does that have the d15 motor non-vtec, if so im pretty sure you can swap a d16z6 on there and gain an instant 20hp. its called a mini-me swap because you are justswaping the head of the engine out, which is fairly simple. just search "d15 mini-me swap" if thats your motor?it will run you anywhere from $250-$500 depending on how available the parts are to you. its really easy for me, i live near a salvage yard that you can pull stuff yourself and i can get most the parts needed for a mini-me swap for free, just have to pay for the head which runs me about 50 bucks.
there are tons of threads about the mini-me swap, if you cant find the information you need on here just search google.
