3.6L TDV8

Would be interesting to hear ( a comparison) from anyone who had a TDV8 RRS and now owns a new 3.0LTDV6 RRS....??

IIRC the 3.0 out-performs the 3.6 TDV8.

You can get the 3.0L remapped to 697Nm. :D:BigThumb:

LR have put it in their poverty spec FFRR but not sure what figures they are quoting for it.

I think I have read that the 3.6 can be remapped to over 800Nm...

831Nm to be exact.

I have heard that at this much likelihood of failure increases.

I can confirm that it is really nice:D.

Back to Back compare with a stock 5.0 V10Tdi Toureg, the remapped 3.6 L322 feels sharper, possibly because it is opperating at higher rpm. The V10 trans shift mapping keeps it's running at 1050-1100rpm.

I drive all of them... All of the time. :D

The 3.0 SDV6 is nice but there is just something about the sound & power delivery of the TDV8 that the SDV6 just lacks. ;)

I find the change-over from 1 to 2 turbos provides non-linear power delivery that's probably a lot smoother with the TDV8's 2 turbos operating all the time combined with the larger capacity engine.

I haven't driven the rover TDV8, but I wouldn't expect their turbos to run the whole time. Single stage VNT's can only work over a certain rpm range. But the larger displacement will help with torque before you're into full boost.

The 3.6 TDV8 has twin turbos but not sequential. The 4.4 TDV8 in the FFR has twin sequential turbos... There was always a little pause with the power delivery of my TDV8Sport, something you got used to eventually a bit like the 2.7 TDV6.
Just a side note, something I just read: The new Supercharged Sport is now the fastest SUV round Nurembourg and also the fastest SUV up Pikes Peak! Something for Porsche to think about...
