Moving on up.
Well guys, I have good news for myslef...lol
I just bought a 1.8l engine from Tripoint Engineering.
It should be here in about a month.
NO MORE POS 1.6l
I am also getting a new transmission. Most likely the G series from the 2.0l, which means
NO MORE AUTO (I'm even more happy about this) 
I can't wait to get out of school for summer so I can start working overtime at both of my jobs. *Cha Ching* Where's that "got money" pic TheMan?lol
I know I said I was going to be the ginea pig for the 1.5 S-VT head, but this deal was good. So I'm not doing that anymore, unless I have a lot of extra cash. My 1.6 is going to my friend with a 1.5l 2nd gen. He's just as happy as me...lol(We may try the head swap, and if he decides to do it, I'll let you all know)
I'm so happy about this. I can't wait. Now let the performance mods begin.
BTW, since the engine is already out, I'm going to chrome out anything that I can. BLING BLING!

The 1.8 looks very much the 2.0, except it uses a distributor instead of a coilpack. The 2.0 FS-ZE I think uses a distributor too, at least that's what I saw on corksport.com.
How was the engine displacement enlarged on the FS-DE? Is it an enlarged version of the FP-DE?

The FS-DE get it's larger displacement from the 7mm longer stroke it has over the FP-DE. The bore is the same.
