Can anyone help me theirs a lot of hills where i live and it takes me like 5 mins at full throttle to get up the hill to my drove way

go big or go home!
In this case: go big to go home.


Little piddly intake exhaust won't do much at all.
You need boost or a bigger engine!

Could i turbo this engine or is a swap easier i'm slightly mechanically inclined but an engine swap is out of my league unless its mostly plug and play??? And thanks

as long as you keep boost around 5 psi your engine should be fine.
Try to locate a shop in your area that does aftermarket modifications and talk to them about your particular vehicle.
More spark (MSD ign Coil), new iridium spark plugs with gap around 30-32. Possible upgraded fuel pump. New tranny fluid with external cooler.
Fuel and ignition timing need to be addressed.
You need something like (see pic).

not a bad post for # 1600!

Thanks! I have basically a sohc version of the miata engine right?? Theirs a channel on YouTube called Mighty Car Mods and they did a video of how to turbo their miata so could i use it?

Heres a link to the page: .3..0l4.1083.4557.0.5256.11.7.0.3.3.0.349.1470.0j4j2j1.7.4609...0.0...1ac.1j5.5.youtube-reduced.VQcLA7_4yTA

None of those videos are working, even after i click on your link.
Different years, cars have different computers. But anything is possible as long as you do not get carried away with an old engine!

Thanks
