It will but you will need to do alot of other swapping too. You'll need to change the following:

Motor
Transmission from a fwd 2.0 car unless you want to swap the whole awd drivetrain too.
ECU
Intake manifold
Exhaust manifold
add the Turbo
intake pipe
maf sensor
exhaust
and probably more
 
What about the front motor mount it looks a little different then the one that’s on my 1.8L. i know that the right, left and back motor mounts will work. basically what i need to really know is will the 2.0L motor mount in correctly? Iam not sure if the frame of the car is different the only difference is mine is a 1994 fwd and the one i got is a 1993 AWD turbo.
 
I doubt any of your 1.8 motor mounts would work on the 2.0 motor but i could be wrong. Anyway, it probably would fit, but the car would run like shit without all those other things. And you will not be able to use that 1.8 transmission. with the 2.0 motor.
 
How bad is the 93? Is there anyway to fix the rear or is it junk? If I where you I would look into using the AWD. Swapping the turbo motor into your 1.8 is not that hard. You have everything you need with the two cars. Like mentioned above the only thing you would need is a fwd tranny if you werent going to use the AWD. It all depends on what you want to do. And how much work you want to make for yourself.
 
the rear is pretty bad if i were to switch the awd would it mount up to the frame on my 94 ive looked under both cars and it doesnt seem like its gonna work.

I'll simply tell you that hooking up the rear end is not a bolt up process. There will be LOTS of custom work. And I'll tell you this, it would probably cost you more to swap everything over than to just simply buy another car or to just fix the rear end on the awd.
