I assume i didnt like it because im used to turbo cars and the big mid-range torque they produce.
Turbocharged b16/b18s look like fun though.
Alot more torque than standard (still a small amount compared to a yb/zetec but it dosent matter because your revving higher)
I would definetly use one aslong as it was turbo`d.
Is there lack of torque soley down to there rod ratio? or do they exhaust and inlet manifolds have an effect.
What lack of torque are you on about exactly?
F20C in a 2.0 S2000 makes 153lbft of torque.
Zetec IIRC makes 137lbft of torque.
So in what way does it lack torque compared to a Zetec?
