JDM SR20DEs come in both the 140 hp and 150 ps versions. The Primera engine comes with 150 ps and a tubualar exhaust manifold. The Primera engines come with 10:1 compression while the others (with cast iron manifold) are 9.5:1, same as USM engines. Since PS isn't the same as HP, I'd guess that half (or more) of the increased power comes from the tubular header. The half point of compression might make 1 or 2 hp.
