Sounds like an interesting experiment for my car at some stage! Your car would have had the SR16DE 16-valve engine with specially designed flow to get the fuel-air-mixture to 'swirl' to improve low end torque (it works really well). Mine is a CA20e 8-valve engine, so may do well with something like this (kind of like hydrogen boosters, in a way).
