Do all import 2.2 vtecs come with at least 197bhp

[nickyboy]

Specifically 5th gen non type s etc, just the standard 2.2 vtec

i think so, they use different octane ratings over in japan, i think this is why imports have higher compression. no doubt someone will correct me if im wrong

[macky_6]

JDM-yes

USDM-no

not too sure on the euro models

hope that helps

I believe the compression is down to the pistons, UK 10:1 JAP 10.6:1 and Type S/ATR/H22A8 11:1

You're right about the 100 ron though

edited: because I put a 5 instead of a 6!

actually the JDM spec engines and the uk or eudm spec engines dont feel the same at all.

i test drove uk cars for people here in bradford and they dont want to go in the same way the jdm engines do.
specifically a2 and a5 engine compared to the h22a

the a2 had the aircon pump removed aswell.

and im not just saying that because im selling 1 but the reason i go for jdm spec is because its just faster.

uk spec 10:1 compression
jdm spec 10.6:1 compression

red tops 11:1 compression uk or jdm

same with any import pretty much the jdm is always better
