Tuning modifications for the Toyota Avensis
Our guide will make your Avensis much better and more fun to drive!
Available in standard form with power of upto 175bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Avensis. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 192.5bhp to 297.5bhp depending on how far you want to go. The larger power figure would need major work like a rebore, balancing, porting polishing and an agressive cam. It would also take a fairly hefty dose of forced induction.
Toyota mods should include an engine swap to provide a better base to work from. The ’175bhp Avensis Saloons’ is a real gem in terms of power. The more powerful Avensiss respond exceptionally well to tuning mods. Top of your list for tuning mods will be a sports exhaust system, a fuel boost valve (for a snappy throttle response) and a good quality induction kit.
The next level of modifications involve taking more aggressive action. The Avensis responds well to a fast road cam which is one of the best value mods out there. Getting better flow through the head of the engine would reward your Avensis with more power. So get the engine head polished and ported.
The most powerful Avensis Saloon in our database offers 175 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 192.5 bhp to 297.5bhp with mods we have outlined above.
Toyota put together a nice package but the turbo Avensis owners have a real tuners dream. A remap and Intercooler will add a lot of power to the engine and in some cases you can double your power. The Avensiss come in various power levels right up to 175bhp. On a motorsport prepared Avensis it is possible to achieve power figures of anywhere approaching 227.5bhp to 332.5bhp. But this sort of power requires some pretty heavy investment and a hell of a lot of engine work. . High on your list of mods for your Avensis should be handling improvements. The Car Tuning Guide do not recommend lowering more than 35mm.
