I was wondering if it is possible to do a HEI mod for 1.6L RS? So far I've only seen/read HEI mod for 1.8L and I've searched but nothing came up for 1.6L. If its possible can someone post a write up . Thank in advance!!!

First you should know it's not a V4...it's an I4...as in Inline 4. Other less charitable individuals would make fun of you for that...but i'm above that sort of thing.
I believe Tunes67 did HEI his RS. I don't know if there's a write up or not...but I am certain he's done it. If you as him he might be able to help you.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
2004 Honda RC51 --- Lost forever to some theavin' bastard My Worklog My feedback thread Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Thx wytbishop!! lol i didn't know RS engine was an Inline 4, but thx for the charitable action You learn from your mistakes. I really appreciate the help. I'll pm Tunes67 and ask him (hope he doesn't mind), but other comments are welcome.
I did the HEI on my RS...I dont have pics because I dont have the car anymore. You need to drill into the disty cap and mount a tower, thats the only different between that and the v6 install...that and maybe the splicing into the plug wires might be slightly different. There is a writeup if you search.
I have a '93 MX3 with the 1.6l and I had a friend of mine that's good with electrical work do the HEI mod on my car. If you would like, I can get a picture for you.
I just went to O'Reillys and asked for a GM HEI module...think it was like $14 dollars. Pretty much any auto parts store will have handfulls of them in stock.
As far as the electrical connections, I have a couple tackle boxes stocked with a variety of different kinds. Bet you could pick up everything you need at a local O'Reillys, NAPA, Autozone...
I'll try to get a couple pictures taken and uploaded tomorrow.
EDIT: My MX3 is the base model, not the RS. Don't think it will make a difference but I figured i'd at least let you know.
I appreciate the help JCS!! Its cool about the delay and I totally understand. Its pretty colder over here too so I won't get to work on my car until it warm up a bit. I rather have nice clear detail picture; instead of, shaky pictures from frost bitten hands Thanks in advance.
