Power adders for the new 3.5 engine ?

What are the best ways to add some power to the New Atkinson 3.5 engine ?

 

LS swap

 

There's a tune @OVTune

 

A little nitrous oxide!

 

As another member said there is a tune out for this truck by Orange Virus tuning. Its probably the only thing that will make a noticable difference. I have it and am running the 91octane tune. World of difference! I reccomend checking out the thread to learn more about it.

 

Step on it. Like for real.

 

NOS

 

A CAI!

No don't do that I'm kidding they don't do squat

 

5.0 coyote swap...

 

Just ignore all the jerks putting in bluntly stupid sugestions such as an engine swap. Thats just how this community tends to be. Go with what i mentioned earlier. The orange virus tuning kit is hands down the only real performance mod you can do at the moment until a turbo or supercharger is released. This truck is still very new and more mods are slowly being released.

 

This motor likes to rev, so use it!


Or always drive downhill with a tailwind.

 

Ovtune

 

High speed winch

 

Owned several F-body Camaro’s & a z06 Corvette I’m a nerd when it comes down to those engines. HOWEVER, I’m totally in love with my first truck and it’s power, to say the least. These small little trucks are straight beast.

Seems like you really need to test your truck I would advise to take a snow trip or a trip to a high altitude place then you’ll see what you own.

 

Cat Back + TRD intake + OVtune...

 

Why are they jerks? Lol...

 

Either tune it or gear it, unless you spend big bucks and go custom boost.

Eveything else (cai, exhaust, etc.) is garbage in regards to netting any real power.

 

I watched this several times....for heal toe tips....

 

I bought some chucks because of it

 

It pretty simple really. Outside of a forced induction (supercharger) setup, get an AFe intake, URD y-pipe, and a cat-back exhaust. This engine, like most, benefits from more air in and out, despite what the naysayers might tell you.

Don't expect it to give you much more torque, but you can certainly get some more ponies.

If you don't believe me, look at the Lexus 350 numbers: https://www.caranddriver.com/lexus/rx/specs

Same motor.
