 I would think that the removal and installation of the ECU and wiring
for the 2.1L is the reason people stay with the 1.9L. It looks a
bit involved but I have removed this, recently, from a Syncro and It
turns out to be very clean and state forward. I was suprized at how
it came out as a seperate wiring harness.

nobody changed the  cooling & fuel injection system along with the motor? I
have a complete 2.1L with fuel injection wiring harness and computer as well
as all the coolant pluming ,hoses, manifold and all the other assorted bits
& pieces. It would make sense to me to swap these as well as the motor and
take advantage of the improvements that came with the switch to the 2.1L
motor.
