proformance chip

**tanka34** · 02-25-2010, 08:46 PM

I want to buy a chip for my 02 celica GT which is the best one to get to increase my hp and r the one's on ebay any good

**akley88** · 02-25-2010, 08:54 PM

there is no performance chip made for the 7th gen celica. you would need to do a custome tune after mods are done on a piggyback or stand alone ecu. the "performance chips" on ebay are only resistor chips. they had extra electrical resistance to the sensor they hook up to. they actually do nothing for you at all. if you wanna get one go to radio shack they only cost like 50 cents there and it will do the same thing as the ebay ones.

**subspec** · 02-25-2010, 09:52 PM

As ak said. There's only a illusion. Gotta ask tho what mods do you have . Standalones and piggybacks are usualy good for turbo applications. If you have a na setup. Id save my money.

dont waste your money

**dirtking** · 03-03-2010, 12:47 PM

I agree with all these guys. From what I have been seeing is a stock GT (1ZZ) engine is already tuned to the max so the only way to get more performance is to modify the engine first (add a turbo for example) then you will have to modify the computer management system (by either adding/changing the chip or having the computer reprogrammed) to match your modifications. I don't know much about it in detail but it is one of the first things these guys told NOT to do as I was hoping to just plug in a chip and have more power. Too bad it's not that easy huh? Hope this helps.

Mook.

**subspec** · 03-03-2010, 01:51 PM

I like to say power is earned. If you want more power do some research. :) were not gonna just tell you what to buy to earn 300hp or 500hp. That's earnt by learning and spending time doing research and knowing the mechanics of your motor.

**akley88** · 03-03-2010, 03:56 PM

thats what i did i researched the best parts i would need for what i plan on doing. i have the entire list of what i need to hit my goal. figuring out your goal is the first and most important part when you build ur car or you could end up wastingmoney on parts you will just replace later.

**subspec** · 03-03-2010, 05:53 PM

yep. i got a list of all the parts i need for my 5sgte build. i have it catagorised by what i need to run and what i want lol. the sway bars and pillow mounts can wait. :)

**dirtking** · 03-03-2010, 09:01 PM

LOL My list changes from day to day (or actually paycheck to paycheck) depending on the $$ situation. LOL I'd love to put on a better sounding exhaust but damn,, from what I have seen it's pretty expensive (around $300.00 to as hi as $600.00 i think) just for a muffler? Oh well,, they say it's good to want right? LOL

Mook

**akley88** · 03-03-2010, 09:15 PM

im looking at a list of parts totalling 25,000 when all is said and done. im still trying to decide on the size injectors i want.

**idrivefry02** · 03-03-2010, 09:52 PM

My list is sitting around 14,000 for everything i want...

**dirtking** · 03-03-2010, 11:13 PM

My list just changed a lot. I saw a Bugatti Veyron the other day on the highway and suddenly I felt like I was driving a YUGO. So now I cut my list down to only one item,,, a Bugatti Veyron. I know it's not a Celica but damn,, if you saw what I saw,, your list would be the same too.

**subspec** · 03-04-2010, 04:17 AM

lol. i got about 6 to 7k dumped into my motor alone then another 1500 into audio. 1000 into body dam carbon fiber hood along was 600. then its prob another 3 to 5 for the rest.

so this puts me at about ehhhhhhhh 15k. and thats doing all the work myself. having a shop do it. prob will put it at 20k to 30k

**jons02gts** · 03-04-2010, 08:12 AM

hell, for my list in the rough for everything I want to do, it is between 20-30k

if i could get any supercar it would either the 9ff carrera gt-t900 or the new porsche 918 spyder concept.

are you including tuning time and dyno time. cause that adds up quickly.

**sic** · 03-04-2010, 07:34 PM

i think totaled out i should have around 4500 into mine

**akley88** · 03-04-2010, 09:22 PM

u going for a nice dd and not all out performance

**cbcelica** · 03-04-2010, 09:34 PM

so has there ever been someone who built an n/a 1zz? im afraid once the port and pollish and stage 2 cams are done, i may be running lean, not sure the stock injectors will cut it... or the stock computer? so how do i go about knowing how big of injectors i will need or whuch computer or piggy back?

**akley88** · 03-04-2010, 09:39 PM

ur best bet is to do a piggyback or tune after u do those mods to get the most out of them. u shouldnt need injectors much bigger then stock though. i would ask mwr or a performance shop for some advice on the size. plus to run larger injectors properly u will need a piggyback ecu to control the injectors properly since the stock computer wont be able to control them right.
