you gonna stick with the low comp pistons mark? I know you must be torn as its an arse to take two steps back and spend more cash but wont you be peed off doing all that work and still having low hp?

I'd think that might be slightly exaggerated power wise as that would only leave a 15bhp power diff between the 9.35 EFi which strikes me as odd but then again it is rover

Not sure... when I drove it, it seemed to go ok kept up with the gfs 1.1 saxo up to 80, I would have thought that it would be real slow with only 95 bhp

I think the efi does offer a good improvement over carb. Im going to hope its not 95 and actually 150 ish and live with it.

Remember though less BHP usually means more torque as well so acceleration would still be there up to a point in the low gears which would allow you to keep up a bit better

Just googled your engine code or the one you posted anyway

22D00001 - Landrover - Discovery

displacement cc - 3528

comp - 9.35

PS - 155

KW - 114

Fuel - Injection

fair enough bud, RS didnt say yours was 95, just that that was the lowest rv8 power out put from lr as standard.

Not sure the saxo test is a good yard stick though

discomark10 · Mar 30, 2013

Odd.. well it seems that the 8.1:1 cr efi has decent power what ever the code is... only a dyno will tell for sure I gess

discomark10 · Mar 30, 2013

What's the recommended torque for the short head bolts as they are not really needed?

fett · Mar 30, 2013

discomark10 · Mar 30, 2013

discomark10 · Mar 30, 2013
