Chip tuning - Toyota Solara, 2.4 L, 2004
Probably, like any car enthusiast, after two years of car operation, I have a clear desire to do something with the car. It is clear that first of all I want to raise the engine power, so that the dynamics will never be superfluous. The first thing that came was to start with a painless procedure - chip tuning. They seem to be shouting at every corner: 15 minutes and a 10% increase in power in your pocket. Moreover, for 2.4 liters, 159 horses are clearly not the limit.
But after intensive surfing on the Internet and calling a number of companies, it turned out that my 2AZ engine, the same as in the Camry, is not chipable in principle. They offered to put a compressor, a turbine, in general to climb into the "guts" and just chip tuning for Toyota - unreal garbage.
As a result, one kind uncle suggested that I treat the engine with a miracle compound, which somehow interacts with iron and forms a very strong layer on the surfaces of rubbing parts, filling various defects caused by wear. The development is very secret, so I had to go to Moscow, where the engine was processed directly for me.
The result was not exactly what I was expecting: fuel consumption decreased by about 1-1.5 liters and the oil stopped turning black from replacement to replacement. And the dynamics remained unchanged. As a result, the dissatisfaction remained.
Apparently, simple settings are indispensable and you will have to get into the hardware, although you don't really want to, since you will have to remain without a car for a while.
Maybe someone has already encountered the problem of engine chips on Toyota? Tell me, people are kind and knowledgeable.
Minor, but there is. If I were you, I would rummage through American websites. The guys there are quicker, they could have come up with something ...

I have just looked through the chip tuning sites and I have not found chips for gasoline engines for Toyota anywhere, only diesel engines are chipped. Most likely this is due to the VVTI technology in which the gasoline engine works according to the Atkinson cycle and not Otto as usual.
Yes, and the Atkinson cycle applies current to priuses like.
30 thousand euros is a bit too much of course. It's easier to buy the RS focus right away.
All the same, there are companies that are engaged in tuning any cars and motors, but this is for crazy people who have no money. On TV recently they showed a tuned Tsafira with a 2-liter engine from which 380 mares were squeezed out, Turvokompressor + chip + another camshaft. 30 thousand euros met.
Unfortunately, these Germans chip the diesel current, apparently the atmospheric engines are not so efficiently chipped. Apparently it is necessary to stick the cylinder block. I will do it closer to spring, when the result on the road can be felt.
I didn’t do this either, so I can’t say anything. I know that my acquaintances were chipping diesel engines, they just connected a new chip to a standard onboard computer and all the work. Only here it must be registered in the technical passport otherwise it will not pass the inspection.

That's right, VVTI is a valve timing system. I was wrong with the Atkinson cycle. Thanks to the VVTI system, the maximum torque value is achieved in all engine operating modes.
I found what I needed. But I don't know whether they are being sent to Russia or not.

The Germans asked to send them a photo of the engine, although I sent them the engine model number. I wonder how they can determine from the photo they can make an entot block for me or not? Are you closer to the Germans - do they really do these things and do they work? Sorry for stupid questions - this is the first time I've dealt with this.
I dashed off a letter for them, can it really fit? On the site, they all turn out beautifully, I wonder how it will be in reality.

In the USA, they sell a separate ignition and fuel control unit, connects to the car's computer connectors, costs about 700 bucks, but who will write the engine control program? This requires a stand and an experienced minder-tuner, so far this is the most difficult part.
there are options for replacing brains relatively inexpensive and effective
