Tune up...

Strip out interior...

Lose weight yourself.

ok, 92 si hatch...

Best bet is weight reduction... you have a fat little car there (well.. so do I )

Take out P/S, A/C, cruise, carpet, sound deadening, moon roof (weld on sheet metal), take out seats, spare, jack, get rid of sound deadening in wheel well, take out the heater core, bumper supports (I personally wouldn't do it), clean out your car.

^ all of that would be the best bang for the buck seeing how it is free.

other than that, save your $$$ and get a different engine.

cheap hp does not exist......save your $$$$ and plan on what you want yoru car to be...a nice peppy daily driver or a stripped out tin can race car.....

Tune up is the best hp you'll ever find... improves fuel economy too... get a new O2 sensor while you are at it. Revamp your cooling system.

You could try replacing your air filter with a K&N. I've heard, repeat heard, that it can give you 3-5 whp on a d block. One of those gaudy Cold Air Intakes painted in whatever flavour of rice you prefer gives you slightly more but for more money.

giggle gas..if u want quick hp....or just set up a dirty turbo for like 1000$ doesn'y hae to be pretty just has to work...u can easily do it for a grand ...scrap yard and so on...
and even if u blow up ur si its liek 300$ for a new one...so no biggy

funny how a junk yard turbo set up is worth many times the cost of the actual motor.... the key is finding a solid turbo with no shaft play

What type of budget? Low bucks? If you're not mechanically inclined, then you're into spending $$$ whatever it is.

Look into getting the head ported and polished. Then port match the stock exhaust manifold and run a 2" exhaust with high flow cat. Any larger than 2" and you lose torque - which moves you down the road - which is the point anyways..

Peace..
