Hey m8, aaah where do i start heheh, if you havea carbi, doing an efi conversion would be a good start, but that leads down the dark and expensive tunnel of further mods, and other changes...

The stock 1.5L carbi is pretty much all you are going to get out of it, there are plenty of mods you can put on it but it will only get you so far (which is not alot).

What you should do ppanggoy13 is just pay like 3,000-3,500 and pay a mechanic to put a VR-4 engine in your CC. Its not over the top and its still fast. Or you could go for a MIVEC FTO engine!

yeah i think it will, well VR4 is a 4g63 block so its should all be the same. The only real probs I know you will get is the timing belt cover sitting up too high. You will need to either modify your bonnet or... not sure if Evo 3 one fits a coupe.

Prices ~1500-3500 for just the engine... front cuts ~4000-6000 or so
