Hi,

My family has two 2005 Hondas; CRV and Accord LX. They both have the same four cyl engine. Hower, I noticed that CRV seemed to have more pull. So I checked the engines specs on OwnersLink web-site.

Accord Specs: 160 hsp 160 pound of torque at 6,000 rpm
CRV Specs" 160 hsp 162 pound of torque AT 5,500 rmp

I also noticed that CRV's enginer air filter is much bigger.

Why this difference in specs and why didn't they program the Accord's engine to have torque available at lower rpm?
