DIN is a german standard - Deutsche Industrie Norm or something like that.
Horsepower can be quoted in a number of ways including metric equivalents (eg
PS). Probably the engine you have in mind has a metric calculation for
horsepower that in reality doesn't vary much from a 1.3 Spridget. With a lot
of Jap engines the power output isn't that much greater until you get to the
1.6 16 valve engines and this is because while the 1.6 &1.8 engines are
designed for economy and power or just power the 1.3 and smaller engines were
designed for economy.
Stick to the A-series and get a 3.5 diff ratio if the engine rpm really is
such a big deal, with or without a 5 speed. Or fit an overdrive box.
