Hi guys,

Ive been thinkin (not always good when i do that)

I got a 2.0 20v motor in my 850, its ok on power but i wouldnt mind a little more. The engine is sweet so i dont want to swap it out or anything.

Whats the best mods for this engine? Ive thought about the usual air filter and exhaust but are there any tricks of the trade for cheap power out of these engines?

Also, Will fitting camshafts from the 2.5 20v (non-turbo) give me more power? What is the difference in lift/duration between the cams of the two engines?

An ECU upgrade would prob do you good. IPD, BSR, etc prob have them for your car. No idea about the cams though.

You got any links to a site/s that sell the ECU`s?

Sounds quite interesting. Expensive?

Ton of sites in "links to sites" in the general forum.

Dont know about your car, but $800-$1,000 maybe.
