I've never done much on a car other than change the oil, but i want to look into installing some easy upgrades to increase my hp and tq. Easier the better! Right now I'm running a stock automatic with the TRD sport muffler. Any help would be great

 

I/H/E

 

x2

doesn't get much easier than that

 

thanks

 

buy something other than the tC.

 

s/c or turbo

 

easy install?

 

oh yeah sorry didnt read that but i/h/e is a waste of money and also esp. for a auto the only way to really increase HP is F/I.

 

Save your money and turbo it.

 

x2..thats what im doing lol.

 

If it was easy, EVERYONE would do it. It takes time, money, patients to play!!

But you have started off well by looking for advice instead of just buying ebay parts. So have a look around and determine what your goal is. Do you want a beast, or just a fun car?

 

just a fun car! I'm not looking to take it to the races. I just feel like the car is really under powered! btw...random question...Do the 2008 tC's have less than the 06's? I swear my 06 had more power than my 08, but it looks like the engine sizes are the same. Thanks for the help.

 

try the back yard brawler turbo kit by tod from whyindustries.com great kit for 1999 it is easy bolt on or chek out website and see what u want.

 

The 08 has 1 more HP than the 05-06. And it has a nicer power band, so it should feel faster. But its such a slight difference, you arent going to notice it.

If you just want some fun. Go intake/header/exhuast. It will be around $1000. And get you around 15hp. Should be enough to make it alittle more fun.

 

it probably is. I just had a truck before my scion, so it probably just feels less powerful!

doesnt make too much sense lol. just do i/h/e for just a car

 

For $1000, upgraded suspension will add more 'fun' to the car than I/H/E.
