What you would need to do is completely rebuild the engine to be able to use the 2.4l head. The reasoning for that is the pistons have to be changed to a 16v set if you keep it 2.2l, holes have to be plugged, and then new oil drain and feed lines have to be ran to the head. I am doing the build with a 2.5l and I am just taking my time. It is a very mechanically inclined build, and not for the faint hearted.

But if you want something a little easier, and wiring or engine management being the only thing that has to be worked on, then I would look at a 2.4l swap.

But there are a few threads that are stickies in the 16v conversion area that help show how to build a Hybrid engine.

Here are some links:

I am going to try and redo some of the threads on the hybrid stuff for some of the guy's that never really saw what it was. But on one of the threads, the links are not good anymore.
