Realistically, i think 150hp/140tq would be pretty good. That way, the civic could be stronger, still (hopefully) get good gas mileage, but not stronger than the I4 accord.

i'd be happy with 180 through the wheels, while maintaining same fuel economy. Hey what do we get through the wheels stock? im told 138, but that's only two less from the engine... is that correct?

wow really? that would sound right if it's true... 20 less than engine sounds right! 160hp engine? is that right? DUDE you wouldn't happen to have documentation of the sort or anykind of evidence would ya? it'd be really cool if you did...

Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net, Rev 8/04)

140 @ 6300


Torque (lb.-ft. @ rpm)

128 @ 4300
