damusto.... You need to be careful... not ALL the info out there is accurate.

There are 2 engine offerings dependent on where in the world you lived. The 4AGE TVIS engine came through with 2 different pistons - 9.4 to 1, and 10.0 to 1. THIS is why there is some power discrepancies.

The piston difference determines if your car was originally equipped with a catalyst (catalytic converter) 9.4 to 1 came with cat, 10 to one no cat.

Besides the piston difference, there is also a fuel injection difference that does NOT necessarily match the piston difference. The 2 types of fuel injection are either an air flow meter based system, or a vacuum sensor based (MAP) system.


NOT all US cars got A/C, sunroof, electric windows, power mirrors, rear wiper.... some came through without any of these options.
