rl engine specs

[TXRLU]

Sheesh, as many threads as I've seen about this, I should've scanned this a LONG time ago. This is DIRECTLY from the owner's manual by the way. At least the 04 owner's manual, not sure if the 05 is any different.

the '05 is the same

This was in the Honda B-series VTEC engines starting as far back as '93. Just in case you thought it was new.

A lot of forged parts, that's cool. The motor can take a beating, but GM needs to make it easier to get it there.

Is that compression ratio right? If so that's nice. What is it for the 2.2?

So in theory shouldn't the 2.0L be like, much less than the 2.2 if the 2.4 is much higher than the 2.2?...sorry if that confuses anyone and if its a stupid question, but I am still learning here, please be patient with me...lol.

2.0 has 205 hp, because its supercharged. they use the supercharger on the two litre because its the best candidate. the 2.2 is the base. 2.4 is the higher trim level but just under the 2.0 for those who dont want a redline.

I think it's kinda strange. 3 years ago we were all excited about how the cars were being built from the factory, and finally this year, we're getting excited about the availability of some reasonable aftermarket options.

Any info on how GM was involved with Quaife's 6 speed conversion?

Any chance of a new Fiero coming to the states?

Any possibility of letting us know how much better the LNF rods are compared to the LSJ's ?

Can't believe you're here!!
