are you joking ?? If anything the 1.6L had less problems and is a tougher engine than the 2.0L..The only recall on the 1.6L or TSB was the MAF...MIne has 70,000 and has been FLAWLESS and I beat the hell out of it...The only real swap is the 2.0L..it is soooo not cost effective and will not take as much abuse from boost or N20 as the 1.6L will...also please be more descriptive with thread titles

I dont think he knows the meaning of a rant.
Go look into the off topic section and read up on some of these weirdos 3-4 page rants.

I gotta a 1.6 here and I beat the crap out of it and I have no rants whatsoever 50k miles too, hes prob one of them people that brings his car to jiffy lube for fluid changes and dont know a dime about anything automotive. He said that you would need alternations to the engine space WTF????? I think that you could pretty much interchange any of the three engines if you have the money, and time. Unless you plan on swapping a v8 in there I think the engine space will stay pretty much the same. Sorry about all the flaming but its called for.
