How much HP does an 89 J-spec engine have?

I found a place that sells imported engines from Japan and they have an 89 complete with turbo and intercooler for $800 CDN ($550 US). How much more power should this engine make than my 88?

it should just be 200 HP so stock for stock thats 20 more than 88. however it has better turbo and manifold setup but the electric oil metering pump sucks.

the metering pump doesnt suck, it just sucks money from your wallet if it happens to goes out. (My old one had 198,000 miles not a problem).
