The 1.6 8v was 88bhp to be acurate. And Gaz is right; the 1.2 16v in the Mk1 is 86bhp

very true,
the 1.6 8v was called a 90 and the 1.2 16v was called a 85.
a rought estimate of it power output.
remember these are fly wheel figures.
so your 'real' power figure (HP) will be more like 55-65HP.
Just thank god you don't have a VW camper, at the flywheel, with a flat 4 turbo plant lifted from a wrecked imprezza (they fit like a glove), it generated 208bhp, at the wheels, .......................98hp!!!!!!
what a joke!!! later found that just about every bearing in the transmisson was funked. Now it kicks a more healthy 165hp at the wheels.
