I have a Kia Pride, basically same as the Festiva. I wish to make it faster but don't want to spend a lot of money, because the car is not worth it. My 0-60mph is 12s. Recently the engine had a rebuild because it was consuming a lot of oil from cylinder 4. It has a new piston (cyl no: 4), new head gasket also new intake and exhaust gaskets, grinded valves, cleaned the head, new valve oil seals. Other mods are cone filter, ram air from the bumper made of fiberglass like a big funnel to the cone filter. Fuel pressure regulator. Increased 0.25 bar fuel pressure because the stock was 2.85 bar. Now the total pressure is 3.10 bar. Made a difference in performance because before, it was missing after 4000 rpm, New original spark plug wires, Removed the rear muffler & replaced it with a straight pipe. Also the exhaust tubing is 1.38" I think the previous owner reduced the tubing diameter. And an oil catch can. What should be done more to make more power?

engine swap or turbo.

but to go for a turbo needs a lot of parts, I have a td04-09 turbo, a rrfpr (fmu). I need bigger injectors, a control box to reduce ignition timing with boost. i need an intercooler. and most expensive the labour to fit everything.

^ well technically you dont need an intercooler, its just there to increase the efficiency of the turbo.

Find your self a mazda 323 from 1987-1995ish. You can use that motor in the pride.

A catch can really isnt a performance modification.

Yes if you have someone else do it, modifications will cost you. Thats why almost everyone on here does there own work. Its a real simple car to work on if its your first time wrenching.

advance the timing,a good CAI (not a cone on the stock rubber tube) and good free flowing exhaust 1.75-2" diameter,indexed plugs and good wires

I done this on a stock worn out B3 and it really picks it up
