But I did not sucker into a type S, I would not spend the extra money for an engine I was going to build anyways.
and your forgetting the 1.6L that nissan had which put out 170+ hp .. but still had the tq of a honda.
omnis are fun though , oddly there is one at a junkyard right now in brandon. I prefer them over the 80's chargers any day.
The 2.2/2.5 Dodge turbo motors are great. I worked with a guy who bought a very clean n. omni and a rusted up GLH. He swapped the motor, brakes and suspension from the GLH into the good car. Ran 3 inch exhaust, ported the head, intercooler, etc. He ended up selling it before it was full broken in, so he never actually got to time it.
