Dunno, the workshop manual dosent list the hp only the torque... 38lb.ft @ 1750rpm 23.6:1 compression. (must be good head gaskets!) Not bad for 948cc! |

I got the workshop manual in PDF form off the net. There is a website with lots of manuals that you can download. (no they didn't have any Honda 750/4 manuals!) 
If anyone wants to know what vehicles had the A series diesel, they were fitted to the BMC mini.....

Ultimate is what i too put in the mini
We're putting the best we can in the bike, best i've seen is 95...i don't think it's as good as our 98 cause the bike has pinged a bit in traffic depending on fuel... |

I know that standard European diesel is far superior to the deisel we have here in Australia. Most cars in Euopean countries run on (European) diesel as it actually produces less smog than standard petrol, and is hence better for densely populated cities. The new Mini One comes in a diesel option... but you wouldn't want one of these for Aus, as our diesel is dirty as s**t. I'm not surprised that they released an Ultimate diesel as it is as popular as our unleaded here. |
