AG4,

dba USDM 94 Accord has two 2.2Liter variants the LX (130hp) and EX (145hp).

i think the 2.0L only has 126hp.

Many older Asian spec models had less restriction and no catalytic converters.
A 1995 USDM Corolla 1.8 was rate at 105hp, a local spec Corolla Gli 1.6 produced 5 more hp (110hp).

I do recall a review (Inquirer Motoring section) that the "then" new 1994 Accord had around 130hp or something like that, it could be a typo though.

question... does a cat-converters affect power rating at the crank/flywheel?

*theveed: dyno tests put gains in whp at 3-4 hp (from sportcompactcar) from cat removal depending on the car. That equates to maybe 5hp (crank) for a single cat, maybe 8hp for dual.
*AG4: I think the Cefiro A31 had the SOHC KA24, but I'll try to confirm this at DMF this weekend... they still have the stock motor of their SR20DET (200+++hp) drift Cefiro. You CAN swap in an RB, though.

Nice, yan ba yung A31 na nanalo sa drifting competition?

**niky** · May 19th, 2006 10:51 PM

Yup, kala ko RB25DET siya nung una kong nakita ang stock motor na nakatambak... imagine my pleasant surprise nung nakita ko ang SR20 na nakasaksak sa malaki niyang engine bay... anlufet!

LHD A31 Cefiros(including the RP spec models) came with RB24 SOHC inline-6 engine.
I've seen a stock A31 Cefiro with an RB24 2.4 liter inline-6.
The JDM spec models came with DOHC 2.0 and 2.5 liter inline-6 engines.

Here is the RB24 from an RP spec A31 Cefiro.

By the way, Nissan's KA24 is a 2.4 liter inline-4 engine.

Interesting info. Didn't know the RB came in 2.4.

alam ko talaga rb24 ung a31 na yun...is it the same sa local teranno, or ung sa teranno natin is ung early engine ng 240z?

so pwede pala lagyan ng skyline r32 gt-r engine ung local nating a31 cefiro?

It was only available for the export LHD A31 Cefiro, most of the info we see is for the RHD version.

No, the gasoline powered Terrano was powered by a (Z24)2.4 liter 8-valve SOHC inline-4.

The 240Z was powered by a (L24)2.4 liter SOHC 12-valve inline-6, it had a Mercedes derived design.

Technically it should fit because the A31 Cefiro shares its basic platform with the R32 Skyline, I'm just not sure of the modifications needed when installing it into a LHD car.
The R32 GT-R by the way is powered by an RB26DETT engine.
