First revision of the G4NA engine makes 166 PS (122 kW; 164 hp) @ 6,500 rpm and 20.5 kg⋅m (148 lb⋅ft; 201 N⋅m) at 4,800 rpm while later revisions produce 152–156 PS (112–115 kW; 150–154 hp) @ 6,200 rpm and 19.6–19.9 kg⋅m (142–144 lb⋅ft; 192–195 N⋅m) at 4,500 rpm.

Applications

2.0L CVVL (G4ND)

edit

Primary change is adding the CVVL, the engine produces 172 PS (127 kW; 170 hp) @ 6,700 rpm and 20.5 kg⋅m (148 lb⋅ft; 201 N⋅m) at 4,800 rpm.

Applications
