GET A CAM and then larger throttle body, and then port match the intake manifold to the new throttle body

Ohhh sux... buyers remorse

Yeah, what I suspect you WANT is torque!! and a 1.5L just doesn't cut it. All I can say is... turbocharger, but you need to save a little more money. Run a T25 for quick spool.

Man I feel for ya, I got my swap coming and I chose HP over Torque, hopefully I won't have the second thoughts you did. Double_B suggested I get a b20 (from a CRV) I assume? we'll see how things go. Afterall It's not like I am losing Torque from stock.
