A20A3 Stock Torque

[Cyric_accord]

Ok, maybe I'm just too stupid to find it, but I've spent since 3 using the search to find if anyone posted the stock torque numbers on an A20A3, specifically an 88-89... And I went looking around the net and I got numbers ranging from 109 Lbs/ft @5100 rpms all the way to 169 lbs./ft @4000 rpms.


Now, can anyone tell me a true number, I had always thought it was 122 lbs/ft torque, but i may be wrong after finding all these other numbers.

they are both right. Jareds site lists torque at 122ft lbs And Pauls lists it at 169 Nm. 169Nm=124.64800323169999 ft lbs

ok, I figure that was right... i just got thrown off by the one site that told me 109

Here's all of them, just to clarify... straight from my brain of genuisness :tongue:

86-89 A20A1 (carb) - 98 hp, 109 ft. lbs
86-87 A20A3 (EFI) - 110 hp, 114 ft. lbs
88-89 A20A3 (EFI) - 120 hp (@5800), 122 ft. lbs (@ 4000)

Okay explain this one to me! my engine is an A20A3 and Mines carbed... Hows that possible when your list says mines an A20A1??? Mines jspec does that make a diff?

What about the BS and BT motors?
Hehe, my engine code is BS

:D What they don't tell you is that the specs for the A20A1 (carbed) is when the carb is tuned way down for emmissions... Everyone that knows how to tweak a carb can pull way more then 120hp out of the stock carb.

I'm not all knowing but I can read, and my Chilton says a little different.

There is no A20A1 or A20A3 listed for '86
87-88 A20A3 (EFI) - 110 hp, 114 ft. lbs
(per Chilton #30150 pg.3-10)

Aside from that your both the same. I'm not trying to flame or any thing just thought I would throw that out there.:smokin:

Well Chiltons is both right and wrong. Then don't list '86 as having A20A1 or A20A3 cuz they didn't exist yet. '86 used different serial numbering from '87-89, and they were referred to as BT (EFI) and BS (carb). They were exactly the same engines, just different serial numbering ('86 BS was exactly the same as 87-89 A20A1, and '86 BT was exactly the same as 87 A20A3). I posted A20 for 86 as well for one because I didn't feel like making seperate lines just for 86 when it's the exact same specs, and A20A1/3 is a more common designation between carb and EFI.

Now what you posted above is incorrect in a way. '86-87 BT/A20A3 had 110hp, 114 ft. lbs. 88-89 A20A3 had 120hp, 122 ft. lbs. All 86-89 BS/A20A1 had 98hp, 109 ft. lbs

Trust me on this, I know I'm right :)

You may be right, I'm not going to get in to a debate over you vs. the book. I have seen the shop books be wrong before. I just thought I would throw this out there and see where it went. Besides, dose it really matter, where only talking about a couple of 15 year old ponys anyway.:smokin:
