What would you rather, the screaming 4.2 at 8000 rpm, or a rattly tractor engine at 4200 rpm.
Sounds like a good engine though, but not in an RS, maybe just keep it to the S models IMO. |

If it this is the rattly tractor engine then I'll take two. http://youtu.be/DU9bWl5vVFc If I am spending that kind of money I want more than just sound. If I just wanted sound I could get any old Holden or Ford V8.

Rattly tractor engine for the win, I love diesel engines. Diesel V8, best of both worlds lol.
Remember theres more energy in diesel than there is in ol' mate unleaded. There isn't much about diesel performance here in Australia as there is in the USA and Europe, USA takes it to the next level with some of their stuff, with a Cummins 6BT all you need is one with the Bosch P7100 injection pump, turn up the fuel and change injectors and you're already at around 300hp. Two of the forum members here have F series with a Cummins 6BT conversion in them. People with the UK Mondeo with the 2.2L diesel engine are putting out around the same power as what the XR5 is with minor mods and tuning but with lots more torque. Diesel has potential but it just has to be realised, as they're not popular here in Australia unfortunately we're limited with knowledge. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 29-05-2014 at 09:40 PM. |
