I recently purchased a 2.2dci Almera. Its a 2004 Van. Factory rated a 126-140bhp and I don't doubt it. Its crazy with that turbo. So I'm wondering why there not more popular?

Cause its an Almera?

Nissan don't even list them on their website anymore. Perhaps they were simply too good/fast?

What alternative is there to a VW for around 8k euro in a van? Diesel, preferably tdi?

0-100km/h in 11.5s. Is that good for a 2.2l?

BTW it's 112BHP

You'd get more from a low power 1.6 petrol.

Nah , thatd be about right for a 1.6

100-120 bhp

I would consider that high power for a "low" power 1.6! .. unless youre talking VTEC and BZR etc etc

Its 112bhp on the old engine. 136bhp on the new, 0-100kmhr is 9s. Not bad for a diesel

I stand corrected so. The newer engine is indeed a lot more powerful. 0-100km/h in 9s is not bad at all for a van!

Quick?
