[Nigel]

hi once again
Ok seems like i have a SS-1

first question

What BHP would i gain from a Apexi S-AFC II??

Also with out massive mod, turbo, nos or supercharging it what can i do to gain more bhp. Im only after 20-50bhp more.
Thanks

I have read other topics about this engine. Does seen like a hard one to make faster without a serous mod.

I know cars now a days have better systems and it's harder to pick up hp, but my car was made in 93, it's a 94 model. They didn't have the tecnology then they do now.

all celicas, built through 93-99 have pretty much the same technology behind them. the only major change was the move to obd2 in 96.

in my point of view, toyota did all they could with the NA celica motors. there are always balances that their engineers try to strike. like you have to make horsepower, while keeping the car reliable, emissions complient, and a nice and quiet exhaust to keep the average customer happy. you can somtimes get a little more power with a differnte exhaust, intake, etc... but for the most parts, these little 4cyl motors are doing the best they can already .

i think the reason we saw larger gains in older cars is because they were ran by carbs and were mostly v6 and v8s. you cant turn a carb as well as todays computer controled fuel injection, so chances are there was some power that could be gained from a better tune, or a bolt on part.
