Toyota Echo 2005 RS Performance Upgrade Help
Hello everyone,
I am sorry to be such a newbie but I just purchased a 2005 Toyota Echo RS for my daughter and wanted to get some help to upgrade it. I read the forum on the exhaust and think I would like to go with the DC Sports new Manifold. I did see that I would need a Nitto mid-pipe but can't seem to find where to purchase one. If anyone has any ideas please send them to me!! Also I would like to know for the Cold Air Intake for the Echo from you guys that have them to see which one would be better. Any other information on performance parts to make it unique and better would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you all in advance!! |

IHE upgrades on the 1.0-1.5 found in this platform has been found to net little number gains. I wouldn't even concentrate on number games or number games with this car on an NA motor at all. Doing the IHE upgrades will provide you with better airflow all around which will generally place you into your power band quicker and therefore as well feel like a better power response. I am sorry if I missed it but did you mention if this is with the auto or 5 speed or 6 speed manual? If you have the manual transmission upgrading to a lightweight flywheel definitely provide more pep. Of course that would most likely require a clutch kit as well. I could not tell you about anything in regards to chipping the ECU as I have not seen any real data providing true numbers on increases.

For fun I put a big ass performance muffler on my 2004 Echo RS, and was pleasantly surprised at the better low end power it gave, with no more struggle to accelerate on hills. In number terms the difference was probably quite small, but in driving terms it was significant. Fuel economy also improved, to my surprise.
