Get 07 Matrix Xr close to 200hp - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 2007 Matrix Xr automatic. Is it possible to get v6 power out of this car?

It seems a cai and exhausts are not serious upgrades or worth it for a car. I feel like little things like a better air filter and synthetic oil and just maintaining the car are gonna give just as much performance.

custom turbo...

I/H/E will get you 10HP so that is like 140 hp at the crank so with an auto that is like 115 at the wheels. A turbo will be nice for more HP, but is is very costly.

what would be a step further and not turbo?

Why dont you just put a 2zz in and a 6 speed and u'll be well over what u have now, i have I/e and im already almost at 200hp to the wheels

Really, intake, exhaust and header will get you 10-15 HP for about $1K. A supercharger will get you about 30 HP for about $3K. A turbo will cost even more but will give you a bit more HP and a lot more torque. No other real options.

not really much you can do with an auto...

custom turbo is your best choice! Ive seen it done for $3k but you will have to get some trany work too!

forgot to factor in drivetrain loss, so you are closer to the 175 hp to the wheels with those mods, unless you have a dyno to prove that are "close" to 200 hp.

to break into the 200 hp realm, 2zz owners go for S/C or better still turbo.

i ran 170whp w/ my xrs w/ i/h/e....

200whp is a hard nut to crack n/a

just go custom turbo

how come i missed this LOL!

I call this the BS of the Day! you wont get passed 180whp with I/E let alone almost 200whp... that dyno most of been really messed up dude!

in a matrix xrs, typicall I/E gains are in the very low 170's

ported header, decat, full 2.5'' mandrel exhaust, a very good intake should put you in the low 180's

^ all that plus apex pfc, a tune, PPE header and intake and you will be in the very low 190's... barely...

but 200whp? you will need pistons, P&P and some hopes and dreams...

NUFF SAID!!!
