Esteem 1.3 Engine work or SWap?

[dvr911]

i have an complete externally modded esteem,stereo n a free flow. plannin to start engine work ,so i wanted to know what the possibilities are and what exactly my 1.3l engine could do after complete tuning and modification . and should i consider an engine swap with a baleno or vtec or somethin . dont plan on turning it into a drag car,just a street car with good acceleration . . please help !!

well a good porting & polishing job courtesy our in-house pyscho and say a conical filter, you existing free flow and a tune up should give you that mild kick that you need.
if you were yet using the carb version, i would maybe suggest a swap to a baleno engine, even in stock form the car would be so much faster.

Yep.. i totally agree to that... I guess a good head porting and polishing work with polished throttle body and a k&n should do the trick for your car... PM Psycho for this...

hey buddy..ive done esteem's myself..it is a superb car if your lookin for street speed..well the basic mods should bring a noticable change..just drop in a 4" conical filter and a 4x2x1 header (which you already have) upgrade the plugs,ignition wires,msd blaster coil 2,the esteem has a flat spot in the 4th and 5th gear..after such high speeds it tends to just die out in the 4th and 5th..you could use an after market fuel pressure regulator(FSE),high lift camshaft's and a head facing,porting polishing job should get you a beautiful fast ride,also make sure you get strut braces designed for the car..2 for the front upper and lower and one for the back,this gives amazing stability to the car and at high speeds there's very minimum body roll and flex once you have all this sorted you should have a more than fast street car..if you do need any other info please feel free to pm me..cheers..happy revvin...!
