Norman Neutral Newbie March 5, 2004 Share March 5, 2004 hi bros, juz want to check wif u if this is true....... http://www.silverrims.com/ReadReview.asp?Id=55 it says about the current 156: "The marvellous twin-spark 16v 2.0 litre unit produces 155 bhp with 133 lbft of torque." then says about the new 156: "The face lift model will be arriving in our shores about June 04 with the new injection engine that replaces the twin spark units. It actually gains 15 horses but more significantly another 19 lbft of torque, but is it as good as the twin spark units, watch this space." that means 170bhp!!! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear March 5, 2004 Share March 5, 2004 I think it's actually 165hp. But yep, that's a pretty damn good figure! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly75ts Neutral Newbie March 5, 2004 Share March 5, 2004 Hi! there, Norman, So, are you asking about the AR156TS engine or the AR156JTS engine?? That's right, the JTS has higher power output without twinspark. It's an old model in other parts of the world. Rgds Paul Yong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear March 5, 2004 Share March 5, 2004 You are right Paul, its an old model in other parts of the world already, thanks to Massa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly75ts Neutral Newbie March 5, 2004 Share March 5, 2004 I swear!! I'm not related to anyone in Massa. How's the weather there?? How about taking a drive up to Sunshine Coast, to practice wet road driving?? If the car don't drown first. Rgds Paul Yong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 5, 2004 Share March 5, 2004 Think the writer made a mistake. The 1st 2L 156's did indeed pump out 155bhp. However, v3 models lost 5 bhp due to compliance to stricter Euro emission standards. The new injection engine (JTS) pumps up 165bhp, which is quite respectable.
