16v

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

the 8v and 16v engine are quite different, you need to remove the 8v and
install a 16v (including the wires for the FI)
but why convert to a 16v when you can just drop the 1.8L bottom, swap it for
a 3A block and have a 2L engine that will produce as much or more HP than a
16v 1.8L stock does. and you have no  worries about the 16v timing belt
breaking and destroying your head. :)

=>How difficult would it be to turn my 8v engine into a 16v?  Could I just
=>slap on another head?  I doubt its that easy (intake, exhaust,
=>wiring) but
=>I'm not sure what all is involved.  I would like to do some modifications
=>for as little as possibe (wouldnt everyone) and I figure there is
=>more I can
=>do with a 16v engine.  I will be getting a racing cam for my 8v soon (not
=>sure of the specs) but I was wondering if the swap would be worth
=>it.  Also,
=>I was considering turbocharging my car, but that is once I get a little
=>money.  Anyone who can point out some pros and cons, or just give me any
=>info on the subject, please help!  Thanks for your time,
=>Bryson
