some interesting numbers i found in my chiltons

Ok going through my chiltons book, the 73 to 88 honda one, has about every kind of info you could want, found some interesting numbers,which go against a lot of stuff i've heard on here.

86 accord:horsepower 98@5500 rpm
torque:110@3500
compression 9.1.1
86 accord LXI: horsepower 110@5500
torque: 114@4500
compression: 8.1.1

87 accord:horsepower 98@5500
torque: 109@3500
compression:9.1.1
87 accord lxi: horsepower 110@5500
torque: 114@4500 rpm
compression:8.8.1

88 accord : horsepower 98@5500
torque: 109@3500
compression: 9.1.1
88 accord lxi: horsepower: 110@5500
torque: 114@4500
compression: 9.3.1

crazy the lxi had lower compression up until 88, and it's peak torque curve was always at a higher rpm then the carbed car.

now look at the two preludes with the same engine as ours.


86 prelude SI : horsepower: 110@5500
torque: 114@4500
compression: 8.8.1
87 is the same

88 prelude SI :horsepower 110@5500
torque: 114@4500
compression: 9.0.1

now the non SI prelude with the same engine

horsepower: 100@5500 rpm
torque: 107@4000
compression: 9.1.1


I have pages and pages of charts on these engines everything from fuel pressure to oil pressure

So how does the 88 Prelude SI have higher compression than the '87 LX-i, but not get any more HP or torque? Is the displacement less?

And what about the '89s? I thought HP went up to 120 for the '89 LX-i's. You're discriminating and I've half a mind to report you to the proper authorities.

I thought so, too. Let me check all of my books.

:rofl:

None of all the books I have say anything about the horsepower.

this book was published in 88, they hadn't made the 89 yet.
