Hi,
Considering conversion factor of 1 NM = 1Kg-M*9.80, 16.3 Kg-M equals app 160 NM.

First engine power delivers power of 118@6600 rpm and second delivers 68PS@4000 RPM.Also torque developed in second is higher and at much lesser RPM .

To select one, First engine has better combination of higher power and considerble torque and hence makes better selection.
