get it on a dyno and find out! doubt anyone has tested a 1.4 on a dyno when standard, but who knows, maybe someone has and will let you know.

it means that you'll have about 65BHP depending on transmission losses

exactly. @wheels figures are always lower than @fly figures as transmission loss is taken into account.
