M42 engine is for the 95's. | | | | | 05-03-2006, 09:45 PM | #3 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |
Depending on production date; it could be M42 or M44... | | | | | 05-03-2006, 09:53 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 |
What is the real differences in those engines? __________________

I'm not the expert on the fours; others here would be of more help...
The early engine is 1.8 liter, and the later one is 1.9 liter. HP and Tq numbers are the same for both engines.
The early engine is arguably easier to 'tune' as most were without the EWS system.
Wait for others to chime in... | | | | | 05-05-2006, 02:06 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Plano Texas Posts: 206 |
I think that the HP numbers are the same for both, but the M44 has more torque. __________________

The production is 09/95. Just found that out. The stickers are in terrible condition. __________________

If you have a metal oil filter cover then it's an M42, if it's hard plastic then it's an M44. | | | | | 05-05-2006, 03:26 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 |
At the top of the sticker it says "318is/5" ??????? Metal housing, filter is plastic with exposed filter. So yeah. M42. Aiight. __________________

m42 is 1.8 liters, m44 is 1.9 liters
both have 138 stock hp
m42 has 129 ft.lbs of tourque where the m44 has 133 ft.lbs of torque
