Geos, Toyota converting Chevy owners Options

Wow, I think your wrong. I never thought I'd correct you. The 90-93 Impulses came with 1.8 turbo RS with AWD, and the non turbo 1.8 litter. The turbo was rated at 155 hp, the non was 135. The 90-93 Geo Storm came with the 1.8 non turbo motor, and the 1.6 non turbo. So it was a small turbo. My non turbo was just fine for speed. And the transmision on it was great. Shifted a lot smoother than the Celica and felt like it would take a lot of abuse. Just minor things, but I wouldn't pass up the oppertunity to correct you.

I'm right... ;]

Why is it like that? I swear the engines look exactly the same from the top. I thought there was no way it was the 1.6 turboed. I've even heard of guys mounting the turbo manifold on the non turbo 1.8 to turbo them. Why is that? What's going on with this. Did they use the same head and a smaller block? I never would have guessed it was a 1.6 turbo. I've had it in my head that that was the 1.8 turboed for so long that I'm having trouble believing this.

EDIT: I looked up the years too. I assumed since the Storm was made untill 93 that it's conterpart the Impulse would have been made untill the same year. That's the bad thing about assuming.

I always thought those cars were crap cause they looked like crap and smelled like it too. I never even thought that they had a Toyota engine in em. They look so silly and horrible misconfigured.

You guys know way too much on specs for cars that most of us would care less if they ever existed lol But at the same time, I admire you for your superior mechanical knowledge (versus me)
