I said that 1.8 is free if you're doing a rebuild.
1.6L rebuild consists of
> remove engine
> take engine apart
> send it off to the machine shop
> buy pistons and rods and oil pump and bearings, refresh head, etc
> put engine together
> put engine back in car, hook up hoses, wires, belts, etc
1.8L swap (within that process) is all of the exact same steps, only you buy a 1.8L motor before you order the pistons. Everything else is 99 percent identical.
Technically that's not free, but compared to the cost of machine work and all the parts (that's like 2k in parts (rods, pistons, oil pump gears, harmonic balancer, etc at least plus 1k in machine shop stuff getting the block ready) it might as well be free. Doing 250+ whp builds is expensive. Oh ****, I forgot- you have to replace the rear end too on a 1.6.
If you're doing a 200 whp build, I would say leave the 1.6L stock and run like 12-15 psi, swap in a torsen, call it a day. But if you're going for something that necessitates a rebuild, you're stupid to not do a 1.8L drivetrain while you're at it.

Are you dumb, just can't read, or where is it you have people handing out 1.8 longblocks for free? 1.8 is NEVER free.
He paid $250 for the 1.6 with rods and pistons, and it needs journals polished and new bearings, that sure is thousands of dollars in machine work and parts there.
Op is on track to have a stock 1.8 block killer 1.6, for less money than a junkyard 1.8 pullout. Less than most people spend on a flat top. I can not find a rebuildable condition 1.8 longblock for less than $200, trust me I've been trying.
You'd have to be ******* retarded to spend another $800-1000 just to rebuild a 1.8. For the money, you'd gain maybe 40ftlbs and 1K rpm in spool.
