I am pretty sure the 1.5L is underrated. I bet it's closer to 105 hp.

yeh i reckon...i think the 1.5L are around 105hp-110hp~~~~

Interesting...Sometimes manufacturers under rate but I wonder why that would be the case here.
They were already defending their decision to downsize to a 1.5 as their base model engine. If they could have claimed a decrease in size and higher output, I think they would have done it.

I've got a G-tech. I'm going to take some numbers, not because I believe it's 100% accurate but rather it's a good "before and after" measurement tool. I'm doing my 1.8 swap shortly and want to know what kind of an improvement I'm dealing with.

For insurance purposes I assume. I bet a car with under 100 hp is cheaper to insure than one with over.
