For those interested in more turbo trivia: the F1 turbo formula from the mid 
to late '80's was only 1.5 liters!!!!! There is a copy of a research paper in 
the SAE book "Design of Racing and High Performance Engines" about the Honda 
motors. They claim the power of the 1987 motor was 750 kW (kilowatts?) at 
about 12,000 rpm!!! I'm not sure how that converts to horsepower but if Fejda
shows up with that much he can count on a rules change!!!!
