i recently buoght a 1990 dx and i was wondering what can i do to the engine with a budget of $200 dollars? can anyone tell me

 

MPFI.

 

perhaps a multi port swap......

 

None of the above. Replace worn out items ball joints, belts, oil, fluids, brakes, lights, weather stripping, etc. Do maintenance before you start doing any "mods" that is the best advice.

 

i was going to say intake but tune up doesnt sound bad

But since they arn't cutting edge they suck

DPI is like the down sides of EFI and carbs mixed to one.

 

Definintely replace old worn out stuff first. Then swap that bitch.

 

nothings wrong with carbs, well.... eh im not gonna start

I'm a die hard carb guy when it comes to toys.

They just are fun

 

personally i hate carbs..........there to fattening, god bless Atkin! Low Carbs FTMFW!

 

how much hp would i gain if i do the mpfi swap? how does it feel a little difference at all? if not then ill just go with a b18a1 swap maybe that will be a difference any one think

 

I think you'll see at about 10 hp increase. Which aint bad for under 200. You will notice the difference

 

You won't be pleased unless you go v-tec. even if its dual cams. your better off with a 1 cam slam plus itll prob cost less to convert.
