Caught a glimpse of a parked car as I passed it, saw it was an Audi A1 I think and I'm pretty sure I read 1.2T on the back of it? What sort of an engine is that now?
-
1.2t fsi engine.. aka slower than slow engine :grin:

well i think my dads clio is a 1.2t and its got 100bhp :grin:

Really?
105PS and 130 lb-ft...not too shabby from a 1.2!
On road, it goes at least as well as a Mk4 2.0 GTI...at least in my Mothers 1.2T 7 speed DSG Fabia...it's surprisingly swift for such a small motor.

wont be long before bigger turbo's will be added. How much extra boost you think they can take before uprated internals?
-
they are quite nippy little cars, although im not a huge renault fan the clio does have some poke for what it is he was also looking at trading it in for a twingo sport think they are somehting like 130bhp

People need to just understand small engines are here to stay...
When you can replace a tall, heavy, inefficient 2.0 8v with a smaller, lighter, 1.2T giving as much torque, not much less power and 30-40% better fuel economy and a way lower tax liability...what's not to like?
Other benefits include better handling and lesser tyre wear...win-win?

Remap ftw :grin:

Smaller engines are the future

Wait till the 2cylinder diesels start hitting the showrooms. MASS PANIC!!! :shocked:

Wtf, what size will they be then.
-
I believe 1.4-1.6, can't quite remember off top of my head

What is the thinking behind 2 cylinder then.

I'll be alright, it's only 1 less than I have already.

Theres a Renault fan boy down the road from me with one of them Twingos and a Clip Cup and dare I say it but I really like both of them :shocked:

those lumpy kubota engines make it sound almost like a scooby :grin:

and bringing a wankel out http://green.autoblog.com/2010/03/01/geneva-preview-audi-a1-e-tron-extended-range-ev-with-wankel-rot/

Well the 3 pot 1.4 tdi engine from the 6n2 polos are amazing! Supposedly they can easily make over 100bhp too.

If you're nailing it, it won't be anymore fuel efficient.

I must admit to having a real soft spot for the toyota glanza and the nissan cube.

Nissan Cube +1 for its styling statement.
No confusing, messy corners or lines unlike many alternatives (including all the new fords, which look like they've melted)
-
The new Focus looks like a Korean rip off of the last focus. It's disgusting :sick:
-
LOVE NISSAN CUBES
-
I also like this though... :embarassed:

Some of the best cars i've seen have been cleverly modified run of the mill machinery.

we need 2 stroke diesels
obv with dcommon rail injection and plenty of boost

They are though...
Look at a 210 BHP 1.8T vs a 200 BHP Mk5 2.0 TFSI vs a Mk6 2.0 TFSI...they all make the same power, but they get more fuel efficient every generation because FSI allows more precise control of the fuel atomisation, giving a better burn, more power and less fuel drop out...so a 1.2TFSI will usel less fuel than earlier 100+ BHP engines.
A Mk6 GTI is at least 5 MPG better everywhere than a Mk5 GTI...and they are both TFSIs...so what are the gains over non FSI engines?
-
I think the analogy was between a 1.2T and other, larger capacity engines which require less thrashing to attain the same "flat out" speed/acceleration of a 1.2T.
Take for instance the Top Gear fuel economy test (although not scientific admittedly) between the Prius and an M3 (iirc) which depicted that the Prius aquired lower MPG whilst being thrashed compared the the M3 which had to keep up with it.
-
The 330d was more economical than the 320d for that reason.
Returned much better MPG because you barely needed to touch the throttle to go way faster than the 320d did when you were flooring it.
-
Either way a smaller engine will use less fuel, you're not going to put your foot to the floor from the moment you turn the key.

Bingo! And a modern engine will always be more efficient than an old engine.

Like an old Dockers? :tongue:
Marine 2 strokes, now you're talking :grin:

Never driven a 1.4 mk5 then? :lipsrsealed: :grin:
