i just got my hands on a 1993 for real cheep, its pretty zippy and all but its only a 1.6 sohc

is there anything i can do to this car to give it some balls?? im willing to spend close to 2grand on it if it'll beaf it up enough...

im just lookin to get enough power to be able to hold my own in a race against some people i live with in this small town... mainly an early 90's cavalier, mostly stock...

i just need to know what i can do to get some more power i dont wanna shame the mx-3

please tell me your stock mx can beat that cav!
IF its working right, i hope the mx would come out on top, but i never driven the sohc, so im not sure, but sorry i cant answer your question on mods, i just know a little bout tune ups

For 2grand you can probibly strech out a BP-ZET if you are experienced with engine swaps and boosting (i.e. you can do almost all the work yourself). But, if you want to go cheaper just swap the BP-ZE and you can go turbo in the future. This will come out less then 2k if you do the work youself...Do a search, there is more info on engine swaps then anything else on this board.

i lost to a 88 corsica... the guy wouldn't tell me what was in it tho, idk if it was cuz he couldn't speak english or if he didn't wanna tell me, ne ways, i think it was the 2.4(??) V6...
oh.... and i didn't lose THAT bad. lol

or you could always just do a b6t swap, with all the goodies i have ready to go in (FMIC piggyback FC wideband o2), ive only spent around 1800$

this site may help but its rather far from where its at to where u live. anyways here it is www.racingmazda.com laters

If your willing to do that do the bpt, or you could rebuild your engine...Most Sohc engines can hold more boost depending on the cam...But you could port and polish higher comperssion pistons from maybe a civic,custom Job, a new head job and upgraded Rods ,190lph fuel injectors and a 200lph fuel pump, Clutch and flywheel...you'd be set,when I had my 92 rs I was planning on doing these mods, but then I found the 92 GS
