what made the gen1 1.8 so peppy?

just a curious question i owned a 90 laser (stick) with the 1.8, and i have driven the 2.0s and the 2.0 turbo's and i do believe the 1.8 is faster then the just 2.0. but why? i know the 2.0 didnt make the power to weight that mitsubishi wanted (thus the addition of the turbo), but how in gods name was i able to burn the tires in the fisrt 3 gears (well some of 3rd if i dint hit it right it would wind down) on less the 2 liters of pop?
