Decoding & Breaking Down the 1ZZ-FE Engine BSFC

BTW, if my rpms are too low during the hard acceleration I get rattle from what I'm led to believe is the timing-chain. In that case I of course back off the throttle until things sound better or change down a gear. Busting the engine will negate any MPG savings!

Your 1ZZ-FE is a 2005, which has throttle-by-wire and thus will run rich and produce slightly better torque off the line. jeff88 and mine are earlier ones with cable throttles, which run stoichiometric all the time.

The rattle is probably from the clutch springs, common sound on manual transmission cars.
