[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 718486, member: 6317"] So at this point what's left? I need to relocate the steering orbital because it interfered with the water outlet on this motor. I need to relocate the PSC steering reservoir to the passenger side since the pump is now on that side. That also means I've got to redo the hydraulic lines too. I've ordered a new radiator and inline filler since the 3 row Civic radiator I was running won't fit either. I've also got to redo the front upper link mounts at the axle to space them out so they'll clear the oil pan at full bump. Finally...finish wiring. I've been asked a few times why I chose to make the swap. Here's my thought process. This motor is rated at just north of 130hp and my 1.6 8v was rated at 80hp or so when it was new then add the turbo pushing 7psi. Guesstimation leaves me with an estimated 120hp at full boost on a really good day. The problem is that all that power is only available at full boost...which I'm rarely hitting. So really and truly I was relying on the base 80hp most of the time. The 2.0 should be a pretty noticeable improvement in just about every aspect and it's only 40lbs heavier than the stock 1.6 8v. It's also quite a bit lighter and smaller than a 2rz/3rz for comparison. [/QUOTE]
