BMW were getting in excess of 1000 BHP out of 1.5 litre turbo 4-cyl engine in 1986. . The same engine was also known for putting pistons through the block!

Quote from wikipedia: The BMW M12/13 Turbocharged I4 engine was famous during its life for being the first Formula 1 engine capable of 1000hp in racing trim, although it was capable of nearly 1400hp for qualifying with modification of its boost.
