89 vs 91??

[bvav22]

Sry if my questions annoy you guys, but i have so many. yesterday my neighbor made fun of my 88hp and was joking that the 91 -93 2.3s had 120. so i looked it up and they really do have 120 (or so says some internet sources). He said that the only differences in the cars was a MAF and a roller cashaft.

Now i know what the MAF does, but what does a roller cam do exactly?

The 91-93 actually got 105hp. Part of that is the new ignition setup (dual plugs now), extra compression and the roller cam. The roller cam simply has rollers instead of face to face sliding like a slider cam.

i see i see, is a roller cam something i could put in mine to get a few hp?

Yea, you could put it in...you may or may not gain anything. But it makes you feel better. ( i did the swap when i was still n/a)

The best things you can do for your car is dead-weight removal maybe a sway bar or two.

 

[bvav22]

when you put yours in,did you experince gains?

What are sway bars?

Sway bars look like this in the front and this in the rear. The help with handling, stability and rigidity.
