IIRC in my country most of them were still fitted with that 8-valve 2.0L which is basically a crossflow version of the EA827. And exactly due to it being simple, easy and inexpensive to fix and mod it's still one of the most popular engine among drag and street racers in my POS of a country. Instead of a small-block Chevy, the first option of many local street racers is an EA827 with a turbo.
