8 or 16V - settled!
« on: 11 November 2004, 23:20 »
At no point in the rev range does the 8v power or torque exceed that of the 16v

the jury's still out with me on that one!!owned a 91 "j" plate 8v and now have a 91 "j" 16v and for some reason the 8v seems a little bit quicker through the range.

8v will be quicker thru the rev range - they only revs to about 6k - so will seem quicker thru the range

any 16v's that dont pull as well as the 8v are simply knackered.
