yes you have a 127 hp vtec sohc engine. You can swap it for a dohc. b16,b18,h22,k20,b20,there are plenty of them to choose from. It all depends on what you are looking for. More hp and tq. My opinion SOHC TURBO if you are looking for more power. Just dont run more than 6-8lbs of boost or you will blow the engine. Its very expensive to do the DOHC swap, AXLES,SHIFT LINKAGE,TRANNY, ETC.
