    older engines have less power for the same displacement.

    Example: 80s 2.0L engine would have 110hp. That is compared to 90s 2.0L which are mostly rated at 140hp.

    That would result in needing to rev the engine harder to get the same "feeling" of power from the old school car.

    ahh pero kasi sentra ko is a 1.4l sentra na b14 at hindi naman ako naiilang masyado pero sa hatawan wala talaga kwenta (around 88hp i think?) unlike ung ford escort ko eh 130hp na 1.6l so sa tingin ko hindi ata ganun eh? pati mas madali ako makaovertake gamit yung kotse na yun. pero sa tingin niyo posble na dahil ung low end torque at horsepower eh mababa compared sa sentra? anu po sa tingin niyo? me mga ipapayo ba kayo na pwede ko gawin?

    It also could be the HP and Torque curve of the engine in your escort is very peaky. So at low to mid level RPMs, there isn't much power. You'll need to rev it up to mid to high RPMs to get it really going. Similar to Honda SiR engines where most of the power is to be found between 6000 to 8000 rpm.

    to be 100% certain, a baseline dyno run would be needed.

    My guess is the distributor advance unit (the mechanism that advances or retards the timing) is faulty.

    Base line dyno pull would be in the P3K range. useful if you plan to do further tuning for added power. You can also see if an adjustment or mod has added more power and which part of the power curve.
