Hello everyone!!!

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.

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 foud this for my chummé 626 cronos kl V6
but its same principe

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 had to drill in my disty cap in the ZE

The wiring harness is different, so you're going to have to find the different wire diagram and match accordingly.

Tunes still checks, but I haven't seen him post in FOREVER. He still owes us that HEI writeup that he promise he'd write us years ago

Please edit the topic and change it to "I4" or just delete the "V4"....that V4 is driving me nuts.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Thanks for the reply. I'm still looking for the step to the procedure and wiring diagram through Google.

LOL Sorry about the title "V4" but how do I edit the title to the topic? Thanks Guys

In the first post you made, right beside where it says "quote", there will be a button called "Edit"

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.

That would be great !!! Also, where did you get your items? Thanks in advance

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.

It snowed today so I wasn't able to get pictures.

I swear I haven't forgotten! The weather has just been a little...inclement. As soon as the weather permits i'll get the pictures for you.

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.
