economy of disco mpi's

(1/4) > >>

Mart:
as i'm shopping around for a discovery i keep noticing a few 2ltr mpi's just wondered if there any good and what the fuel economys like?

think i'll be going for a tdi unless i here the mpi's brilliant.

cheers martin

500bhp:
I am biased, but I think there great, quick compared to a TDI, 28mpg, quiet, and if you have a gas conversion like mine, then really cheap to run. Off road the standard engine lacks low down grunt, but get the cam shaft reprofiled for bottom end power and it will suprise you.  :D

rangerider:
never had one, but the thought of a 2litre N/Apetrol lump in a motor that size dosent inspire me at all, whilst im running a 200tdi right now and would class it as adequate, i still lust after a V8, a careful right foot will get you into the high 20s on a run (based on personal experience of rangies).

basically the mpi wasnt even on my consider list when I went shopping and ended up with my current heap, but each to their own :)

500bhp:
Engine specs 16 valve, twin cam, 140 bhp, 131 ftlbs torque
Take a tdi then a mpi for a test drive, is the best way to decide

what V8 was that then i want it :shock:  careful tickling of the loud pedal on mine can see the heady heights of 16mpg but usually the way i drive its around 13mpg :(
