Is it worth it getting the ecu upgrade on an auto?

[Solara033]

i saw a solara with an ecu upgrade but he was stick and he said he pulled on S/C solaras, is it true and if it is, do you guys think its worth it?

the car was stock I guess. Toyota doesn't work like VW...I don't know any "ECU upgrade". I know SAFC II and CP-e piggyback...

sorry to say, but I think he was BSing you...

well that sucks.. im trying to find everything and i mean EVERYTHING i can do to get my car as fast as possible without blowin the engine and without nos.. i already have injen but thats before i heard about the CP-E but what else can i add to the car that can make it faster?

no way, without the use of plutonium? He must have a uranium based substance then.

Dude sell the injen, fork over some more cash and get the cp-e. There was a torque rod groupbuy on here just a few weeks ago, helps with wheel hop and can make your car faster off the line, costs about $50 i believe.

Check out my sig and look at my easy bolt on mod list

The injen is plenty capable if you have some sort of tuning device like the SAFC. Are you on a tight budget that puts the supercharger out of the question? That is no doubt the easiest route to make power on the 1mz solara. Its all about how much you have to spend and how fast you want to go.

the cpe is nice and all, but it's pretty much an inflated price on the same thing as any short ram intake and an safc.

the only benefit to the spe is the fact that it comes with a tune pre-mapped so it will save you the price on tuning.

Unless you count the CPE being almost 7/8 of an inch larger pipe diameter which means the MAF no longer takes up half of the air flow path

[Solara033]

this might seem a bit dumb.. but what is SAFC and where can i get it? how much does it cost?

You can also get the CPE with a tunable box that does the same thing

Well the banana peel and beer can, duh!!

the SAFC is a piggyback engine management system used for tuning your air fuel ratio, among other things...
