1.6 to 1.8 swap
Hi all, I will soon do a 1.8 Turbo motor swap and convert to a standalone ECU on my 1993 1.6. So far here is what I have bought :
- 1.8 Non-VVT Turbo motor (1994) (CX Turbo Kit) (All needed 1.8 mechanical, electrical, cooling, and exhaust included)
- A couple of 1.8 Manual trans
- 1993 Megasquirt 2 Standalone ECU
Now my biggest questions to the people who know about this swap are:
- What 1.8 electronics and mechanical parts can I keep since I'm going standalone ( Oil pressure sender, Alternator, Coil packs, Throttle body, etc, etc )? I have read a lot on this swap but most posts are talking about keeping 1.6 electronics and mechanical parts because they're keeping stock ECU so there's a little blur on what I can and can't use
- What wiring will I 100% need to extend to work?
- Will I need the FM 1.6 to 1.8 kit?
P.S. I am adding a picture of my notes, let me know if something looks wrong or if I'm missing something. The stuff with "?" around them means I'm unsure. "*" means I'm decently sure.
Right now that's all I can think of but if I think of something else I will add it under, Chow!

Is this a NB1 engine? I ask because you mentioned VICS. If so, you'll need the NB1 fuel rail as well, with an upside down NA FPR replacing the stock pulse damper. Also choke down the $300 and do a Supermiata reroute at the same time.
