Hello, after the question of the best 16V engine of all time has arisen in the Calibra forum, I would like to start a thread. The C20XE is always called one of the best 16V engines in the 2-litre class. I had a long time such an engine (with considerably more than 150hp) and was really enthusiastic. However, there are certainly other manufacturers that have put the good aggregates on their feet. For example, I think of the S14 engine (built in the E30) M3 and E30 320is). I would particularly like to address the 2.0 version of the 320is (192hp) because it has the same engine capacity as the C20XE. The 320is is even better from the basic data (specific power, specific torque, medium pressure) than the C20XE. However, the C20XE is at the forefront of the specific efficiency. One should perhaps also say that the engine of the 320is is quite at its development limit (single throttle is already standard). Here is a link to the test report of the 320is. I ask for a factual discussion without polemics and regular table holds ciao
