2003 2.2 petrol power increase

Postby torchwood on Sat Nov 28, 2015 5:18 pm

hi, having had fronteras of every type over the last 15 years (v6 auto my favorite) i now have one just for a second car as i just love them!,,,i run a santa fe 2.2 diesel daily and covered 230k untroubled smooth miles regularly towing 2.5tons!!, its a fantastic car but a weekends i run my frontera, the only problem it feels so slow after the santa fe, is there any kit/procedure that anyone has succesfully got more power out of the 2.2. petrol unit without blowing it up?

If it's just your weekend/low mileage car, why not go back to a 3.2 v6. Not sure how tunable the 2.2 is.

About the only thing you can do is block off the EGR. It wont give you 3.2 power but something..

Plenty you can do it is more of a question of if you should!
Rule #3: Don't believe what you're told. Double check
