If we think of the late 80's engines, we had a 1998 ccm I5 with 115
hp, a 2226 one with 138 hp (HX), a 2309 ccm with 136 hp (NF) and the
2226 turbo with 165 hp (MB).

In kW, the NA 2.2/2.3 were at 100/101 kW, and the turbo engine had 121
kW.


In my first post, I was thinking of the early 5kt with 130 hp - that's
6/8 hp less than the NA 2.2 litre I5 here..
