So I have an 89' Mr2 non supercharged and i want more power. What can I do to get more power? Im debating on switching engines, but i dont know, any suggestion?

How much more power? What are your plans for the car? Daily driver, weekend plaything, track/strip car?

I'm not very knowlegable on MKIs, but if it's like the MKII, there's not a whole lot to get out of the n/a motor. I do know the 4A likes to rev though. Easiest swap would most likely be 4A-GZE, but the 3S-GTE swap (MKII turbo motor) is fairly common and super fun, albeit more expensive and complicated than the GZE.

Its a daily driver but i want more power and i heard the 3sge engine puts out 200hsp so that sounds perfect cause the 4age engine only puts out 112hsp
