How can I gain a little H.P. / Torque?

I am curious as how to gain a little H.P./ torque from my little 2.7 L without having to add a turbo or go inside of the engine. I'm not looking for a lot of gain. The engine has enough power as it is, but as a gear head I'm always searching for that little bit more power that I can squeeze out of my vehicles. Are there actual programmers out there besides the rip offs that trick the EAT into thinking the vehicle is running cold thus making the computer throw more gas into the engine. These fake programmers have little if any H.P. gains and the computer usually compensates for the " trick" and then the fake programmer does nothing to add the extremely small H.P. gains. ( usually only 2- 3 H.P. )

 

i would also love to know if there's anyway to gain HP and torq I believe there's a

Deck plate mod

That opens up the air box people claim it helps it'd be interesting maybe diffrent injectors? Fuel pumps?

 

remove weight!

 

Throw a header on the little 4 banger....it will wake it up. Plus the whole coolness factor when you look under the hood.

Turbo

 

But why a turbo might as well go supercharged,

 

LCE Header. That's pretty much the only thing proven 100% to gain you power.

Don't buy an intake by the way. They do absolutely nothing.

 

Motor swap haha.

 

And I'll take your 2.7 for my 92

 

Deal man! lol.

 

Just remember, the 2.7 is the reliable no fuss motor(better than the 4.0 and 3.5 v6 in my opinion) It will run harder and longer than those.. You can message @tooter for tips and tricks, he knows what he's doing with the 2.7

 

I'll be pulling my 22re and dropping a 3rz in but need harness and ecu

 

Didn't the tundra that hit 1 million miles have the 4.0 engine in it?

 

ehhhhh except sound way cool! duh

haha

 

It was a high mileage tacoma, but as a whole the 2.7 does better with reliability.

 

It was a 4.0 V6 Tundra:

Header.

 

Headers don't do much for power unless you have some kind of forced induction (super/turbocharger). If you aren't forcing more air in, having a freer flowing exhaust isn't going to do a whole lot other than sound different.

 

Decent gains have been dynod on the 2.7.

 

Interesting, I wonder what the design difference is. They would do insanely better with a blower in front of them though
