My investigation showed that is would be equal to a 14 hp. gas engine in performance. I understand that it is a copy of the famous Yanmar engine. Here is a link to a guy that put it in a Geo Metro.


I went to the website you posted about the 10 hp desiel , and it puts out some very impressive torque , the author of the article said . He said it climbed the steepest hills they could find , with a load too , and the small 10 hp desiel climbed them with ease , at 15 mph . Most impressive I,d say .
