89' ka vs. 90' ka
 

i've had a chilton manual for a while, and i was reading it tonite and something really wierd caught my eye.

of course they are basically the same engines but the books specifications says the 89 has 135 horse and 144 torque with 9.0:1 compression.....vs. 142 horse and 155 torque with 8.6:1 compression.

i guess you learn something new everyday

more power and torque on lower compression with all else identical? sounds weird to me.

i agree... you sure you read that sh*t right? i have never heard anything like that before

yeah me either

Just for reference they both have the same HP. SEARCH!!!!!
It makes you look dumb, when probably you aren't......

Sigh

Just for reference for now on.....

This is the SAE NET: KA24E, Single Over Head Cam (SOHC), which has 140 @ 5,600 r.p.m., 152 @ 4,400 r.p.m.

KA24DE, Dual Over Head Cams (DOHC), which has 155 @ 5,600 r.p.m., 160 @ 4,400 r.p.m.

This is the site that I had gotten the info from. There aere some typo's, but it is some what accurate.

chilton sucks

so your saying that chilton is wrong, so i guess when it tells me how to fix something with my car, or the cam specifications or my bore and stroke, its all wrong .... damn

Well its okay if thats all you have.

But FSM is the best to have.

never said it was all wrong, some info is good other things not so good, its not nearly as good as an FSM. For smartass points you get 0...you fail, you suck, go cry in a corner, thread done.
