Default 1.8\ 2.0 mix match?

Heres what iv been thinking of doing if anyone knows any probs with this would really appreciate the comments ,

2.0
Block, cams, box

1.8 head, aux's, managment (get it re-mapped)

Would this be worth doing? I have both engines to mix and match, any better plans? Thanks guys

There's no real problem with that plan (except that the 1.8 and 2.0 cams are the same), using the 1.8's head will raise the compression very slightly but I don't think it's worth the bother of swapping the head, I'd just use the 2.0 stuff and add the 1.8's injectors so you won't need a remap.

No real benefit from adding the 1.8 stuff to the 2.0 - keep the 2.0 as is IMO. The 2.0's MTX75 box is a stronger unit if your planning on more power down the line.
