For 1Gs, there are several differences between manual and auto cars of the same year, aside from (duh) the transmission.
Auto 1G cars have
- smaller turbochargers
- smaller injectors (390cc)
- a 'power/economy' switch located next to the shift lever
- ECUs designed for the smaller injectors
- cams designed to produce more low-end torque [1G only]
Manual 1G cars have:
- bigger turbochargers
- larger injectors (450cc)
- a nifty little coin holder next to the shift lever, a fave place to put electronic widgets of one sort or another.
- ECUs designed for the larger injectors
- ECUs designed to produce less low-end torque [1G only]
2G owners rejoice, as their auto and manual cars have identical engines - assuming, of course, you are comparing apples to apples. Aside from the presence/absence of the 'power/economy' switch, there are no other obvious differences. There still may be additional differences for both 1G and 2G cars.
