Moving on up.
 

Well guys, I have good news for myslef...lol

I just bought a 1.8l engine from Tripoint Engineering.:D 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:D :D (I'm even more happy about this) :shift:

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!:cool:

yeh, I can't wait...

If I do get another car this summer, my pro is going to be all show. I just want a chrome engine:D

eh, do you need a new ECU for the 1.8???

YEH!! I've been looking for one. Do you have one?

Don't tease me Hank. I'm very vulnerable...lol

sorry no ECU here.....

EERRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

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?

If I'm not mistaken, I heard the 1.8 is destroked compared to the 2.0.

Looks distributorless to me. But it does not have coil on wire like my 2.0L has. I would hope anyone who has bought a car in the last decade didn't get stuck with a distributor.

Both the FP-DE and the FS-ZE use a distributor-less coil pack ignition system.

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