I have a 95' 850 wagon with the standard engine. The car is in good shape with recent tune ups and engine work. I hope to keep the car for three more years and was wondering if there is anything i can do to help with the lack of horsepower. I am not lookingto go racing, just help fuel and engine efficiency. Any suggestions?

 

To be honest, no.

You have an N/A meaning not turboed.

You will not gain much from an intake system or even a performance paenl filter. You wont gain much from a catback system either. Your best bet would be to sell your current car and buy a turbo model. I know you didn't want to hear that but it is the truth.

- Panel filter or custom CAI = around 2-5 Hp max.
- Catback exhaust system = 5-10 Hp max.

IMO truly not worth it for an N/A to upgrade at all when you wont gain very much. You could also try the QBM Cam Timing Tool but I wouldn't mess with Cam Timing if you don't know much about it. You would probably gain 2-5 Hp with it if it is done right. You can also loose power too.

 

getting extra hp will not improve efficiency or gas mileage btw.

 

If you want more performance, sell the car and pick up a T5 or R. That would be your best bet because they will be reilable (factory) and cost about the same ammount of money as putting mods on your car.
