My E Sis Needs Extra Response From Her Turtle

[satria81]

Dear Ppl,

As above,ive been asked by elder sister to do something bout her toyota vios 2004 model.She claims the car is sluggish during initial take off n during overtaking....my serious problem here is that im not sure how to mod this toyota at all.And she has said that it must not be more than RM0.8k to Rm1k.....so guys pls help me on this project....Ur kind help is appreciated...the best deal for that amount...guys thanks

ermm.....
tell your sister, car is not like handphone larr...
top up RM1k doesn't give u a whole lot of feature and power lerr...

K&N air filter+extractor+exhaust already cost u around 1k. but it still won't give u more than 5-10bhp. u won't feel much difference...
unless u fork out 4k for a turbo kit or a powerful celica 1.8 vvti (2zzge) engine transplant that will cost u around 10k include installation.

bro, think of this way. there's no cheap way modified cars larr...
1k for cars is a very very small amount ;)
small small things also cost few hundreds...

Advise your sister, next time buy car, test drive it first.... if not happy, dun buy.
that's the wisest choice, i bet.

sell the vios and get other car...hehee....(eg9 "auto" still powerfull compared to vios)..heehehehe...

Wow ur sister quite a driver... Vios not fast enough har.. maybe u could try a open pod airfliter... it wouldn't add much hp but i guess maybe the car might be more responsive... happy modding

I agree with xcheong, new car no need mod lah. Should've surveyed a little before buying the car. But I am surprised that you say Vios is not responsive...
I drive that time feel OK. Can feel the car heavy, but can experience the torque also.
Maybe its the over-taking technique that it went wrong? You can't expect to overtake at the last minute when only you saw a gap, it'll be too late, hence probably explained why the underpower...
if u build the power earlier, then it's a different experience.
Dunno how to explain properly....

ofr 1k
hmm...get 2nd hand safc!

Check out the viosclub website. Maybe she can get some idea!!

easy only...get K & N drop in filter...then...buy extractor..can feel more pickup liao...cheap loh...if not enough mod the ecu a bit...then ok liao...look stock but more power..

 

[white_bird]

guys.. he is wanting response.. so suggestion is.. change to lighter rims or even smaller rims.. throw all the useless things in the car.. service it at every 5000km.. (n use toyota fully 5w 40).. kekek.. or if u really into mod.. don care to void warranty.. go for engine blue printing.. very good response..

 

[theorekz]

as far as i know, theres one guy driving a turbo vios in zth right? toilet-duck ar if i'm not mistaken... ask assistance from him loh... heh heh... with turbo sure differs a lot.... :D

 

[xcheong]

yeah. 1k mod is very little only larr
the tiny performance gain won't give the ooomph to her sister wei...

turbokit or celica 2zzge engine! for sure overtake in split second kekek...

 

[manhunt]

good suggestion from them...if i were you i'd just ditch the cat.conv, and put aftermarket drop-in filter will do.

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

change the exhaust system, put in aftermarket filter and mess with ur ecu... after that sure can feel the power increase... but all these need rm3k i guess...

 

[wetwetwater]

since you guys are in this topic,

mind if i ask, does the Celica 2zzge fit in the Corona ST150 chassis ?

 

[koolspyda]

got $$$ everything pun boleh.

maybe a little hacksaw here & there. ;)
