rodrigo Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 16V's are nice engines. For a 2.0L from the early 90's they have a lot of balls, and rev to 7k like nothing. I fyou can get one in very good shape, it will take a LOT of use/abuse. A 1.8L 16V head and an 020 trans with a bolt kit and 16v pressure plate will help too.
