1979-1993 & 94 Conv [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
I've driven, 8v NA & T, 16 NA & T, 2.0 and 2.1's. Right now I'm driving a 2.1 LPT.
Things I would say I like about reg 2.0L 16vT:
fun to pass other cars and the thrill of boost kicking in.
usually has all the options(leather, power, sunroof, and a spoiler)
Watching the boost needle
working and repairing the car
upgrading
Saying the word "turbo".
Things I don't like about re 2.0L 16vt:
Lag
the jerkiness from the primitive timing controls while having a headache and just wishing I could get home.
torque steer issues.
having a timing problem.
getting bad gas.
spending more money on high octane gas when gas prices are at its peak.
Thinking the last owner or owners probably drove the hell out of this car b/c it says "Turbo"
working and repairing the car.
the sound when the turbo spools up and the blow off valve vents, when I have a headache and am just trying to get home.
chances of buying a used turbo and having the turbo blow the oil seals.
Having to change the oil frequently if not using synthetic, but not being able to switch to synthetic, if the car is older due to aged gaskets.
Things I like about the 2.1L:
kinda a newer car compared to other C900's.
Usually has all the options(leather, power everything, sunroof and a spoiler!)
FI and ign computers completely controls timing and Idle.
Smooth timing control.
no lag.
2.1cc's and larger porting
Nice reliable linear power.
Being able to buy a cool looking header and just connecting on a turbo exhaust b/c the 2.1L has a 4 bolt cat.
Not having to buy 93 octane all the time.
having not to change the oil all the time b/c there is no consequence of coking b/c there is no turbo.
knowing that the last owner probably didn't drive the car like hell b/c it didn't say "turbo"
Some would say b/c all the 2.1L have ABS(I'm not a fan though)
Things I don't like about theh 2.1L:
no boost and no boost needle to watch
not being able to say the word "turbo"
cyl head and block issues, due to bad coolant and thinner cylinder walls
Personally, I don't like ABS.
not having as much power in the higher RPM's as the turbo
