also, ebay is your friend...

Just find a good machine/engine shop to do the bore & stroke for ya. Also porting and polishing the head gives a really good increase. All of this starts adding up so be prepared to drop a chunk of change on this set up.

i still see stroaking this engine to 2.0 is a good thing to do.

Yes the ud pulley works w/ the 1.8.

I dont think stroaking the 1.8 to 2.0 is worth it as they make nearly the exact same hp #s

I doubt any of that is worth it... port and polish will give very very little gains on an stock engine (even with intake/exhaust) and it costs alot of money.
