Puzzled a bit by the Theta and Nu mills.
Theta powers the Forte, is 1998cc, 156HP @ 6200, 144TQ @ 4300. Nu powers the Soul, is 1999cc, 164HP @ 6300, 148TQ @ 4800. From what I've observed it seems the Nu shows more real world power and MPG. Highway MPG figures for the Forte (sedan Cd=.29) and Soul (Cd=.42 from the only source I could find) are very close. Allied trannies and final drives would also be nice to know, as well as WFO shift points on the 6-speed autos. Yes, I don't want much. Thanks for any help, internet searches have turned up little so far. -------------------- |

Found the answer at Wiki.
Theta is the older, unveiled in August 2004 in SoKo. 2.0 is square at 86mm bore & stroke. The 2.4 is 88mm bore x 97mm stroke. Uses timing chain. CVVT on intake side. Nu introduced in the 2011 Elantra as a 1.8, with 81mm bore and 87.1mm stroke. The 2.0 in the 2012 Soul has 81mm bore x 97mm stroke, Dual-Continuous Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT), and uses a timing chain. -------------------- |
