I'd have thought the 2.2 petrol would be faster overall over the dti 2.2 and the 3.2 most certainly 

Drive over & I'll show you some black smoke

You must drive an MX5 then, or be H21..............

Andy.
You really need to de-cat & remove a muffler from your's. This allows the gases to flow & the flat spot that you speak of in the higher revs almost goes
Mines pulls right up to high revs with ease

Already De-cat'd mine and Mrs VXL's estate  it does free it up, motorway cruising speeds are effortless

Have a slight different way of doing it next time Andy

I still think the autobox is the right thing to have in a 3.2 elite.  It just makes the whole driving experience so effortless and smooth.

Totally agree

I've run out of DTi's to de-cat now! 

Top job you did on our's

As it happens. I offered to de-cat Andy's DTi along time ago
I just didn't & couldn't find any pipe

Though I'm sure you did a fine job As always

I think the 3.2 is over geared personally. I wasn't sure there was much difference when the 4.2 went in. But having fitted a 3.9 lsd, having been told it was a 4.2 LSD I certainly noticed the loss of oomph.

Should be rectified soon ish though.

Multi rams working I take it...?

How do you pass M.O.T's?

I would say the cats have had the innards removed plus IIRC its only a visual smoke test on the older diesels

If I had the chance I would swap my desmond diesel for my 2.5 diesel in a flash but saying that the desmond is nearly as good as the 6 pot BMW diesel

[Jabe]

Oh yeah

So gutting out a V6 won't do it any good? Has anyone tried passing an emissions test with a de-cated V6?

[Jabe]

On paper the 2.2 engines aren't to shabby. 206ft torque @ only 1600rpm which is almost identical to the torque from a 3.0 V6 @ half the power band. However with only 120bhp its not that attractive either.

On the flip side with a good remap the 2.2 would reach 145bhp / 250ft which will definitely give the V6's a run for their money then
