    JDM A18 had 110hp, but because you have emissions i would subtract 10-20hp.

    You are correct. Paul's site list torque in neutonmeters (metric) not foot pounds (us standard).

    Wow, so many different engines... I never realised there were so many different types. Thanks for the information, L3G10N!
    I wanna A18A now! Wicked!

    it can't be prelude 84-87 engine because the A20 manifold would never fit the A18 prelude head. So it must be the A18 from accord.
