HP Ratings ng Local Cars...

[theveed]

Nagtataka lang ako.

160hp yung 2.4L na CRV sa US, baket dito 2.0 lang 160 na ang claim?

150HP yung 2.0

theveed... IMO, stricter emmissions control in the USA. like the RX-8 too, it was detuned slightly to comply.

another one... Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8... sa ibang SEA countries 135hp lang ang output... dito 145hp. though to note that the same engine can be tuned up to 190hp (for use in the Lotus Exige). nakapagtataka lang na dito lang sa pinas 145hp ang rating nya.

Local honda never did claim that the 2.0 was 160hp

yung Galant VR na 6A12 engine dati, sabi sa brochures nila 160hp daw. pero dun sa manual, 110kW lang which is equivalent to 147hp lang!

Philippine automotive DOES really exaggerate the horsepower ratings of their cars. Most of the small cars here (i.e. corolla) never had a 1.6 engine here in the US but their HP rating is the same as the 1.6 (vs 1.8 in the US)...i think the Phil automotive assemblers is taking advantage coz nobody from the Phil government has the ability (or law) to check this if they are really accurate.

interesting topic though... kung yung sa cr-v hindi controversial i think aside from the dubious philippine market only na 145Hp Altis and rav4 meron din for Honda and the Last Lancer before the cedia.

The current ES Civic is 1.6L with a claim of 130Hp and in other markets it's 1.7L with also 130Hp.

Local ES civics are also advertised using vtec3 engines while in other markets wala vtec3 sa ES.



As for the lancer befere the cedia naging 124hp yung 4g92 pero same engine sa old itlog lancer yata yun with around 110hp.

Kasalanan ng Honda yan with the 160Hp SiR the competitors may inadvertently tried to bloat the Hp figures sionce wala naman magrereklamo. Even the SiR and the EK VTI has its share of controversial Hp figures.

Yung Local SiR i read that the ECU is not the same with the JDM or USDM spec 160hp b16A kaya when the local SiR was subjected to autoplus dyno it only netted around 120whp sa ibang markets pag na dyno yung b16A nila dun its around 140 whp.


As for the EK VTi there wss this topic posted a long time ago sa kotse that it only had 90hp when whp when it was also dynoed at autoplus. The local EK VTI head isnt the same with the USDM D16 VTEC with extra wild cams. Yung local VTI has hte same head with the USDM Civic HX with the VTEC-E engine with lower Hp output than the stated 127Hp.

I think this all started mga 93, when nagkaHP war mga 1.6L cars (AE101, B12 ba ECCS?, Lancer and EG na Civic)

Sobrang labo ng mga ratings dito if you read other asian and int'l mags, bloated lagi HP and torque despite smaller engines.

meron pako nung local brochure dito nung rayban galant it says 150hp *6750 rpm (110kw)
tapos yung Galant supersaloon nasa 137hp *6000 rpm (101kw)
