The GA16DE is a 1.6 litre (1,597 cc) engine produced from November 1990 through 1999. All GA16DEs have sixteen valves and a DOHC head. There are two versions: the NVCS (VTC), which produces 115 hp (85 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 110 lb·ft (146 Nm) at 4,000 rpm, and a non-NVCS version (European-spec) which makes 102 hp (76 kW). Two versions of the North American NVCS version exist: earlier motors used pistons with two compression rings and a single oil ring and put out five less horsepower, while later GA16DEs have a single compression ring and a single oil ring. The GA16DE shares its block, crankshaft and much of its reciprocating assembly with its predecessor, the GA16i. Some engines have siamesed exhaust manifolds, while others keep the exhausts separated until the catalytic converter. Earlier ECUs contained the fuel & ignition maps on a discrete ROM IC, making retuning relatively easy, later ECUs buried the maps on a larger more integrated microcontroller's firmware, making retuning require the use of a daughterboard.
