bhp on this engine

[liamp]

what bhp doe the 2.0 16 v calibre engine have with a k &n and stainless exhaust system and what does it have as standarn cause i am buying one v soon cheers every one

standard 156bhp, prob no more than 160 with those mods tbh, the k+n may even cause it to lose power slightly as due to the tightness in the nova bay it can draw in warm air as opposed to cold air as designed for.
dont worry, the power is still excellent fun even from a standard 16 valver
