Where in the uk chips gs300's and what power increase does it give? anyone have any ideas? thank you.
mudzs
would it make much difference as it is not got a turbo ,all the cars i have seen the best results with are turbo
TERMINATOR
you could be talking an increase of 15/20bhp dependant on the chip or remap and better fuel efficiency.

15bhp would be a pretty meaningless upgrade in power in terms of everyday driving. i've never heard of anyone chipping a GS300 in the UK or anywhere else.

if you want genuine POWER upgrade, add a turbo or supercharger.

however, personally, sort the stock suspension out before you go adding more power. the standard GS drives like a boat as it's set up for cruising.

Just buy an Aristo TT...... :)

Or a 430... :)

Or add a nitrus kit :whistling:

I got a proportional injection kit winging its way from the jolly old US of A

So shouldnt be long before I scare myself stupid again

I'd say look at sorting the handling & brakes.

coilovers/TRD anti roill bars/TRD bushes/TOMs-TRD-C-One chassis braces

You could then look at induction kits,exhausts,de-cats,manifolds and a CAMCON

If you have the budget then there are supercharger kits and turbo kits available (low boost)

the latter will give more BHP but comes at a greater cost

To answer your question, the way we do it is to use a sub cumputer used in "piggy bag" mode which enables the fuel and ignition to be recalibrated.

You will not see a huge increase but it is worth doing.

Hope this helps :)
