I was really curious how much power produces my stock 2,5. I was rather sceptical to the results especially if you consider 150K km mileage, significant compression drops on 2 cylinders, internal oil leaks. But seeing the results I'm very satisfied, look at this torque curve Whaddya say?

Internal oil leaks, where and how did you find them?

"Just edited a reply to Jol.."


P,Torque curve is typical of a std 2.5 engine...Its what makes the little engine such a jewel!
We all tend to run and stick big capacity engines into our cars.Yes,its nice having the extra punch,but its not a jewel like the little engine..Have been driving a boggo std. 2.5 for the week now,just realised again what a nice little engine it is..

Power is very linear

Barry, in europe 2.5 is big engine
Litle engines have 800 - 1300 ccm

...and only european car manufactures have small engines with equal HP to "bigger the better"-USA car manufactures.

lol. ye you mean the fact that for example a 3 litre european engine makes similar power to a 15 litre big big big block U.S engine lol.
