Which one will ever have better performance if I had engine remap from Celtic tuning
1.9 Multijet 150 up to 207bhp & 312lb/ft but lighter than 2.0 Multijet
2.0 Multijet 165 up to 205bhp & 330lb/ft but more heavier
my mate thinks 1.9 will be more accelerate because of more bhp and lighter

Hi,
Not enough information. You also need to consider gear ratios (including wheel/tyre size) and Power/Torque curves.

2.0 also has a dpf to deal with.

Oh I hate the DPF!:devil:

A DPF doesn't worry me, as i do a lot of miles. I've done 21 k since jan so far.

Get the 165!

The 1.9 and 2.0 are the same weight. They are the same engines. The 2.0 is bored but otherwise it's identical. If you can get a diesel without a DPF i would go for that.

No I don't think they are, the 1.6 and 2.0 are a completely different engine to the 1.9 to the best of my knowledge.

The 1.6 and 2.0 are the same block bored out to different sizes however.

I think that 1.9 has different gear ratio as 2.0. When I took test drive on 1.9 and drove the 2.0 later, I think the gear feels different way of change in different times on similar revs
Can anyone confirm if I am right? what is mph per 1,000 rpm in 6th gear in that 1.9 & 2.0?

1.9 has a five speed gearbox and 8 valves on the 120bhp model. six speed 16 valves on the 150 bhp model.
2.0 has dpf which is always a hassle no matter what some people say and a six speed gearbox and 16 valves.

The six speed gearbox is a gimick to make people think it's better and more economicall on the motorway which is false.

The 1.9 is better. simpler engine, just as powerful with a remap and more economical. (dpf is bad for fuel consumption)

I though six gear which gives out low rev mean less fuel and less friction is use than 5 speed but how much different rev compare in 5 and 6 gear for example at 70mph?

Very little I suspect, I suspect both have very similar top gear ratios.

Ok similar so it doesn't matter if have 5 or 6
I understand now then

More ratios in a gearbox means you can keep the engine at peak power/torque RPM for longer. This improves perfomance (if the ratios are selected for that). All else being equal a 6 speed car will be faster on a real road than a 5 speed. Be wary of just looking at the top gear ratio, It's not much good having a top gear good for 150MPH if there is such a gap between that and the next one down that you are out of the power band when you change (or you don't have enough power to get there). Ford tended to do that in the eighties, 2nd and 3rd so you got to 60 with good times and 5th for notional top speed, but not much good in the middle for overtaking. I've always found 50-80MPH times much more relevant on the road than 0-60 or top speed.
