you can make em quick, don't get me wrong, but for the gains you get out of the 1.8, it's not really worth the hastle unless you plan on going turbo. my suggestion is drop in a 4g64 motor, trans, axles, ECU, upgrade your fuel pump, do some basic bolt ons and call it a day.

you can't find 1.5 parts??? woah wonder where you live, I have a 93 colt with the 1.5 and I have a rash of spare parts from ECU's, Distributors, Cylinder heads and so on and so on.......the 1.5 was used in a few different product lines, so the mechanical parts are pretty interchangeable minus the distributor set up. The Hyunda Excel used the 1.5 mits engine till the end of production in 94 as well as the Hyundai Scoupe,the only ****ty thing is the distributor in both these vehicles are not rear mount at the back end of the camshaft but mounted on the intake side of the head by the timing cover. there are various production date changes for electronics, but there are alot of similar things, I had a 93 mirage with the 1.5 and I swaped it out using a 92 Hyundai Scoupe turbo engine and harness etc, with slight modifications it was a pretty easy swap.

4g and 5g orientations are different though, used completely different chasis. That's why if you're looking to do a swap and get big numbers, the 4g is the way to go, sooooo many more options. but the 5g's look a lot better, and plenty of people have done evo conversions, even seen a few 6a13's dropped into them. Point is, if you've got the enginuity, time and money, anything is possible. Just do your research first.
