Still, the 1.8 G60 originally has CR something like 8.5. But having a 2.0 with the same CR would require more fuel at the given intake pressure since 2.0 pumps more air through, and keeping the same chip will cause lean mixture. Ok, it will try to compensate by Lambda signal, but will it? With driveability I was thinking the low rpm, easy city driving. This is importand since driving the G60 I find myself going to police department more often. Why? If you go easy on G60 car, it feels too soft and weak, i think of 8.5 CR with negative intake pressure (if we are going slow), and to make it little quicker and responsive, you have to keep more RPM what eventually leads to running faster, then G60 feels alot alot better than going slow. This all is subjective, but it is so. I want a car, which has response even when I drive easy. I was thinking that tranny with 3.9 final could cure this. Anyway, I think the best would be nice built 2.0 16V. The Turbo is something to consider only if it does not affect low end way too much. Anyone driven the new Alfa Romeo 156 with 2.0 DOHC? Its a blast!
