some interesting numbers i found in my chiltons

[lostforawhile]

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.

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.
