PS = Pferdestärke = horse strength in German

1 PS = 0.986 HP, so yeah, 170ps is right about 170 hp.

Anyways, for engine swaps, check out the Hybrid section. Also, be sure to let everybody know what kind of car you have, what kind of power output you're looking for, and what kind of driving you're going to use it for: the street, drag strip, auto-x, and/or track.
