always spending money trying to match the v8's power and torque levels.

Can afford to! Because they aren't pumping the $$$ through the fuel tank!

And a TD5 upgrade doesn't make it match a V8, rather it makes it superior in torque curve and performance

have you been drinking again?

I dont think so

Production of the 4.0 ended in 2001. The final version of the engine, used in the Land Rover Discovery, produced 140 kW at 4750 rpm and 340 N·m at 2600 rpm.

As opposed to the Factory TD5 spec of:
135kw @ 4200 rpm and 300Nm at 1950 rpm

Now, A V8 can be chipped for about $450.00 and gains a huge 18bhp (thats about 13kw) and around 30Nm or $34.60 per Kw

The TD5 base tune is $340.00 and gains 55kw (and around 80Nm of torque) taking it to 190kw and 380Nm (at 1950 rpm) with a flat torque pattern from around 1800rpm to just shy of 4000 rpm

Thats about $6.20 per Kw


It also sits the TD5 right in the torque band off the line, and holds it there - allowing a much better acceleration curve especially when loaded.


And it still does sub 10l/100km...


The only drinking being done is by the V8

I thought I'd say what I was doing right now.....responding stupidly to that question which is really the only answer you can give RIGHT NOW....so from now on everyone should respond with "responding to your question".........yes?/no?.....

but you just asked a new question, so shouldnt we be answering that ?

Or the question should be "what were you doing immediately prior to answering this question?"

Right now I'm answering Tony's question...
Did I just break the thread?

Right now, I´m watching some footage of King of Portugal Ultra 4 race, specially these bits:
