You tweak an hf engine by buying an si engine. Save your money for a d16z6

I would not either, the dx engine being dpfi is actually worse. Save the money, I just sold a d16z6 for around $400, I know they can be had for cheaper also.

That all depends on how much you want to spend. If you looking to spend around 500, get a zc, around 1500 get a b16, around 2500 get a b18

You could buy an SI tranny which would give you better acceleration, but really it is a 60hp car not much you can do with it other than swap. Best performance boost though with keeping the engine is the SI tranny.

Tweak HF= Drill holes in Oil pan.

For one to churp wheels in 2nd gear you will need to rev the motor up before engaging in 2nd gear. Doesn't take much effort really. Especially with wet tires.
