I have a 95' honda accord ex w/ vtec and i was wondering if there is a way to tell how much horsepower it has.

Also, my brother has a 97' honda accord ex but with no vtec. He thinks he can beat me in a race. Is there a way to compare the power of both cars when i can't really race him anywhere near where i live?

dyno your cars.... or just google the engines and find how much hp/torque each car/engine has. You can even find the 1/4 mile for your car on the web. just search man

As a side note, if you have an EX you should have VTEC, unless the motor has been swapped. If you have a special edition however, you will have the amenities of an EX but the B2 engine.

as far as when it comes to racing each other....it will come down to whoevers a better driver......in my opinion.....cuz i have an lx model...(non vtec) and ive beaten the ex models.....

Yeah, maybe. They are prolly both auto`s, lol.
What are the tranys in both cars? 5speeds or auto`s?

to the flywheel, the one with vtec is about 140, w/o is about 130

cjmurillo

both are standards

tell him if he thinks he can beat you, then prove it (on a track of course!!) line em' up and see who can put their money where their mouth is

Kabato48

yeah, i did some searching.

Mine (95 accord ex w/vtec auto) has about 145 hp

His (97 accord ex no vtec auto) has about 130

I guess as close as they are it would just come down to who's the better driver. I know for sure it's me though lol. So i guess i would win.

Lol are we talking a track race or a straight up drag? Because if they're both autos and ur doin a drag i really dont see how either of you could possibly drive it better

EX = 145 in stock trim (on a good day)
DX, LX and SE = 130 in stock trim (Downhill)

that downhill comment got me laughing lol.

tamadrummer1120

bahahaha. and considering it is 2010, there will be a good amount of wear and tear on them, so back in 95 and 97 they may have put that to the flywheel, but no way in that happening now.

good laugh though P.

Like I have said many times Honda Accords are not race cars.

My 1997 LX (f22b2 non-VTEC) dynoes at 130 hp and 142 tq to the wheels but it has i/h/e just to give you an idea.
