Performance chips - just one more way to spend some money now trying to save more in the near future. This is all about them you may probably say and I would normally support that opinion. However it is pretty interesting what happens when the world's largest automaker and a generally nice solution like these performance chips get together.

The result is quality - the key element to every big company's success. For you this could be just the quality you need to save some money and get the best of your engine. Let me now explain some basic things about the three types of performance chips available on the market.

The first type is the control module. This great adjustment will stay directly under-the-hood of your Toyota vehicle linked to the electrical system between the onboard computer and the various sensors you already have. It will intercept all data that is collected from the sensors and then it will add some improving adjustments. After that it will let the corrected data pass to the computer which will make the necessary adjustments to ignition timing, air/fuel ratio and all other key elements that are letting your Toyota automobile be the very thing you would like it to be.

But it's not just that. The second performance chip you could use is called power programmer. It unlike the one I previously described is a plug-n-play device. That means that you could install and uninstall it whenever you want to and put it on just when you thing it will be really useful to you. The power programmer is like a second computer that is programming your onboard one. Right after you plug this device to your OBD-II port you will be asked a few questions. This will allow for the device to prepare your car for your needs. That's why an important option you will get is the one that allows you to pick a power solution you would like to use for your next trip on the road.

One of the great things about power programmers resides in the name of these devices. They program your onboard computer providing it with a new set of instructions that will allow for it to fit your current needs. After the program is uploaded to the onboard computer you can unhook your power programmer or leave it there so that you could change into other modes you desire.

The EMS (Engine Management System) is the last performance chip I will tell you about. I left that for last because this is perhaps the best system you can get on the market today. It will not just give you a few adjustments and some nice modes or good solutions for your power management. It will in fact give you the full control over your vehicle's computer system.

This is a very advanced system providing real time information about everything your computer interferes with. If you are an expert who would like the total control over the vehicle - this device is for you. But even if your are not it can still tell you everything you need to make your engine run on its best for every situation on the road.

Sooner or later every owner of Toyota experience the desire for more power and better management. That's why the standard engine control unit more and more often is not enough. It can in fact make adjustments but it may not be able to easily help you do them on your own in a better way. This is exactly why some experts on the field will tell you that performance chips are their way on really getting "under the hood".

Toyota Camry Used Engines: A Smart Buy

The Toyota Camry was birthed in 1983 with a 2.0L engine. The platform has matured over the years. The vehicles now have much more passenger and luggage space, and the top of the line Camry is now equipped with a 3.5L VIN K engine. Growing up has not changed the main reason people like Camry’s: quality.

When a Toyota Camry engine fails, most mechanics will immediately suspect abuse. The thought of a Camry engine failing for natural reasons just doesn’t click with experienced mechanics unless the engine in question is one with very high miles. My sister, for example, drives a 1996 Toyota Camry with a 2.2L 5S-FE engine. Her engine has over 250,000 miles on it, and it drives like a top. Besides regular oil and spark plug changes, I have only had to change her timing belt and water pump once. If I felt like there was any danger in her becoming stranded, I would buy her another car, but the fact that she is in a Camry sets my mind at ease. Even with the high miles on her engine, she has 180 compression straight across on the engine and around 50psi on the oil pressure at idle. In other words, this engine has a lot of life left on it.

Any time we receive a call from someone inquiring about a Camry engine, my first thought is “Now what in the world have they done?” The most common reasons for Camry engine failure are overheating the engine and lack of oil changes. This is definitely something that is categorized under abuse, no ifs ands or buts! No one will ever admit they have abused an engine, of course, and sometimes I wonder how many people realize how hard they are on cars!

2007 and newer Toyota Camry’s were offered with a 3.5L 2GR-FE engine and a 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine. Both of these engines are available in other vehicles. The 2AZ-FE engine doesn’t seem to be quite as reliable as the 2.2L FS-FE engine that it replaced, but it is still one of the best engines in production in the world.

2002-2006 Toyota Camry’s came with 2.4L 2AZ-FE, 3.0L 1MZ-FE, and, for 2004-2006, 3.3L 3MZ-FE engines. All of these are very reliable. In fact, I can count on both hands the number of major problems we’ve seen with 3MZ-FE engines.

Finally, 1994-2001 engines used the 5S-FE 2.2L engine and 3.0L 1MZ-FE. This was, in my opinion, the most reliable generation of Camry’s. I have access to great deals on cars, and I choose to put my family members in this generation of Toyota Camry.

Having examined the reliability of the latest 3 generations of the Toyota Camry, let us then examine our premise for this article, which is that a used Toyota Camry engine is a great buy. In order for something to be a great buy, it has to be a great value. Value = cost – benefits. Cost on replacement Camry engines can be very reasonable if you know how to shop. Make sure though, that you only buy a Low Mileage Engines. I repeat: You want a Low Mileage Engines. A high mileage Camry engine will probably work, but why spend the money to replace an engine if you’re not going to get maximum life? The answer is that a wise person probably would opt for maximum life. And that is what I recommend.

I have a Toyota camry 1996 with only 40K on it. Should I replace its timing belt and water pump?

This car has been driven very little and spends most of its time in a garage. According to the manual, the timing belt should be replaced every 100K or every 10 years. Should I still replace the timing belt given that it is already 12 years old in spite of its low miles? I got this car used and know that its timing belt has never been replaced.

Unless the water pump seems to have a problem, I wouldn't replace it. If it does not lose water through the pump or have a noisy bearing, leave it.
The timing belt could be replaced, yes, it does become brittle over time, regardless of driving habits.
I wouls also carefully examine all the cooling system and heater rubber hoses, at 12 years old they, too, could show signs of hardening.
I'd definitely also look at the state of the thermostat cover, they are a replaceable item that corrode between the rubber hose and the cover, you never realise it until you remove the upper radiator hose. It can be so bad even a new hose and clip won't stop a leak at that point. There may also be a replaceable fitting on the lower radiator hose, Corollas have one, I don't know the Camry setup.
