Hi My name is Bob Wilson. I am from Australia. I have a Toyota 4 runner with a 4YE engine coupled to an Auto. Not the most powerful piece of equipment on earth. Looking for advice on how I might improve it get up and go even if only a little bit.

Hello and welcome to the site mate
Hi there, I hope you are well. May I wish you a warm welcome to TorqueCars, it is a pleasure to meet you.
You'll find us a very friendly and enthusiastic bunch and I'm sure you'll start to love and enjoy the forums as much as we all do. (It gets quite addictive at times.)
Feel free to get involved in our other threads, all opinions are welcome and as they say "the more the merrier"! (It's also great when people start new threads and discussions and all adds to the great debate.)
Keep us up to date with your project as well, we like to see what people are getting up to with their cars.
The best mods for a car engine are as follows.
Internal work yields the biggest gains, head work like porting polishing and 3 angle valve jobs will maximise the airflow and raise the power.
If you want to go to the max then cryo treat the block, get it rebored and look into blueprinting and balancing as well.
Bigger valves are an obvious addon but not all engines are suitable as it depends how close together the OEM valves are.
A fast road cam will yield good power gains, especially in the top end of the rev range. Don't go mad though a profile of up to 270 degrees will give the best gains without the engine becoming cammy.
The most popular power mods are induction kits (which are questionable as power mods but they can sound nice if that is your sort of thing) and sports exhausts with sports catalysts or decats.
To keep the car legal I'd recommend a sports catalyst rather than a decat.
The last mod should always be a remap as this will allow you to fully realise the power gains on offer from your mods.
It's worth having a read of the articles on www.torquecars.com/tuning/ for more information on these mods and what the terms mean.
