Yea, especially since they increased the displacement from a 1.3 to a 2.0 litre. And added another intake valve and PGMFI. I'll stack this in the pile of why carbs are not inferior.

Yeah and the 1300 gave up 700 cc as well. Think about the carb engines, there was no increase w/ that extra 700 cc. But there was the clean air act and there were a lot of emmisions requrements passed on the way to 1989. I imagine that alone would make up for the power right there. Not to mention the 1300 had those 4 carbs I imagine that would help a bit w/ it's pep.

[KoNEY]

its still a neat engine, but wonder if its very efficient???

I's a bike engine they beefed up and shoved into a car. I believe they even had a chain drive between the engine and tranny in the early ones.

Carbs are definitely not inferior... I've puzzled many people with mine and it is the original. All it takes is some tuning and you can pull out A LOT of power with a stock carb. All with the twist of a screwdriver. :)
