apart from the Extra Cam and 8v valves and around 10bhp Not much, Mine didnt even come with PAS or E/W so i fitted PAS myself.
16v: Newer, Quicker, Seems more prones to faults though
8v: slightly slower, but seemingly bulletproof
Prefer SRi's Over Sports as they seem more

Not many 16v Sri's about.
I thought they produced them for 1 year [ 1995 ] then in 1996 they added more features and called it "Sport"

the 16v sri is the same engine as the 1.4 16v sport
the 1.4 8v sri engine is different from the 1.4 16v engine

but ben was talking about the difference between the 16 v and 8v sris, not the sport, then i asked if it was the same engine in the 16v sri as in a sport and was told yes, then you made the comment that a sport is faster. So why not READ the thread before you make remarks like the above 1 and make yourself look stupid

16v sport/sri same thing under the bonnet.
i simply posted saying the sport/16v valve engine is better than the 8v. 
either way they are both shit compared to 1.6 16v
