Performance upgrade ideas

[Marksouthard114]

I have a 2010 corolla s I have short ram intake 3in borla exhaust performance chipped I want to make it even faster and still keep it reliable what should I put on it

Hey I was thinking about putting a exhaust and intake on my 09 corolla s but was told it doesn't make a measurable difference. Do you find a notable difference

 

[Marksouthard114]

Yes I dose make a difference I have done that to mine and I have felt a huge difference in power

 

[Marksouthard114]

I have a KN short ram typhoon intake and a 3in borla exhaust I also have performance chip, I have raced some V6 mustangs and challengers and left them in the dust both of those cars run at at least 190 horsepower

 

[RollaS]

What performance Chip are you using because I've only heard that they never work and I would love to get one that actually does something

 

[Marksouthard114]

Mine is from tunesport performance they are easy to put in and cost like $60 they are made in the US and if you need help putting it in you can call the place and s person will walk you through it

 

[Marksouthard114]

It’s not a huge difference but you can feel it when you put the pettiest to the floor and you will see a difference in mpg

 

[RollaS]

Did you run it on a dyno? 190hp from 130hp for 60 dollars seems very sketchy

 

[Marksouthard114]

No that’s with my intake exhaust and chip

 

[Marksouthard114]

Here’s a pic of my car chip and exhaust

 

[Marksouthard114]

With all of these upgrades I estimate I am running at 220 horsepower

 

[Marksouthard114]

With those three your looking at 900 dollars to 1000

I was also thinking about putting on a small Vtec Supercharger and push 8 pounds of psi to give me a big push in horsepower

First of all, if your Corolla is still N/A a 3" exhaust is way too big and you will lose power and torque. 2nd, if you want real power it's time to turbocharge it. The turbo kit from turbokits.com is excellent. It's well made and very reliable. I've had mine installed for 2 1/2 years and it's been amazing. I just got back from a 3500 mile road trip and averaged 33-39 mpg each tank while having a blast in the mountains. Check it out.

It's a "K-type" lip spoiler from eBay for the 2009-10 Corolla.

I bought the TRD front upper strut brace and rear sway bar from a local Toyota dealer. I bought my Ultra Racing bars online. I have a front lower 3-point chassis brace, lower side chassis braces, rear upper strut brace, rear lower 2-point chassis brace and rear 19mm sway bar.

May I get the links where you purchased the ultra racing bars?

I bought most of those 8-10 years ago so I don't even remember.

Everyone that I spoke to that knew what they were talking about told be 2.25" was the largest that you wanted with a N/A engine. The only exception to that would be if you totally built a N/A engine than 2.5" would be possible.
