Update on the AWD Pro!
 

For those of you who've been followin' my progress and those who know my car, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'll no longer be goin' FI.

I have found an FS-ZL engine here so I'm gonna swap my 1.5L for the bigger 2.0L!

I don't estimate this swap being anytime soon but I'm gonna pay for the engine tomorrow so I'll have it when I'm ready to do the swap.

Amrit-
I believe [shaking head ruefully] the bigger motor won't yield near the results a turbo would for all the complexitiy/time/labor and money invested.

Please reconsider. I don't think you will be satisifed (like you would with a turbo) when a motor swap is done.

I beg to differ. The engine I'm gettin' came from a sport20, awd, manual.
My car is already awd and manual so everything is a direct bolt on for me.
Plus I've already talked to some ppl concerning this and they agree that the 2.0L is the better way to go.

theres no replacement for displacement

sorry...had to say it...lol

Amrit-
Yours is the only opinion that counts on this one! Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Why not turbo the 2.0L too while you're at it?!

Thanks for the support Da P-Funk!

And KrayzieFox, that's sounds like a really great plan, but I'm not at a financial position to do that. I was considering it though, but I have no dineros to turbo it one time. Wish I did but hey, I'll be workin' soon so who knows!

Pics of your new engine when you get it? =)

No problem Olestra!
