Im not sure why but in asia we have the C200 series engines bases on a 1796cc supercharged inline 4 that puts out 177 lb/ft torque. In the US the C230K which has a 1.8L engine that puts up 189hp and 192 lb/ft torque. Could it be the amount of boost running on each engine?

There are three supercharged 1.8 liter engines, C180k, C200k and C230k. They have different compression ratios, which means they have different pistons. They run different amounts of boost, which probably means they have different crankshaft pulley. Because of the different compression ratios and boost levels, they should have different ECU programming. They might have different camshafts, but I don't know for sure.

Compression rations? Were you in the US Army perchance? Those rations don't sound so good Originally posted by Lynn

+ get me one of those 18 litre engines - I bet they go like stink

LOL, I can't type worth a damn.
No, I was never in the Army, but I do work for the Defense Department, and at one time our organization was an Air Force unit. I have had the opprotunity (spelled misfortune) to exist on Air Force flight rations for a while. They were based on the WWII Army C rations. I believe the canned bread in the flight rations was a product of Canada. They were the same size, hardness and taste as hockey pucks.
18 liters?!! I must have been daydreaming of the old Brooklands cars with the huge Railton and Napier aircraft engines.
