Reg Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Add Tornado Chips and upgrade the plug leads but you will be spending £600 to £700. Upgrade cylinder heads, camshaft stage 1 or 2 if you want to get more. Why do you need more out of a 4.6? mine will do plenty enough with the chipset don't forget this a very heavy 4X4.

g&t Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm not really into modern diesels but 'Parkers' list the 2.7 @ 205 bhp (vs 225 for the 4.6) but doesn't quote the all -important torque figure for the Citroen. If you compare the power-to-weight ratio of the two vehicles (& remember that the RR is subject to a much greater power-loss through it's complex transmission) you will see why the 'Cit' performs that much better! It's the old case of 'horses for courses' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
