i have a SOHC 1994 sl series base model saturn. no power anything not even steering. i love it except i can't find a damn cold air intake for SOHC engine. anyways my questions are:
1: do you know where i could find a cold air intake for my car
2: how hard and expensive would it be to convert to DOHC
3: what about an engine swap? i have heard that switching from SOHC to DOHC can be really hard. what engine do you suggest (include estimate price value of engine)?
note: car has absolutely not added parts to her except the tune up i did this afternoon. platinum spark plugs, 4 new high quality igition wires, high quality oil filter and synthetic oil.
thanks in advance

the DOHC swap is the way to go. There was once a warm air intake available for the TBI, no cold air intakes, but even the warm air isn't really around anymore, you'd have to make your own. It's not really worth it, though - save for the DOHC swap.

A cold air intake isn't hard to build yourself. Pep Boys even sells tubing, bends, sensor adaptors, and PCV attachments so that everything works with the CAI.
That in mind, there isn't much potential you can unlock from the SOHC TBI. Gains from a CAI are based on the restrictiveness of the factory air intake, and the abilities the engine already has.
