This is to answer past question about the 4cyl engine and it's output before and after break-in, and why I do and do not like it. This look right to other 2.3l owners?

This data is completely made up. It's a best-guess from my "butt dyno".

Dewd, stretch! Don't the wheels leave skid marks on your butt?

He parks the car "between" so it's not visible from the "outside"

Isn't the importent thing is that it's more powerful in the "middle of the curve - where you are most of the time.

To most people, yeah, and I think the 2.3l engine will please a lot of people once it's broken in. I'm not "most people" though- I like my engine peaky. I want it to require finesse and reward my downshifts- it's more engaging to drive an engine like that.

So even though the engine has gotten more powerful, it's not as fun as it was when new. I want to add top-end horsepower to fix this!

Hey, my 2,3l has 166HP the Europe has weaker horses probably, so we count 166 instead of the US 160...

Nahh I belive it's cause the US 6 is tuned for their kind of gas. They but a little more nitro in our gas U know

I think the JDM cars has 170hp.

Intake and better mufflers will open up the top end a bit.
