2.2 POWER Anyone !!

[David Ullrich]

Just like any naturally aspirated engine, you aren't going to get tons of
power without switching to forced induction (turbo). But the 2.2ltr JT/KX
engine does respons nicely to some modifications. The first mod you should
do is advance the timing. If you run premium fuel all the time, you should
be able to advance the timing to at least 12*. First set it to 12* and go
for a drive. Do you hear any pinging? No? Try setting it to 14*, if you did
hear pinging, back it off to 12* and test drive again. Basically, you want
as much advance as possible without pinging. Other mods that will help: 272*
cam, 2.25" exhaust (with 4000 quattro downpipe if it is a Coupe GT), larger
throttlebody from the 2.3 NG/NF engine, port & polish, balance & blueprint,
lightened flywheel, etc. Basically you can do anything you can do on any
other NA engine. A properly modded 2.2 KX should get up to about 130-140 HP.
