-The two powers are a function of the accessories such as the electronic ignition, carburetors or fuel injection and the rpm.

-The mentioned systems are the EFI or “Electronic control for Fuel Injection” and the MPFI or “Multi-Point Fuel Injection”.

-When the Rotrex turbocharger is coupled to the EA-81, the power rises to 200 HP, not requiring intercooler since it is a light MP increase.
