I just bought a '75 2.0. The manual says it has 84hp and 97 lb.ft of torque. I have read different sites and here claiming it has 100hp. What is it and what would the difference be?

Forget it, I found the page. It appears I have a GC Engine @ ~88hp. Now how do I get this up to 100? Pistons?
It appears the US GA engine @ 96hp has 7.6:1 and so does the GC.
The Euro engine has 8:1 and 100hp????

yes, euro spec ran higher compression, thus more HP ...

PS: the '75/'76 were choked down by all the smog equipment, which resulted in less HP ...

Not to mention the piss-poor exhaust pipes...

How to get 100hp out of your stock late 2.0?

Switch over to early 2.0 style heat-exchangers (preferably SSI) + a bursch muffler.

Remove your emissions control equipment. That means smog pump, air injectors on the heads (plug them), EGR stuff, all that.

Oh, don't forget to put in some euro pistons. (higher compression).

That's pretty much it before you start messing with the AFR and timing...

Pistons I can see but what about the cam shaft? Is it the same for Euros and US?
I thought I read that a 1.7 had better flowing HE's than '75 2.0. Is this right? I have a set of SS HE's for a 1.7.
