Iceland The First Country To Try Abandoning Gasoline 3605Mike, here: This graph from the Mbuttachusetts Insbreastute of Technology *might* teach you something. I emphasize "might" because you have shown yourself remarkably resistant to reality. The graph comes from this page: Note that...
"The 2.2 is one of the most reliable four-cylinder engines ever made, and in all its forms, from under 84 hp to 224 hp, was a long-lasting sturdy piece of equipment (if you were willing to pay for the occbuttional head gasket)".
The first 2.2 was brought out in 1981 ran a staged two-barrel carburetor and produced as I said "84 hp". The engine you refer to, the 1985 model year engine on carburetors went to 96 hp, the fuel injected versions of this same engine were at 99hp with a optional version that made 110 hp
I don't know what you are on about here, an increase of over 50% on 7 pounds boost, even on the 96hp motor, backs me up a 100% that "I'm basing this on a doubling of horsepower, which would take about 15lbs of boost"
As for your statments about the "Standard engine", think again, the 81 engines and the 85 engines are virtually the same with the exception of the A511 "G" casting cylinder head,.030" higher pistons, exhaust manifold and slight differences in carburation, all of which were ditched on the turbo version of the engine because they were running multi-point fuel injection and a lower the compression ratio. And btw the the 1985 turbo I version produced up to 146 hp on 7 pounds boost.
