settle an argument for me please guys: what is the horse power and torque numbers for my disco ii's V8? (2000 model year)


my buddy says his stock jeep's straight 6 has me beat.


thanks

 

i think 217hp and 300 lb-ft,,,,


my 06 runicon jeep was 190 and 235 i believe

 

The 4.0 has 187 horspower at 4750 rpm's. The 4.6 is 217 horsepower at 4750 rpm's. The torque for the 4.0 is 250 at 2600 rpms.

ooops my bad. i was thinking the 4.6

 

I had a "high-output" I-6 Cherokee 5-speed. It was rated at 190 hp and 225 ft lbs torque. That thing could move pretty good, it didn't weight too much, especially before I put the lift on it.

 

so its 4.6 liter v-6 with 217 Hp and 300 ft/lbs at 2600 RPM?


what can i do to increase that w/o messing up my MPG?

 

There is not much you can do without spending a fortune onperformancemachine work, such as porting and polishing the heads or/and making it a stroker. There's no performance heads available like domestic v8's. You can put on some magnacorewires and performance plugs. If you have oversized tires like 265 or bigger you can install lower gears.

no the 4.6 is in the disco 2's.

the jeep is a 4.0L inline 6 rated at 190/235.

your 4.0L disco is 187/250.

you up on power, but also up on weight.

 

The 4.6L is ONLY in the 2003 and 2004 models. Not all Disco IIs.

 

right!
