2L 16v engine work ok with (base) CIS?



Keep in mind - the ABA is only 10:1 whereas the PL is 10.5 and the 9A 10.8...

Another thing to note is that I'm pretty sure 16v knock boxes are different 
part #'s than their 8v counterparts. Not sure how that impacts your situation, 
but something to keep in mind...

G/L w/ it - JT
