#61452 It depends on your engine code. I'm from the US so I am not aware what came with your trim level. But if It's any of the 1.5 or 1.6 D non VTEC, you could expect 20+ hp by swapping a head from the SI (D16Z6) or the JDM D15B. depending on your ecu, you may have to change that too

#61501 For not much more than a mini-me you could just get a low mileage JDM SOHC motor. Mini-me is never worth it IMO.

I guess if you were going to rebuild the block replacing the pistons etc then a mini-me would make sense.
