Has anyone else herd of the new 190PS oil burner the insignia is getting!!!

[Stevie-B]

Apparently the tourer will get 2 new engine line ups. A 2ltr 'Bi-turbo' oil burner capable of 190ps and a 1.6t capable of 160PS.....

Will also be launched on the hacth/saloon next year!!!!

The 2.0 Twin Turbo diesel has been on the cards from day one, it is in effect a development of the 1.9 CDTTi found in the Saab 9-3.

We get this engine in June next year, and will be available with front wheel drive and 4 wheel drive.

The 1.6T I think will be a stormer, its actually 180PS and very tunable to 240bhp.

Isnt it the same lump thats in the Corsa SRi and VXR?

[john_k_sri]

I believe it is, yes. And the Insignia 2.0 turbo petrol is a detuned version of the current Astra VXR engine. All about emissions I would think. The trend across mainstream manufacturers is towards smaller turbocharged petrol engines.

[Penfold101]

Are the diesels new lumps or developments of the current F**t units...?

wow...

[john_k_sri]

Has already been said on here they are 'developments' of the existing units with a different turbo, increased power output and some changes to the internals.

Hopefully they've told Pierburg where to stick their poxy EGR and swirl flaps.
