Picked up a 1.8 dirt cheap to throw in the car until my 2.0 is finished....upon looking at the motor (externally so far), it just dawned on me that it has been rebuilt...or it appears so...the black powdercoated fan housing and black powerdercoated intake tubes/plenum seem to point in that direction.....

also, when looking at the heads from the sparkplug access holes, the heads are amazingly clean........

this weekend I'll be replacing all the pushrod tube seals as well as the case/flywheel seals to play it safe leakage wise.......

now the big question is do I throw my 1.8 L-jet FI on it or "convert" this one to use my extra Megasquirt????

megasquirt so i could learn how to do it to my 1.8

Which way will get you back on the road faster?

If your L-jet is plug and play, then plug and play.

Otherwise I would MS.

it's a toss up to which one would be easier....if you've seen my garage finding all of the L-Jet parts will be "challanging", LOL

actually, from the looks of the new motor, all i need is the dual relay and the AFM which I know i have, I just hope I have the hose that goes from the AFM to the throttle body..that is not an item I'd want to buy........
