Default 91-93, why a 10hp difference?

I know the 92/93 Integras make 10 hp more than the 91. Anyone know what the difference in the engine is?

Anyone have the specs on the cams or know where to get them? What's the difference in the ECU?

Did a little searching, didn't find specs but I guess my 91 is obd0 and the 92/93 is obd1. Can't really say I feel like switching over, I've got an aftermarket intake manifold, so all that's left are the cams. I was thinking of going aftermarket but would throw in 93s for a little upgrade if I can find them cheap enough. Might even have some laying around but I still would need to know the lift so I could measure them. Any other way of telling the difference between the different year cams?

90 is obd 0
92 is obd 1

You can do it, but i would recommend getting another obd 1 motor (92-93 b18a, or 94-95 B18B), save you more time and effort than it would be worth...plus you would be swapping a motor with less power.

# Power: 90-91 Only: 130 bhp (97 kW) @ 6000 rpm & 126 ft·lbf (171 N·m) @ 5000 rpm
# Power: 92-93 Only: 140 bhp (100 kW) @ 6300 rpm & 121 ft·lbf (164 N·m) @ 5000 rpm

if u really look at it your not really getting a much different in trying to change it cuz all your doing is change your torque for HP so u almost going to be running the same if u really want to do all that change just go to a B18B Power: 142 hp (106 kW) @ 6300 rpm & 127 ft·lbf (172 N·m) @ 5200 rpm. and that would be worth the effort that just my two cent
