Not much else without spending big money. Best thing to do is whip it out and stick a turbo lump in there if you want more power.

Thanks Red, I thought there might be an ECU chip at least or something like that without going mental financially.

Really though? They do sound great, but if you want more power at 150-170 bhp, then how long is the 180ish bhp from the v6 going to last you before you want to mod that?

At least if you get bored of the 200ish bhp from a rev1 turbo lump, it doesnt cost much to turn the boost up and get 50bhp from it.

Depends if you get bored of the power quickly.

my V6 that Joe now has was 208bhp and feels so much more lively than the NA I took in as PX from him.

The turbo lumps are probably the easiest way to get power but not a cheap conversion to do well

Hey yodi. Yes mate I am loving it. I'll pm ya. Rob your right if you want real power the only way to go is turbo but for me 200 or so horses is enough. I just love the sound a v6 makes and it feels just as fast as my old rev2 turbo. yodi, prob best to sell my old one and get a turbo if your stayin with the mr2s
