Tuning an NA and a turbo for power is a different thing all together.

Celica tuners over at newcelica.org say 12.7-13.5 is where they tune for in lift. Its crazy whats lean on a turbo car vs whats lean on an NA car.

Also the heisistation between 6000 and 6200 rpm you feel sometimes is normal. Its the first cam falling on its face. You feel it more in higher gears. Dont be afraid to drop a gear or 2 to find the powerband in this motor. Its tought to find it at first and not think youre guilty of beating it, but you have to.

Also, everyone looking to do this please remember if its a pre03 engine to replace the lift bolts in it. Its way easy to do with the engine out of the car. Source a new PCV to valvecover gasket, a new valvecover gasket, and the 2 lift bolts.

And a powerfc on this engine is a very incredible mod. Worth every penny on the 2zz.
