    Sell it, and get a 1.6L instead. The 1.3L engines were designed for fuel economy, not power.

    Ditto on this... IMO, adding a air intake and exhaust (headers) won't really do much given this engine is really tuned for economy (and it is a pang-harabas ride). Just make sure it's always tuned-up and you can perhaps advance the ignition timing a bit (with a mix of higher octane fuel) to get better response (just make sure there's no detonation/"tope"). IF you don't have a tachometer, have one installed so you know to what extent you can push the engine harder.

    You can get a 3E (1.5L) swap for about 12 to 15k. Economy size pa rin pero mas malakas sa 1.3 ng konti.

    Tama sila. 1.3 = fuel economy. Actually yung 1.6 economy pa rin, meron lang mga makina na kahit 1.6 eh mataas ang power.

    ummm, ask ko na rin po. di po ba yung tachometer and indication nya is rpm? bakit yung iba cars nakikita ko na maporma may rpm naman pero naglalagay pa rin ng additional tachometer?

    If they are using it for drag racing, baka may shift light yung additional, or basta mas madaling tingnan kasi nasa taas. Otherwise... porma.

    or corolla that old, the engine is no longer fuel efficient, sometimes it consumes more fuel than a newer 1.8 li engine, so it's better to just sell it than upgrading or modifying it

    I have a friend who has 1.3 at gumastos ng 50k for Port and polish, new head, oversize pistons, the works. Lumalabas parang 1.5 lang or 1.6 at mas magastos pa sa gas. about 4 to 1. IMO get a new engine or better yet get a newer version of corolla. Masakit lang sa ulo yan.
