115% of everyone here is going to tell you 3 things

1) read the faq's
2) use the search function, search for BP swap or BPT swap.
3) dont ask really vague questions, or else you will get really vague answers.

as for adding power, your going to have to spend money, its not cheep.

Reason why its hard finding stuff for it is because its such a craptacular engine for building power with.

if a fair bit of money is over 1500 bucks, then do the BPT swap, its 180 hp and is easily do-able.
