That's true. It's also 200cc down. And emissions were not much of an issue when designed.
A comparison that I find more relevant and interesting is to the highly regarded Honda K20-series engine. The K20Z3, found in 2006-2011 Civic Si, is remarkably similar: 1998cc, 86mm x 86mm bore/stroke, variable lift and cam phasing but no direct injection, result: 197 bhp @ 7800 rpm, Torque: 140 ft·lbf (189 N·m) @ 6200 rpm. A pretty close match!
Dimman, sorry to disagree, this car will not make anywhere close to 168lb-ft.
The quoted official figure of 151lb-ft sound pretty realistic to me. It should be a quite nice, flat torque curve too, we shall see.
PD: Gardus, didn´t see your post until I had finished mine, nice thought transmission lol!
