turbojet. Fuel consumption was rated at . Variations include military or civilian aircraft, oil tank design, auxiliary equipment, and exhaust pipe configuration. Some variants also included one axial stage compressor for additional performance. The engine dimensions differ depending on the variant, auxiliary components and mounting configurations. ;Marboré IIA: ;Marboré IIB: ;Marboré IIC: ;Marboré IIF: ;Marboré IIG: ;Marboré III: ;Marboré IV: ;Marboré V: ;Marboré VI:The Marboré VI series were slightly more powerful at instead of . Fuel consumption was only slightly higher at . This was a 23% increase in thrust with slightly more than a 9% increase in fuel consumption. As a result, the VI series were used to re-engine many II-series powered aircraft, and Marboré II engines became available at discount prices. :
