how much Hp does a stock gxl have
just curious
|
86-88- 146 HP
89-91- 160 HP |
very good. you beat me too it Bdoty311. oh by the way. those numbers are at the FLYWHEEL.
|
Hmm, strange, my gxl has about 240... Oh, it's that damn evil snail under the hood ;)
|
What changed giving the 89 more horsepower? Thanks. I'm new to second gens but I might be getting an 88 GTU soon.

why does the s5 have such a bigger increase in hp, i kno the intake manifold is different, it is that the rotors are different? plz explain thanx
|
Higher compression rotors, and the VDI intake.
|
So is it worth buying an 88 GTU with 76k miles on it, or should i wait and get an s5?
|
It's definatly worth it. Get any that you can really, they're both good in their own way. If you can get a s5, get it, if you can get a s4, go with that. Either will make you happy
|
Ya the S5s have a different MAF sensor, intake manifold, and have lighter/higher compression rotors. But they are also alittle heavier, so beware....
|
I see, 14 HP is a lot though. That would mean it'd take me an exhaust to get just up to stock for an s5, wouldn't it? Thanks for your help. I'm new to second gens. Oh yeah, and are GTU's good? I haven't learned the differences yet.

GTU is the best s4 NA as far as sport/racewise. It's the lightest with the best features. For a s5, it's the GTUs.

yeah, while peak HP is up 14; peak torque is only up 2 ft/lbs in the 89-91... so that extra HP is not worth very much. |
yeah, peak torque moves from 3500 RPM on a S4 to 4000 RPM on a S5.
|
um...............i think they put a bigger snail in it, maybe!! mine has more then 146 only because of the mods i have..........my bad its not stock, PEACE!!
so why did they move the peak torque to 4000? |
Originally posted by SonicRaT Higher compression rotors, and the VDI intake. Incrementely, this all added up. Conversely, Individually, not all that significant.:) |

how much does the Turbo 2's have?
|
S4= 176 HP
S5= 200 HP Im not positive on these numbers, but they are roughly correct. |
