the 95 has the m42 motor with obd1, Im not exactly sure so correct me if im wrong but I think that its about 115 whp 110 wtq. The hole flywheel hp and wheel hp confuses me why cant they just only measure it by wheel hp.

'95 318ti M42
Power SAE net 138bhp @ 6000rpm
Torque SAE net 129 lb-ft @ 4500rpm

The M44 1.9L is:
Power SAE net 138bhp @ 6000rpm
Torque SAE net 133lb-ft @ 4300rpm

M42 bore and stroke:
84.0mm X 81.0mm

M44 Bore and stroke
85.0mm X 83.5mm

The M44's increase in torque is mainly due to the longer stroke. I personally prefer shorter stroke motors. The 1.8 16V Scirroco I owned reved so much faster than the 2.0 16V GTI that I had. I really didn't like that 2.0 16V VW motor, Loved the 1.8 16V VW motor. My buddy in Anaheim Hills 1.9 Z3 (M44) seemed slow compared to my '95 ti. They are both about the same weight.

Thanks for the info, I asked because I smoked a 97 Acura Integra w/intake and exaust i just thought they were faster than that.

[dodj]

so the 1.8 is faster than the 1.9 ti???

please explain, well you already did explain but i dont understand

[mickd]

The M42 has a forged crank and conventional rockers, the M44 has a cast crank and roller rockers. The M42's maximum engine speed is 6500rpm, the M44's 6350rpm. Just thought I'd post this as long as we're talking about our motors. Got all the numbers from R&T, the HP and torque match factory specs.

[dodj]

so in a straight line a 95 ti would be ahead?

That's great! I've beaten Integra's but not the R types, I'm all wound out in 2nd and have to shift and they go by pretty easily, with their high reving motors and high redline. I beat Civics pretty handily.

my friends prelude vtir beats me pretty easily

The 1.8 M42 sure feels better to me, seems to rev much easier, and that's what counts. I don't want to be flamed, but I would bet a stock '95 M42 would beat an M44, just the fact it revs better and has a higher redline would make me believe so.
