im pretty sure it will since alot of ppl have used the 1.8L VC on the msp so you can run the 1.8L coilpack setup.
Right now i have a 1.8L VC on my car. Not sure what year or model it came from, but as long as the VC has the cam sensor it will work on the MSP.
So if the 1.8L motor you have has a uses a cam sensor then ya it will work, but..... your going to run into issues with spark plugs wires and coilpacks
the 1.8L VC is completely flat on top since the spark plug boots sit flush on top of the VC, but on MSP they kind of snap in and around each hole on the msp VC there is a lip that the spark plugs boots go over, plus the MSP coilpack setup mounts to the VC. So you would have to either grind down those lips or some how make the MSP coilpack setup work on that 1.8L
Hopefully that makes sense and wont confuse you haha.
