Performance upgrade for i6 3.2

Has anyone had any performance upgrades done on their petrol i6 FL2? If so, what did you have done and what was the additional engine output? Tired of being whipped by girls in their GSI Corsa's! Big Cry

Problem is, it's only the girls you "buy" who'll whip you... Very Happy

It's the Vauxhall in the UK - over here they're called the Opel Corsa (the small one).

You could turbocharge it.

I saw a car in Germany whilst at a car show last April who fitted a Volvo XC90 T-6 engine to his FL2, the two engines are identical, the sump and other dedicated ancillaries etc was transfered over from the FL2's 3.2.

There would have been quite alot of programming involved for the canbus system, but alot of what he was telling me was lost in translation. But you could use a stand alone management system to get round the can bus.

The end result was 300bhp and 344lb/ft. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Wouldn't that cost as much as a RRsport to do?

I hate to think how much it would be.

However, mechanically it should be a pretty straight forward job, as both the i6 and XC90 T6 engine are identical and built on the same line.

Land Rover are looking to build a new model Freelander 2, possibly badged the HSR or new HST which features a turbocharged 3.2 engine.

The delaying factor is that Land Rover want one type of turbocharger and Volvo want a different, they need to find a turbocharger suitable for both applications.

But from what I have been told, the 'hot' Freelander 2 will have 20" wheels, Brembo brakes and the looks to scare off everything else in it's class.

I sure hope they build this as I will for sure buy one!! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Drop it 100mm, stick an HST body kit on it and call it a Freelander Sport. Hmm. Does't have the same ring to it as a RRS. Nor the off road ablility! Laughing 09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Apparently not, if the car goes ahead, it will have proper airdams and bigger rear bumpers etc, not just an add on kit like the HST. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
