Trev Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm only seeing 16 valves :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 i then picked up Jord's 20v from here, and as it had the std body, ie no twinky grill or tailgate, I ripped them off the one above, and put them on the 20V car pictured below, as i got her, pretty much the 2 together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 What are your thoughts on comparing the 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 pretty much ripped everything out of both cars interiors, vaccuumed the sand out of both, and slowly put them back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 What are your thoughts on comparing the 2? i am new to them mate, and kick myself for not 'discovering' these earlier...! i used to work with Tony Dove at TunzaGames and used to LOL at him when he raced down the street, shoulda went for a spin and it would have converted me then and there.. now to compare them, from my point of view, the 16V seems just slightly more responsive, i assume its due to the TVIS among other things i don't understand. it seemed to rev limit at 7800 RPM the 20V however, seems only slightly less responsive, but revs happily to 8300ish RPM(going by the in dash tacho anyway). but i do love how the 20V seems to pull harder at the higher end of the rev range I'm sure you guys who are in the know, can explain the science better than me. would love some input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly as I have seen it too mate, the 16v feels like a better engine than a 20v but then you get the excuse 'ah it because the conversion was done wrong' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) i have since passed the 16V off to a good mate, who keep improving on what i started. As i didnt want to strip it and use it purely for a parts car he may or may not start a rides thread. as for the 20V, as you can see from the above pics, it sits a tad high, so i ordered Kings super low rear springs also booked her in to Muffler Kings, to get a Hi Flow Cat, and 2 1/4" exhaust, 3" dumper, on Thursday give the legends a call on 04324990 more pics tomorrow Edited July 28, 2018 by nerfbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
