Rover 75 1.8auto
what can be done to increase power on a rover 75 1.8 auto? my fathers car and hes piss"d off that its so slow!
Thanks Rich |
Is it a turbo ?
|
its non turbo, non vvc, so about 120bhp going by rover figures. ive driven it a few times and its so slow, but i am a scooby owner :)
|
1.8 auto? What did he expect? The best way is to sell it and buy one with a proper engine
|
love ur reply topbanana, i told him to get the 2.5 but nooooooo daddy knows best lol and now he wants more go go. so how can it be done?
|
strap some rockets to the roof :norty:
seriously though, you won't be able to squeeze much more power from that engine |
just get shot before the head gasket goes (and that goes for the v6 as well)
|
Dont waste your time and money doing it.

thanks all Rich Cheers Lee |
to add.....
I used to own a 2.5V6 75 Auto and even that felt slow, the box likes to keep the revs low and the KV6 has little torque below 3500rpm so any performance required kickdown. The 2.0CDTi Auto may be the best bet if he want's to stay with the 75. Cheers Lee |

My dad has the ZT 190, quickish but he still wouldnt mind it quicker, my uncle has the v8, thats fairly fast but not ballistic.
120 bhp, auto, 1.5 tonnes, hmm drove a bmw 316 auto once, useless |
