Type-R gets a new engine

[insane200]

just imagine the noise of a 8k rpm dersal

 

[Chopper]

i wouldnt be so slow to **** off, diesel engines are going to reign supreme, i have a vauxhall astra sri 150 bhp, remapped to 200bhp and it goes like poo off a spade, the torque is amazing... bhp is nice, torque is nicer, i bet the diesel type r will outperform the petrol version. vauxhall have already anounced they are making vxr diesels after the roaring success of thurlby 888s tuned my model into a car that can compete with a vxr but get double the fuel economy. diesel is the way ahead.

Wow 180bhp :/

hi mate whats your cdti been like for reliability and how many miles has it done ?? ive always loved the sport hatch 1.9 cdti

 

[PMKeates]

BMW have a 2.0 diesel in the 1 series that's chucking out over 200hp. Even GM have a 1.9 diesel with 180hp

 

[Gaverick]

What is the theoretical limit a diesel can rev to anyway? I've read it's somewhere around the 5-6k rpm range,

 

[Sone]

Awful awful dilution of brands, made even worse by the fact we dont get the proper type r's over here anyway Hopefully some other car manufacturer will realise some people want the stripped out racer and provide it soon enough.

Who exactly wants one??, i see very few DC2 Tegs which afaik were the only proper Type-R's sold in this country

Dunno but the amount that have been imported shows that there is a market for them over here.

I don't think there is a limit like that on a diesel engine, but there probably is on the particular diesel fuel that we buy here in Europe.

 

[Maz]

Type R Diesel?!

Not likely.

they cant rev high because they cant burn fuel fast enough i've heard

You appear to have utterly missed the point of what the Type-R is about.

I could get into the whole OMG DIESEL TORQUE!!!!one11 thing again, but I just can't be arsed TBH....

 

[gambitt]

as a DC2 type-r owner I really really hope they call it a Type-D or something instead

 

[panthro]

Least it will have some torque unlike the other type R's.

Thats really of no interest to Honda who make their money selling new cars.

 

[g0th2000]

If you want torque at the crank get a Tracto-R

 

[DreXeL]

That's right, Type-Rs have no torque whatsoever, they are whisked along by......magic. Or something.

 

[Gaijin]

The whole "Honda's have no torque" thing is nearly as boring as the whole "detailing is pointless" charade, wouldn't you agree Drex?
