When I first got my protege I was pleased with my gas mileage and my power while on the highway. As time passes I find that I need more power. I was going to sell my car, but it looks like I am going to have to drive the old protege till it dies. I have a custom intake on it, and other than that it is basically stock. What can I do to up my horsepower?

 

Not much, I guess. I think the intake was the only power adding component that you get for 1.5 liter engine. I thinj you also replace your camshafts, and thats about it. You alos can get performance ignition wires, but you will not see any gain, well fractional maybe. They will only make a ride smoother. Good luck.

 

who told you there is not much to do to 2nd gens,, **** look at all that I have done, .. what you can't do the same ...
You can mod this 2nd gen you just have to make your mind up to do it , and get your but out there and find the parts,

So true, people hear that there isn't much for their car and get lazy. I plan on buying a 2nd gen, money situation, and doing bodykit,rims,turbo,etc. There is plenty you can do, just not as much as a Honda.
