it is a 1.5L i think, so for the most part it doesn't really have that much potential. You can always get a swap. BTW, is it a HB, 2-door, or 4-door?

well a swap is really your best bet if you want more power. I'm not sure if you can do this because im really not very familiar with these engines, but you could bore it out to 1.6 (or as high as safely possible) and get some high compression pistons.

no, just swap on a VTEC head. the compression will raise up nicely and youll have the power of VTEC. it should give you about 20-30 hp.
