x-30d. x-35d. x-40d. etc ....

All 6 cyl diesels 2993cc - but vastly different ratings for bhp & 'Torques' ...

anyone know if there is different h/ware involved - or totally achieved by ECU maps ?

Different amount of turbos for a start - the 3.0d has one twin-scroll turbo, the 35d and 40d have two. Cams and injectors are different too, probably the only common component is the 2993cc block.

Thx - suspected the Turbo(s) different, but hadnt thought about injectors - assumed the ECU squirted a bit longer !

...... so, not simply a case of swapping ECU's then

3.0 one turbo, 3.5d and 4.0 is the same engine with two turbos. 5.0D is with three turbos.

Even if the engine was the same you can't just swap the ECU as it's aligned to the EWS.

erm, it was said tongue in cheek - but out of interest, what's 'EWS' ?
