93 & 94 mazda mx3
Looking for info on tuning 93 mx-3. I have a 1.6L sohc with 287,000 miles. I'm going to be rebuilding the engine completely and am hoping to get some power out of it. can i do a dohc swap directly or do i need a complete engine and ecu. The engine still runs well other than oil leaks and a little smoke when first started. also considering a rwd swap from a miata or an rx-7. any tuning info would be welcome. Also are their any other mx-3 owners in Western NC on this site?
 
update. I have recently purchased a 94 w/ a dohc engine. It sat in a guys front yard for about 10 years. I drained the gas, put new gas in the tank mixed w/ marvel mystery oil. Removed the plugs and put marvel in the cylinders to make sure they were not seized. Put a battery in it. blew out the cylinders by turning it over. Replaced the plugs, turned it over but could not get it to fire. I then checked and cleaned the distributor cap and rotor button but still no fire. Any suggestions?
