Diesel engines are all about the torque, the CU2 version has 350Nms of it :D.

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.Quote:

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.....
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, thats partly why mazda6 TD failed last time. Diesels seem to be more of a fad this time around though, so they might do a lot better.Quote:
