Cadillac STS
 

Saw a 92ish Cadillac Seville STS on the road yesterday. Four tailpipes. Found an identical looking car in the local classifieds with 4,9L V8 giving....202hp???!

Re: Cadillac STS
 

It's much more likely that it was a 4.6L at ~295 hp. Unless I'm mistaken, GM hadn't done anything with a 4.9L engine in a good long time at that point.

It is a 4.9L V8 OHV 16 valve FI, 4 speed auto, 200hp@4,100rpm,Torque: 275 ft-lbs. @ 3000 rpm. Probably very rare in Norway. There's not many left on the road here in salt land either.
Even an SVX would beat it.:lol:

They went to the Northstar 4.6L with 295hp in 1993.

Re: Cadillac STS
 

I stand corrected! It looks like the [Cadillac] 4.9L didn't see much use outside of 1992-1993. Considering its output, that's probably a good thing.

Re: Cadillac STS
 

Yes, 4.9L and 200 hp sounds just totally, totally wrong. Especially when Subaru at the same time produces a 3.3L which gives 230 in what can be regarded as a "downtuned" output due to the general tolerances of the engine.

I have little insight, but exactly which parts in the EG33 do you need to change to higher quality / tolerance to attain 300 hp in N/A form completely reliably and enduring?

But you got the V8 sound so it must bee some value to bye one of these:p
