engine in normally aspirated form as in the 9000 non-turbo, that engine puts out about 150HP and roughly 158 lb-ft of torque. The 9000 Aero using essentially the same engine has 225HP and 258 lb-ft of torque. So we have a multiplier of about 1.5 from normally aspirated to high output turbo.
I suppose we can do the reverse, given the 9-5 Aero has 250HP and 258 lb-ft of torque. I would divide the HP number by 1.5, giving about 167HP and probably about 160+ lb-ft in non-turbo form. I believe with modern engine control and good intake and exhaust plumbing, a 2.3L normally aspirated engine can safely put out about 200HP or so. Honda engines easily put out close to 100HP/Litre without turbo charging albeit with anemic torque.
