Intercooled C900 T16?

[2 Wycked]

Evening chaps, just a quick question for you.

A friend of mine has just bought a 1988 900 T16 convertible and I'm slightly baffled by the fitment of an intercooler. As I understand it there's the 155bhp T8, the 160bhp T16 (neither of which have an intercooler) and the intercooled 185bhp T16, however I didn't think they fitted the 185 engine to any of the convertibles...

Am I wrong about the 185 in the convertible, or do some of the 160s have an intercooler?

Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Really? No one?

So, it's a non turbo car and you think there's an intercooler? There's either a turbo and intercooler or could it be an air con rad you're looking at?

A pic may help.

First time I've come across the suggestion that there were no 185bhp dropheads.

No no, it's a 16 valve turbo but there's an intercooler as well.

ok, if its 16v has a turbo and an intercooler its 175 or 185bhp depending on the year. 3 door, 5 door, saloon, convertible no difference all intercooled c900s were FPT.

If on the other hand its 16v and no intercooler its 145bhp and an LPT to a t16s.

EFA as you are posting about an 88 it will be 175bhp

Thought only the Carlssons were 185? Red Top APC?
T16s were 175, including the convertible.
