'05-'06 i-VTEC HP: Any real change?
I understand that horsepower number are being generated differently
between the two years for this engine, but what I don't know is this: Was there any actual change AT ALL to the engine or the program that tells the engine how to make it's horsepower? Listing as new the "high performance intake and exhaust valve timing" seems like something has in fact changed. I'm also interested that the RPM where peak torque is generated is now down by 500 rpm.

There is also a new method of measuring an engines horsepower that Honda and several other manufacturers have started using. If last years engine was tested using the new method, It's rated output would have been about 3 to 4 horsepower less than the 160 rating. The performance changes to the 2006 engine allow it to make about 10 horsepower more with the torque peak about 500 rpm lower than before the changes. |
