chadz34 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 I just thought I'd share with you the email I got from GM. I asked the exact horsepower and torque specs. This is what I got. Mr. Gibbons: Thank you for your patience in waiting for our response. In response to your inquiry, our internal technical resources have provided the following feedback: The HP and torque ratings for this engine have changed slightly over the years from 1991 to 1997: 1991 LQ1 Rating HP = 210 @ 5200 RPM Torque = 200 lb-ft @ 5000 RPM 1997 LQ1 Rating HP = 215 @ 5200 RPM Torque = 220 lb-ft @ 4400 RPM We trust this information is of assistance to you, and we thank you for contacting General Motors of Canada Limited.

Justin Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 I thought the earlier auto cars only had 200hp? Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 nope, 210 is correct from everything I've ever heard Quote
Kalgorn Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 I thought the earlier auto cars only had 200hp? I thought so too. I thought the manuals were the only ones to have 210hp. Quote
Brian P Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 maybe they quoted the 5-spd rated hp only? What are these internal technical resources? Also known as....sales brochures? Heather has been answering emails on behalf of GM for a while. A couple of years ago (on probably gmforums) she had given us production numbers of anything you can think of. You just have to ask her REALLY REALLY nicely and assure her that the assistance she gives is a great asset bla bla bla basically brown nose her ... Quote
Aaron Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 1991-1993 Auto: 200hp/200tq -9.25:1 compression, MPFI 1991-1993 5-speed: 210hp/215tq -9.5:1 compression, MPFI 1994-1995 Auto: 210hp/215tq -9.25:1 compression, SFI 1996-1997 Auto: 215hp/220tq -9.7:1 compression, and other differences.

Prospeeder Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 1991-1993 Auto: 200hp/200tq-9.25:1 compression, MPFI 1991-1993 5-speed: 210hp/215tq -9.5:1 compression, MPFI 1994-1995 Auto: 210hp/215tq -9.25:1 compression, SFI 1996-1997 Auto: 215hp/220tq -9.7:1 compression, and other differences. That sounds right, even a lumina Z34 Magazine said the Auto had 200 and the Manual had 210hp Quote
chadz34 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, I also agree that Aaron is right. But, I just thought I'd share. Quote
Psych0matt Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 1994-1995 Auto: 210hp/215tq-9.25:1 compression, SFI Ahhh, I was thinking 91-95 was same for some reason <-- stupid '94 owner Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 1991-1993 Auto: 200hp/200tq-9.25:1 compression, MPFI 1991-1993 5-speed: 210hp/215tq -9.5:1 compression, MPFI 1994-1995 Auto: 210hp/215tq -9.25:1 compression, SFI 1996-1997 Auto: 215hp/220tq -9.7:1 compression, and other differences. That sounds about right, except for the 96-97 torque. I have a magazine ad for a 1996 GP coupe that lists both HP and TQ at 215. Quote
