What's the difference between the JDM GA16DA and the USD GA16DE

It's got more power, but I'm not sure exactly how, better head design, higher compression, I don't exactly know. I think I remember seeing it's got something like 130hp at the flywheel though. There was a discussion on the regular performance mailing list, check the archives there maybe.

I think it had higher compression because of the higher octane fuel in Japan. I think the JDM version had less emissions equipment too, but not sure.

it has more HP but overall i dont think its worth swapping..might as well go with an sr20de or if you really want some power a DET

What is the US GA16DE original Horsepower to begin with? 110 ?

barnoun · May 29th, 2002, 12:17 AM

110hp on the '91-94 and 115hp on the '95-99.

But swapping that Ga16de would be very simple and very cheap compared to any SR engine. It would be as simple as getting the engne, maybe the ecu, and just drop it in. An SR swap is a lot more expensive and complicated, you'll need the engine, transmission, ecu, wiring harness, halfshafts, etc....etc.

i think it's 9.9 compared to our 9.5

what car does the jdm ga16de have? the sunny?

ya the sunny.

What do u guys think about swapping some JDM parts into our US spec GAs? How about those higher compression pistons or the better flowing head? Only if it's cheaper than having the mods done to our parts in the US. Do you think it will be worth it?

If I was to dig into the engine to raise compression and modify the head, I'd just do it with parts available in the US, like forged pistons and a DPR head. Less hassle getting the parts and more power gain(the JDM has what, only 15hp more than the US version).

sr20de and DET
what's the difference?

T on the end = turbo!

well it's a pretty good idea. the only thing is the egr system... i don't think the JDM have the same emissions equipment as us...
