I got into imports around 4 years ago, when I was 15, becasue I liked the looks of the cars..so when I bought my current car, 92 mx3 4cyl, I wasnt aware that I wasnt getting a slow piece of poo...Now I want more power but have no money..Im thinking with a little money I could get a 92-95 2dr coupe and work with that...what is the highest boost teh stock engine could take? what would be a good price on a decent engine swap? the less i have to deal with the better, as far as changeing axles and stuff...If I can turbo the stok motor, and use it as a daily driver that owuld be great...im looking for around 210hp, or anyhwere near there, so any ocmments are welcome...

Ive been one of those people who ripped on hondas, cause my mx is diffrent, however being in college i need somthing with tried and true parts and support, somthing the mx3 community doesnt have...unless you have the cash to swap a jspec klze and do some major mods you cant really do crap so....just wanted to type for forgiveness hehe

Welcome to HONDA-TECH!
IMO... sell your MX for around $3500-$4000 depending on its condition of course. get a 92-95 ($2100-$4000)DX coupe(since you prefer the couper over the hatch) and get a B18C1 motor swap($3300). Everything bolts up and plugs in. you do have to add 4 wires(VTEC, knock-sensor, o2 sensor). if you want 210hp, then you can turbo the motor or build it for all motor(higher C/R pistons, cams, head work, type-r tranny).
210hp isn't cheap.
