Jacksolo4me: Forced Induction is usually the route to go for big power gains...

But accessing those parts and someone to put all in place without breaking the engine after a couple runs is a woe here in Nigeria.-if not laughable and near impossible

A reasonable 280-300hp should be my goal.

Your stage 1 regulars - Intake/Headers/Exhaust/ECU tuning primarily are accessible to me..Come September.

Now Cams/Cylinder/Pistons/Bore increase n Polish (d 2.4L is enough though), Fuel Pump upgrades are well out of reach to me.-I am a DIY person but u can do all of this with a whole lot of Cash- which Is vert limited.

In Nigeria, You won't get any tuning shops or ECU tuners/ReFlashers just road side mechanics n a whole lot of "Professionally recommended blow and break your engine Mechanics"..

TRD's supercharger on the TRD camry edition made me nuts...Just da sound of dat V8 transplant made me go "Chai!!!"

Jacksolo4me: Hmmm a big displacement V8 against a tuned I4 with Turbo.

Say how would a Cadillac CTS-V stack up against a similarly tuned EVO 10(Power wise No weight reduction done only engine mods)

My guess is the EVO smokes the CTS-V on a launch but loses at the top end.

Siena:

You forgot a N/A V8 can be boosted too. Where would that leave the smaller I4 turbo?

grimadult: Hmmmmmmmmmmm I guess I have "riced" my Acura TL(1999). Am running it on a stainless steel rear mufflers with twin exit on each pot(making it quad). Did a mid muffler delete,it sounds quite loud at 2200-2500rpm bt quiet when idling. Had to buy d stainless steel after my stock mufflers rusted out. The stainless steel is from Remus. Running also on 17/225/45 with stock 2005 Acura TL rims,painted it black and orange. Led interior lights. Planing on getting Brembo brakes soon(4 pistons),led Tail lights too,bt as my brother Tdie said,BA kudi.

Jacksolo4me:

Dual turbochargers n 800hp with a blown crankcase n melted piston heads!...The quest for ultimate power on an I4T on twin garret turbochargers and running boost at 20psi....

Same power gain on a Ford Hemi V8 supercharged running say bout 11psi with little or no problems cos the block can handle it.

Pretty much d days of a straight four are just about ended

yungboss:
the insatiable thirst for power, I wonder what cars would be like by 2020...

Jacksolo4me:

This sir is the future........ .ain't it a bright one!....say when the fossil fuel bunks out.

Jeremy Clarkson foresaw it all.

yungboss:
lol, so are you saying we would not have family cars in production anymore?

Jacksolo4me:

The whole point of the Thread is to see how "different from stock" your car is....

Sad to say "Ricing" is still some sort of modification...

Sir do post your cars picture and let evryone judge...who knows you may get CityNG to like it.

CityNG:

Yep. Ricer alert.

But as long as you feel good about it, carry on but I'll be laughing at you.

mikkyphp: This aint a camry thread anymore. OP please modify the title as appropriate

Jacksolo4me:

In as much as it is appropriately stated...plz sir mikkyphp let's give the slip on this one.

His car has quad exhaust!!!.....

And I think he would most probably be considering getting a Camry pretty soon.

mikkyphp: I just placed an order for 2pcs of White H11 7.5W Car LED Fog Lamp Light Bulbs for DRL & 2pcs of HB4 7.5W Car LED Fog Lamp Automobile Light Bulbs for the Full light.
I reckon they should serve my purpose of improving visibility at Night!

Siena: Those LED bulbs give poor lighting, worse than tired old Halogens. They give whiter light, but the beam itself doesn't travel any useful distance.

I'm speaking from experience, I tried these on my previous Audi S8, and was disappointed. I reverted back to new Halogen replacements, and lighting was much improved.

grimadult: Pics.

grimadult:


never meant to post anything to derail the Camry thread,am sorry for that. @JackSolo guess I wuld have to search for my stock rear mufflers again to avoid been laughed at. Only God knows what CityNG would say to me

CityNG:

I personally don't think it's much of a derail. At least we're still talking about cars.

Now if we started to talk about the "loose" Women I saw on Allen avenue then that would be a derail.

But I'm not a mod just an old grumpy Guy
