So far from what i read the rx7 maf helps the car to get air better.. adds 1-3 hp. Also its real good idea to get one if u r going to turbocharge your car..Thats about all i read..

on proteges with a bp they get 6 hp so i would guess 2 or 3 but at high rpm

It won't do you a bit of good. The 1.6 doesnt breathe enough to take advantage of it.

"If you never turn the motor past 6000 rpm then you'd be wasting your time. The factory flowmeter CFM threshold before limiting HP is about 6000 rpm with the 1.6 motor (the stock engine will flow 178 CFM at 7200 rpm while the meter is rated only at 165CFM). If your 1.6 motor is relatively unmodified (maybe a performance muffler and intake plumbing) but you regularly go past 6000 rpm then putting the RX-7 unit in will produce about a 5 HP gain, you'll probably only notice it after 6000 rpm though."
