only parts you should convert from the 1.8 to the 2.0
for NA
pistons will gain you a 11.0:1 compression
cam is slightly more aggressive on the 1.8
now if you do a 1.8 piston/rod combo and install it into the 2.0 youll have about 7.8:1 compression then you can boost the hell out of it and forget any plans for NA
NA 4 cylinders arent worth the headache
BUT if i was going to do a NA setup for decently cheap i would:
regrind cams to somethin like 272 duration
1.8 pistons on 2.0 rods
shave head down a few mils and get 12:1 compression
p&p the head, go larger on valves and get the quelch area cleaned up
tubular IM with a nice sized TB
header and exhaust
