You can't do much to these new Engines as they're designed very well from factory especially with VVT-i........

Only thing I would do is upgrade the brake pads. This allows you to reach a higher speed before having to brake so you'll get from A-B faster.

Later on upgrade the Clutch with a heavier P/P and Organic clutch disc in preparation for the Turbo kit as that's the only way your going to get extra HP without re-engineering the whole Engine....

A rear-diff ratio change may help you, but you'll be best to run that change in a simulator first just to be sure your 0-100 time improves as you may have to factor in an extra gear change etc.....

Actually, does TRD USA do a supercharger Hit for that Engine ? If they do, that may be an easy bolt-on option to look at.

From what I hear, these engines are pretty strong and respond well to forced induction.Only real worth while modification. No point forking out for extractors now, only to make up a turbo manifold later.

yeah i havent found alot of mods on the net for 3rz-fe engines apart from a few mods i've found off tacoma sites and stuff from america but thats mainly for their 4wd bush bashing lol like the deckplate mod and stuff.......

but yeah i've had the car for bout 3 weeks now and slowly starting to get to know the engine...haha its pretty crazy i reckon!!!....always wanted a hilux....

i think you need to talk to brett_celicacoupe, he is on these site and i think he is doing some interetsing stuff with that particular engine.

cheers.
