Consider that a Phase 1 (late 80's) EJ22 (that's 2.2L for those unfamiliar with the rather obvious Subaru nomenclature) makes 135bhp and redlines at 6000rpm, without much praise being thrown at its flow characteristics.
I took it as, somewhere 140 w and a 7k rpm redline.

Thanks for the correction on the bhp. I always get confuse between bhp and hp.

This is why I'm baffled.
