You can add parts, but they won't give you much unless you go turbo.
The 1.6l sucks a$$. I know.

So i was wondering if maybe someone has some good news about the 1.6L and maybe if anyone has done a engine swap with this motor, was it hard to do? was it worht it? and anything think else that would be helpful thank you guys again.

Stick around during summer. I just bought a 1.8l and since I'm changing my transmission, I figured I might as well switch the engine too.
BUT, I'm not trying to make this car fast anymore, just to make it more reasonable and less fustrating to drive around.

Unless you come across a recked MSP, you won't be able to get the actual MSP engine. Can't get it from the dealer either. Plus as small as that turbo is, I think it'll be a big waste of money.

if your that frustrated because your car is so slow, it would make the most sense to sell it and buy something faster.

I dynoed at 77hp
The 1.8l there dynoed at 100hp. Plus a few ppl who have dynoed their 1.8 averaged around 100hp.
So I figure at least 20hp more. Plus since I'm switching my trans., got the engine at a good price, and my friend is doing the swap, I might as well.
