How about you do that 25 "free" hp to a i4 like you promised. This section is filled with mods, use the search function. From my experience the best mods were:

Suspension (tokico/eibach/trd rsb)
exhuast (apexi world sport)
supercharger

And you're supposed to be a "trained" Toyota tech asking us these questions? :roll:

Yes, for a Toyota technician, the easy mods include the tornado vortex air effect, advance timing kit, or airflow resistor adaptation with the ECU. I did this to my '90 Gen2 V4, now deceased due to a concrete center median, and the power band was stupendous that it broke loose every time I lightly tapped the accelerator.

I wish I could post a super giant happy face for that one

I hear so many people call their inline engine a v4... I guess they could get away with calling it a 4v if they had 4 valves...

*applause* to TadS for the correction of the day

took the words right out of my mouth!!

hey redhottoyo, if you're a "toyota trained tech" how many (and which) ASE certifications do you have??
something makes me think that he doesn't have any and wouldn't even be able to hang with the Express Lube team in my shop. can you change oil at least??
