The Toyota Corolla XRS! Gen 1(Red) And 2(Blue) Corolla XRS The Toyota Corolla XRS stands out as a rare performance-focused variant in the Corolla lineup, and both generations, the 2005–2006 and the 2009–2010, are admired for bringing excitement to an otherwise practical platform.

This engine, borrowed from the Celica GT-S and Lotus Elise, revs to 8,200 RPM and produces 170 horsepower, transforming the humble Corolla into a genuinely quick and engaging car. With sport-tuned suspension, front strut tower brace, and disc brakes all around, this ...

Why the AEM F/IC-6 Is Ideal for Emissions Compliance with Toyota Engines? The AEM F/IC-6 ECU Bundle When modifying a Toyota engine, balancing performance with emissions compliance can be a challenge, especially in states with strict regulations like California. The AEM F/IC-6, a piggyback fuel and ignition controller, offers a powerful solution. It enhances engine performance while allowing the factory engine control unit (ECU) to manage all emissions-related functions. This unique approach makes the F/IC-6 one of the best ECUs for passing emissions tests on modified Toyota vehicles. A major advantage of the AEM F/IC-6 is that it retains the factory ECU, allowing all original emissions systems, like oxygen sensor feedback, catalytic converter monitoring, and evaporative controls, to remain functional. Because these systems are critical to completing OBD-II readiness monitors, their preservation is essential for passing emissions inspections. The piggyback design of the F/IC-6 means it ...

Are They Road Legal? 👈 A Garrett GTX5533R Gen II Turbocharger  In the United States, installing aftermarket turbocharger or supercharger kits isn't inherently illegal, but their road legality hinges on strict emissions regulations, particularly those set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These agencies enforce standards that ensure vehicle modifications do not increase harmful emissions. Whether or not a forced induction kit is street-legal depends on whether it complies with these emissions requirements. Simply put, a high-performance kit without proper certification might dramatically improve power, but it could render your vehicle illegal to drive on public roads. CARB plays a central role in determining emissions legality in California and many other states that have adopted its standards. To be legal in CARB states, an aftermarket turbo or supercharger must carry a CARB Executive Order (EO) number. This number certifie...
