V40 2.0 Non-Turbo Tuning.

TheShoves · May 26th, 2009, 09:24

I've got one of the above, and am wondering how much is feasible to squeeze out of the engine, BHP-wise. I know I could have bought a Turbo'd, or a T4 V40, but I'm quite happy with this. Anyone?

You would at most get 10hp extra without the turbo, probably single figures - pretty much the same that you might get with a decent full flow exhaust and air filter. Have a look on:

10 extra? Surely you jest..I got that on my old Fiesta XR2!

No. Check the links. On the Superchips one, I picked a 2.0 V70 - 126bhp. The official figure is 10bhp extra. Are there two versions of the non-turbo 2 litre engine? It may turn out that yours is the de-tuned version in which case it could atleast be chipped up to the tuned version. A good example would be the 2.4 litre Volvo engine which comes in 14o and 170bhp flavours.
