It is not 180hp... Sorry... end of dream.

L82
The L82 ("M-code") was an updated, SFI version of the MPFI LH0, produced from 1993 through 1999. It featured a structural oil pan, a stiffer redesigned engine block, and sequential fuel injection. Output for this version was up 20 hp (15 kW), over the previous Gen II LH0, to 160 hp (119 kW) at 5200 rpm and 185 lb·ft (251 N·m) at 4000 rpm. Compression Ratio for the L82 was 9.5:1 and the bore measured 89 mm (3.5 in) while the stroke was 84 mm (3.3 in) giving it a displacement of 191 CID (3,136 cc). This engine is notable for its cooling system issues which may lead to blown head gaskets and cracked heads if the engine is not maintained properly.

Would you PLEASE SPELL CORRECTLY it's so annoying to try and read what your writing.

And what people are trying to tell you is the rareness of that car is non existent. It's a base model 94 with a dealer sticker put on it, it's nothing that was specially designed by GM for it, just a sales method.

Your trying to learn we are trying to teach you... yet you don't want to accept the truth... Can't help you much there.

Ok kool thanx wuldnt the z26 conversion require that fe 7 sway bars and the body kit??? And wheels obviously??? And im on my phone not a computer sorry bout the spell check..

Z26 is not FE7, that would be a GTZ. The typical Z26 swaybar is FE3 which is a 30mm front bar but also a internal bar in the rear axle, and then yes the body kit and rims if you want the full package. On top of that the springs are different than the base model as well. Struts were different but no aftermarket company recognized that so all the replacement struts are valved the same base to Z models.

Thanx everybody i was guna put an indy cowl induction on it and maybe gtu or gtz wheels...wut everyone think???

The Indy's didn't have cowl induction hoods; those are all aftermarket.

It's your car, do what you want with it.

I feel just a TAD more stupid after reading half this stuff, despite all the knowledge that as spewed out from the Beretta experts. Just disappointing, that's all.

I'm still in the market for replacement GTU wheels for my no-longer-a-GTU-because-the-engine-is-too-big-and-never-was-a-race-car GTU . So, I say go for the GTZ wheels. They are non side-specific, so tire rotations are easier to deal with. Besides, with the Z04 body kit (the different front and rear bumper-covers and the side-skirts) used on the Z-26s and GTZs, your car would look more 'correct' with either GTZ or Z-26 rims. When looking for the body-parts to convert your car, also remember to get the different headlight switch, so you have the switch for the fog/driving lights that the GTZs and Z-26s have. You will have to drill several holes along the bottom edges of your doors for the side-skirt mounts, no big deal though. Remember to grab the spoiler from whatever donor car you find if you want the outside to look correct, the same spoiler was used on Indys, GTZs and Z-26s. The seats were also different for the GTZs and Z-26s, the Indys had the same seats with the exception of the "Indy" embroidery and color-matching stripes. Bumper-cover swaps are super easy on these cars because of how they slide off of some of the mounts. Does your car have a tach on the dash? ALL GTZs and Z-26s had the tach option, if you are looking to truly clone one of them.

Any pictures of your car?

Correct spelling is in the forum rules. It's increasingly difficult to read your posts. The nonsense is one thing, but not following the rules of a forum you just joined will get you removed from said forum.

I had been a member so long I almost forgot how bad everyone hazes the new guys. My other forum I get chastised if I tell another member to search before posting. Probably why this is my favorite forum.


Back on topic. This is the first time I have heard of the "THUNDER" sticker. The "SS" one loves to pop up every so often but this one is new to me.

I had a beretta SS!! super slow 4 cylinder 2.2 with AC for extra speed!

Ka-Chiga!! Ka-Chiga!!Thunder!
