If you got the money, you can do anything you want on your car. Otherwise there are not many bolt-on performance parts for Camry's.

 

Are you looking to make it a show car of sorts, or trying to really get performance (hp, torque, suspension) out of it? The Camry is not really geared for delivering oomph - but you can trick it out to make it look pretty nice. There is a thread around somewhere where someone has done some serious body work, engine face-lifts and such to make it sure look nice. Modding is fun, so if that's your poison have fun and let us see how it goes! But I don't think you'll get much performance return on investment out of it - just that cool feeling of doing it.

 

It is a daily driver that gets taken care of. I want more power from the engine.

I looked at some body kits, but I don't like bolt on body kits that look like they were added after the fact. for me hp and torque is more important than making it look cool.

I wanna see it when you are done if you do this OP!!

 

Honestly, CAI's are pretty worthless in these cars unless the OP is serious about turbo/supercharging. We already have a CAI, so to speak, as the scoop near the front of the hood pulls in cold air. We're also a bit short on the tuning department too since there never really was a huge interest in tuning them due to the locked ECU, although it was cracked so you can probably ask the tuners (e.g. OrangeVirus or RR-Racing) if they can offer a tune for you.

Lighter rims for weight reduction, sway bars for better handling are some things to consider. Just need to remember that serious work needs to be done to unslouch the Camry (which you already understand it looks like), even if it's the 2GR-FE. FWD wheelhop will suck with more power as well.

I enjoy the K&N because of "you sound like you are going fast so you must be going fast but you really aren't" effect.

 

The 2GR-FE. I wouldn't say there is much horsepower to be added unless a supercharger is installed, but with money there is always a way. With that being said I'll give out suggestions.

Start with fuel, since you share the same motor with the ES/RX350 you can always upgrade to 93 octane. Depending on how much more extra money you want to spend on fuel. I'd personally convert your fuel system to E85 but I don't know your gas pump situation. Next is intakes. Replace/delete all the extra baffles and tubing and don't throw away the actual OEM air box, that is essential for efficiency. The baffles are there to muffle sound so that driver can't hear induction noise, deleting that will create a more direct path.

Next is intake manifold tuning. You could possible get a Dremel and bore out the plastic manifold for small hp gains.

Injectors. You can experiment and try 2GR-FSE or 2GR-FKS injectors from your Lexus counterparts and see if that will increase horsepower aswell. Apparently 2JZ-GE injectors will fit on a 1MZ or 3MZ-FE motor just fine and increases horsepower.

Exhaust system. All bolt ons to change on how your car gets rid off exhaust gases, start with headers and work your way down.

Tune. Get a tune to compensate for any modifications, otherwise you'll be driving a restricted motor. Good luck.

Improved Y pipe and the rest to fully do exhaust is what I plan.... we’ll see if I mange to..

Some of those folks on MR2 forums with the engine swap swear opening up the exhaust and tune will get some power.
