Re: JH engine



<< OK, so I lied...one more question.  I was picking up some spark plugs
 today and found out that I have the JH engine.  Reading your guys' 
 posts, it seems in the States the JH is good to have.  Well here it 
 seems to suck.  Looking at the guy's book, it says the JH has 95 PS 
 (close to HP) and the other 1.8 8V's have 112 PS.  The only difference 
 I know of is that mine has the Catalytic converter and the other ones 
 don't.  Can a Kat really 'suck' that much horsepower away?  17 HP?? 
 Jeez.  >>

It might be due to compression.  ???
 
 <<Another thing I noticed has to do with the 16V.  With the Kat, it was
 129 PS (same as US?) and without it was 139 PS.  Hmmm...  >>

Yeah, US is 123 w/ cat, american injection, american exhaust, american intake
cam.  Switch all of them to euro and you'd have @ 140hp.  

I think.
