i-DTEC is supposed to be 111kW. The old i-CTD was 103kW. I hope that it is a typo and not another detuned ECU because of our imaginary poor fuel.

There are also plenty of gains to be had with these high tech diesels now days!
Hot4's i30 Hyundai went from 85kW / 255Nm to 100kW / 330Nm (17% gain) with computer tuning.

I think the Mazda 6 diesel engine sounds much more impressive...

136kw and 400nm from 1800rpm.. Now that should mumbo nicely

Especially with the lighter weight.....

[Suntzu]

Theres 2 tunes of the new I-DTEC

Theres a 110kw 350nm job for most

and theres approx a 140kw 400nm tune for GT type/Lux models.

Honda will decide who and in which markets it deploys them.

They are going head to head with the mazda 6 here so lets see how this plays out.

I believe most modern diesels are in a modest state of tune to preserve emmissions as thats the big target meaning that big gains are possible with re-tuning etc

Yeah but the Euro will come as a manual and auto whereas the Mazda6 is manual only. For a car to have any hope of selling in sufficient numbers, it needs to have an auto version.

Diesels seem to be more of a fad this time around though, so they might do a lot better.

Was talking to a friend who is Mazda sales last saturday. He said Mazda has no intention of bring in diesel version and MPS for 6 due to poor sales of previous model.

Bringing deisel engine toward end of a model's life coupled with "Manual Only" definitely didn't do any good to sales figure. Now with cost of deisel almost 30 cents dearer than unleaded, really have to the mathematic right to work out which engine will be more economical to run.

I realise this is an old thread, but has anybody heard anything about a diesel euro.
Do they have them in Japan ???

[Type R Positive]

None in Japan. Looks like Europe only.
