Horsepower

"86 87 dx lx = 98hp
86 87 lxi = 112hp?

88 89 dx lx = 98hp
88 89 lxi sei = 120hp

88 89 accord did came with 120hp stock, that was alot of HP back in the days, lol... remember you will lose 15%-20% hp from the engine, tranny, axle then to the wheel."

thats perfectly stated but you forgot the euro B20"insert # here" w/ like 140 but those are pritty rare. this has been argued many times and thats what has come out of it. oh, and don't think that that is what you have now, our cars are at least 14 years old now and given that your prob lucky to have 95-100 at the wheels. go look at actually dyno charts and they will prove all of this. hell, i forget who it is, but someone on here has done a whole shit load of stuff to thier engine and now only have 140 something at the wheels (i forget who you are but i saw your thread w/ the dyno chart actually posted).

[BITESIZE]

Damn, I all I wanted to know is if my car, did in fact, have 120 stock hp.

hey dumb asses... get a fucking repair manual from the honda manufacturers (they run close to $100) and they will tell you that all fuel injected 86-89 accord lxi's came with 120 horses stock (at the crank)...

as for being a newb to your little forum... that means not shit as far as my knowledge of cars goes... and really, a 15.5 as my best quarter mile rating should not be all that amazing, it is possible that I drive better than you or anyone you know...(Jims 86LXI HB)

driving skills account for at least a half second in a quarter mile

by the way... think about this... all (fi) 86-89 lxi's have pretty much the exact same engine... so why would the hp rating be any different?

also... I know I said 119 hp before, I was thinking cubic inches for some reason... but it is still 120 horses!

Watches too much TNN.:lol

Pretty big words for a Newbie!!! Sounds like your a dumbass, you spent $100 for a repair manual, damn I got mine for $15.00.
And as for being on this forum, I'll bet nobody is going to be willing to help your pathetice ass.

[1988starter]

your right what would a little compression different exhaust manifold and intake manifold do to change HP sorry but you over paid for your repair manual and 15.5 no one believes that get your time slip and scan it and no it does not cound if you are counting out loud while accelerating

[BITESIZE]

A 15.5 sounds like some bull shit a brewing. P.S. I owned an 86 lxi and it wasn't as fast as my 89 lxi is. So the horsepower is different, becuase the engine is different. Just becuase the outside is the same, doesn't mean the guts are the same.

Yes they are the same engine; EXCEPT the intake manifold is different between the 86-87 models and the 88-89 models (If I remember right). That is why there is a difference in hp rating.

[BITESIZE]

Yep, you are right, they are different intake manifolds. More power with the newer manifolds because they are dual stage intakes. I think the 86 didn't come that way.

[1988starter]

88 and 89 also have a higher compression some of the vcume lines have been removed different ecu and different exhaust manifold.

[mjimenez]

I own an 86 lx-i and it has 110 hp stock,

[BITESIZE]

There are 3 fewer vaccuum lines from the 89 to 86, which go to the intake.

1. Amazing, your still holding on to the idea your right. As you've been told, only 88-89 LXI & SEI's have 120hp, 86-87 LXI's have 110hp 86-89 DX & LX have 98hp. BTW, members I think he's talking about the Honda shop manuel, not a haynes.

2. I agree with what you say, but whenever someone come's on here acting like they are sooooooo correct when their NOT and they lie and claim they run 15.5 1/4 mile times, they are always,.....always a newb. I can't remember a member that is acting like you are that has more than 100 posts. Lot's of people that are new, have more sense then you, that's my point.

3.:lol That's a good one

4.Hey I'm sorry if you picked the wrong forum to post bs numbers on, that's not my fault. Your super human driving skills are shaving 2 seconds off most people's times,......rigggghhhtttt Don't speak or type a word untill you run your car at Sacramento Raceway in front of another Nor Cal member that has been a member longer than you have. Untill you do that, the BS flag still flies over you. And realize your saying your car is just as fast as a RSX, TSX, BMW 330i, Celica GT-S, and IS300. All of them run around 15.6 in the 1/4. Sorry, you can't run with them.

5.You've allready been corrected on that by other members. I don't understand how you could be so thick headed that you would not do any research when told your wrong. Why wouldn't you lift a finger to do some research, that would have given you a chance to get back some dignity, instead you want to work the fool line. It's not to late for you ya know. Come clean now and stop burning your own bridges.

6. Ok, don't understand why, but all right.

Remember, not a word about your 15.5 claims till you run your car at Sacramento Raceway in front of another Nor Cal member that has been a member longer than you.

[Justin86]

Well how about a big list of mods and maybe I might belive a 15.5sec 1/4mile. Until then BS.

[3rd GEN]

yup.. i know for a fact that the 88-89's are more then the 86-87's..

and yes, they used higher compression pistons, different intake/exhaust manifolds ecu, and a fewothers..
so everyone just drop it and face it..

88-89's had 120, and 86-87's had 110..
thats it..
bottom line...no more argueing!!!!

Dude, I like you!

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

hey dude........ who ran 15.5 or whatever........... is your #6, 7, or even 8 numbers not working on your keyboard? :lol

[BITESIZE]

Sounds logical to me.

[wprocomp]

yeah sometimes I get my horsepower ratings mixed up with how many pistons I have I always wondered how they fit 120 pistons in such a small block...oh well

[A20A1]

Well the nonsense stops here...
