No such thing as an 1.8t motor in 1985

1.8L SOHC (85HP) & 1.6L Turbo Diesel (50HP)

I would not be afriad of either. Even if someone stuck a turbo on the 1.8L SOHC and it "doubled" it's output.


...or are you saying he swapped in a late model 1.8t engine???

If the latter then I would be worried. The 1.8t does make very peaky power, but good numbers and the rabbit is a feather weight car as well.
