series1 3800 1992 VS. 1993

hi,
in the title i meant 1992 Vs 1994.. sorry

juste out of the curiousity, i noticed that a 3.8 SC from a 1992 has 205 HP ( thats what i have) and the 1994 version has 225 HP.. whats the diffrence? since it s not a series 2 i dont know what did they do wto gain 20 horses..

i know that the series 2 3800 SC engine has 240.. but from 1995 and up as i been told.



anybody know what makes it do 20 HP more? is it boost? is it a diffrent SC ?

Fuel and Timing curves make a difference.. What they state however isn't necasarrily true. I wouldn't be to concerned about it. Its a heavy Car overall.

Re: series1 3800 1992 VS. 1993

so thats why its got more power... the M90 has more CFM capability therefore giving it more air/fuel... nice to know... now to compensate all i need is a smaller pulley :P

hehehe i dont think they make some for the M62...but that would be nice.. if i can keep the reliability..but if it spins faster, it uses up faster
