the 8v has 60bhp..the 16v has 90bhp...but i know on other engine sizes the 8v has more torque,and has more power at lower revs..but im sure the 16v gotta be alot quicker..iv only driven the 8v tho so not sure lol

example



1.0 12v vs 1.2 8v



1.0 wins with more power.

1.2 16v and 1.4 8v are probs very simular

Me and my m8 have a 1.2 16 valve and a 1.4 8 valve and they are pretty much identical in every respect. But the 1.4 16 valve is a fast engine and with a few minor bits of work can hit 100 hp easily
