I forgot to mention in my previous post what the horsepower values are for the 3 engines, the B230F, B234F, and B230FT.

B230F aprox. 114 HP (stock 8-valve non-turbo)
B234F aprox. 154 HP (16-valve interference head)
B230FT aprox. 165 HP (turbo charged B230 block, LH Jetronic 2.2 fuel injection, 8-valves, and exhaust valves are Sodium filled to prevent burning)

The 16-valve engine does offer a decent HP gain over the 8-valve, but the maintenance costs are typically higher than a turbo (which would give you an additional 10 HP more). If you happen to be sitting on huge piles of both money and time, you could combine a B230FT block and the 16-valve head (and with a turbo and intercooler feeding it). Read the following webpage for info on this project:
16-Valve Turbo

Then you'd end up with a beast that looks like this:



God bless,
