Turbonetics 2nd Gear December 19, 2008 Share December 19, 2008 Quote Low end is not for sprinting? What is your definition of sprinting? sprinting = drag race. low end is good for pick up only. at high rpm,they are very weak. this explains why their century sprint timing are over 10 sec. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_b20 6th Gear December 19, 2008 Share December 19, 2008 hmmm... so many specifications also not much use.. the easiest question : 0-100 kmh = ??? sec ??? when u say less than 2.4L NA japanese sure waste petrol, do u include Type Rs, SIRs etc? unless u saying the taxi's 0-100 timing is less than 7 sec?

Hiphiphoray 6th Gear December 19, 2008 Share December 19, 2008 Hrrrr....i have asked many sonata taxi drivers b4. Surprising none of them know!!!! I think my sonata is 161bhp / 280nm. i think only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my sonata is 161bhp / 280nm. i think only. I think yours should be correct, given that it is 2.4L petrol version. For the Taxi, which is likely to be turbo diesel, I think it should be somewhere like 143bhp/33kgm, doubt it is 170bhp. Unless it is a V6 or 3L car. Like what you have said, none of them really know. Probably the best is to ask Comfort. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetics 2nd Gear December 20, 2008 Share December 20, 2008 Quote I did mentioned the Torque is good for PICKUP didn't I? yah bro. i just want to differentiate between sprinting and pick-up. fast pick-up does not mean fast drag. taxis and commercial vehicles are made to have low-end torque because they usually have more loads.

Jtis 4th Gear December 20, 2008 Share December 20, 2008 Petrol 2.4 Sonata is probably about 161bhp, sounds correct. But torque is definitely way lower than 280nm, my guess is that it should be about 220 - 230NM thereabout, even without checking out the specs on the internet. NA, 1.6 is about 140-150NM, 2L should have 190 - 200NM while NA 2.4 will have 220-230NM. For FI engines, all bets are off.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiphiphoray 6th Gear December 20, 2008 Share December 20, 2008 Oh...okok. Should its 161BHP 220Nm har. I will try to remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
