Although everytime I tried to piece together a low budget SOHC turbo setup I end up in the 3K range lol.....I am a sucker for details and quality parts lol

If you swap -- build a G23 VTEC and go H2B with an ITR tranny

Shit on some K boys

OP, is the motor Carb'd, EFI? I guess a cam would help, but like you mentioned, a swap would really be best. If you have carbs you can replace the stock ones with webers or mikuni's. Show us a pic of that 1.4 Good luck dude.

For what?? Just wait, keep it slow and enjoy the high MPG's youre getting. Once you get the swap youll be happy you didnt waste money on a 1.4

They made Carb'd EK's outside of the US??
And yes swap it and trash it.

Iam not sure they made a carb'd ek. that's why I asked. About aftermarket carbs on a D series motor? Oh, I sure know.wink wink. Bbbbbwaaaaaahhhhhhh.

Sell the car and buy a VTi cost you less in the long run.Alot of those EJ9s are baddy specced like once the engines in you still have to do the brakes suspension and your probably going to want to have things like recaros etc adds up very quickly and then the hassle of changing the logbooks etc.you would pick up a good EK4 for 2000 pounds

whats an EK doing with a 1.4? to the best of my knowledge they only came with a 1.6

[impreza_GC8]

Dang thats a small motor. You aren't gonna get any noticeable power out of it at all. I'd return it to stock for maximum fuel efficiency and save up for something else.

yeah thanks for the advice..i think im gunna keep it fairly standard till i can afford the swap or a ek9 or vti.been asking around alot and theres not really much to do without boosting it..and yeh over here in the uk its called an ek4 and it has a 1.4 engine there quite alot of models over here with 1.4's
