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.

It makes you look dumb, when probably you aren't......
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.
