I am new with the whole Toyota scene. I parked my 87 transam and now drive a 1993 Celica GT-S. Being that this thread was close to what I was looking for, I thought I would ask you guys.
I would like to eventually, and gradually, modify my car, but, I don't know much about these cars...i am learning more and more.
My transam was a 5.7L TPI, automatic....and I must say, I am impressed with the power of this lil 2.2L 4 cyl. Toyota. Now, one thing I don't quite get is that you guys say that the 5SFE motor is an economy motor...but, it has so much torque....this combo. doesn't quite make sense. I have never seen a car rev so quick....i mean, at 60mph it is already at 3,000 rpm.
The only thing that has been done to the car is a cold air intake and the battery was relocated to the trunk.
Are there any little things you can do to the motor to make it more fuel efficient, and just, get a lil more power out of the motor? I know on the TPI 350 motors, there were several 'little' things you could do to gain hp, but, i am not sure on these puppies.
I would appreciate any info./links you guys could provide me with!
