Yeah, the 20v is a fun 1.6L engine. It may not be as powerful as a 3sgte, but it's a good improvement over the 7afe IMO. Also, 2.5k (not including the engine) is suggested to be put on the side. This will go to such expenses as buying needed parts that you may need to make the swap a success ie: paseo t. cable, new hoses, etc. Also keep in mind that if you want to keep your a/c and power steering, you will need to have a shop fabricate new lines using the existing hoses and fittings coming off of the new engine. Like everyone else have mentioned, the wiring harness will need to made into a conversion, and the man to do it is Dr. Tweak. He did my harness and it's worth it The exhaust will also need to be welded and mated up to the existing setup or redone from the engine to the rear, whichever you prefer.
