Horsepower question

[miamidolphins187]

I have an 88 dx coupe. How much horsepower does it have?

[shepherd79]

A whopping 98hp at the flywheel. about 80-85hp at the wheels, depends on the error margin you use. I think it is 15% error margin for honda.

[krott5333]

umm... error margin?

umm.. so you mean like, loss of power through the drivetrain?

[88' Accord Ltd]

Yeah, thats where the losses come in.

actually.. i think the 88-89 carb models have about 110 or so don't they??

86-89 carb 98 hp
86-87 FI 110 hp
88-89 FI 120 hp (122 ft-lbs)

Yea that is a lot of power. 98! It is more then I have right now.

[miamidolphins187]

so does my 88 dx have 110hp?

I am going to do the carb to FI swap. According to the above posts, the 88-89 models get 10 more horsepower then the 86-87 models. Why? And if i do the conversition, should i get an EFI engine out of a 88-89 accord or does it matter?
