The Jap spec S2000 matches (but doesn't surpass) the N1's outputs. The Jap spec S2000 (higher compression ratio) is quoted as 250PS on their website. 250PS = 247hp (184 kw). 247hp/2.0 litres = 123.5 hp/litre. Bang on the Nissans figures when using this method of comparison. Incidentally N1 Pulsar's have been approved for 2nd hand import to Aus.

How come now one is talking BMEP for comparing outputs and knockiing the high revving engines back in to shape with the pushrods?
