I was talking about the engine choice for the Indian car, It is based on the the fact that mileage plays biggest role in engine [tune] for companies, the prototypes tested by HM for India had around 25 Bhps more than what the production version is tuned for, but fuel efficiency was not that good [according to most of the buying public] that's the reason for such a low power outputs.
By the way the cars tuned for MRF are NA and so high compression internals are used to get the power and yet they are quit reliable. And with a turbo build the stock internals will handle around 200 bhp reliably, and it will be cheaper than transplanting an old [used] JDm engine, If the turbochagering is done correctly and sensible outputs are targets than the it can be quit reliable, Upgrade the internal and the engine can be taken to higher state of tune.
Defiantly the engine won't last for like 200,000 km with mods, but even the evo engine don't last that long.But the it will be cheaper than 3-4 lac for the [evo- or MIVEC]engine conversion and the rebuilding of the same. |
