Yup!!! you will need a stand alone ecu anyway!! is not worth it!! I'm in the proccess to get another FS-DE 2.0 that I'm going to re-build! from top to bottom!!!

people talk about the 1.8L making up for the HP loss with more boost, but the 1.8L puts out 122BHP compared to the 2.0L's 130BHP, that's really not anything noticable anyway imo.

I heard that the 1.8L DOHC is a little more nervous than the 2.0 dohc, like they underestimated the 1.8L hp's and overestimated the 2.0L hp's. I used to have a 1990 1.8L SOHC protege and I found it to be pretty nervous indeed, even for a single cam

Yup the 1.8 revs faster and has a higher red line than the 2.0!
