Seems very tight on a 2i, cheapest power upgrade I know of would be Nitrous Oxide. But you probably wouldn't get much change to fill your bottle up with £300 even if you installed it yourself? Thats a guess btw :rolleyes: never looked at Kit prices, check the guide here.

Maybe you could go the 2.0L 16V route...
I am sure for 300 sheets you could get the engine and parts needed for hte conversion. Selling all the parts u have at the moment liek the engine, would give you afew extra pennies to spend on stuff like an exhaust ...? or were you looking to keep the 8V setup?

i though about an engine conversion but the cost will sky rocket (cant believe i just said sky rocket) with having to pay to get the engine fitted thats why i though cam or chip, im still toying with going jap and getting this evo or skyline
