    Merc 2.0 mods

    Hey guys, I am making my winter plans, What mods do the 2.0 merc like? The engine is an 86 150 xr2. I don't need to do a complete rebuild and the motor runs great at the moment so looking more in the line of bolt on's or mods that don't require to completly disassemble the engine.

    Best mod I did to my XR2 was to remove the powerhead and install a 2.4 200

    They can run real good. No cutting on this one yet. This is with a 20 chopper. Runs 96.1 with a 30.

    James can take care of you for the tube porting, I'm done with it all for the next foreseeable future. For a stout running 2.0 you will need to run 200 lbs of compression.
