I was just wondering out of curiousity which of the two (carb/efi) has a larger power output. I'm sure it's on the net somewhere, but god knows I'm too lazy to actually look for myself! Anyone know???

if there stock its the injected versions. and i would have to say injected could create more power overall if the cars had the exact same setup. and they would be more fuel effecient. correct me if im wrong

stock carb engine 98hp at the flywheel. EFi 110-122hp depends on year.

Ok this might be a stupid question, but do your cars have catalytic converters??
Because we don't and I thought that my carbed 2.0 would have a littlebit 100bhp as standard.. It's an a20a2. Or at least that's what I remember.

Yeah!
But I don't have flip ups... Got the European model. I have only seen one sedan with flip ups here and it was imported from Saudi Arabia or something.
We also unfortunately have a lots of 1.6 liter 3g's...

1.6? Aren't all 3G's 2.0? What type of engine in those 1.6's?

The 1.6 liter is the A16A1 engine - nearly all 3rd gens in Pakistan are 1.6 - its real simple engine with only 6 vacuum pipes branching off a multi piece from the manifold.

We have some flip lights but people dont like them here - looks funny in the night..

I'll post some pics of my accord later - its got the 1.6 liter A16A1 and its got fixed headlights.
