I know that Topix can be wrong on many occasions, however, I've just realised that my 110 is stated as having a "2.4L DOHC HPCR DSL 140PS PUMA" engine.
I'm guessing this could just be the engine that is provided by Ford and is just listing it's capability before LR dump their map on the ECU. I think in the older Transits, the variable turbo was only an option on the 140bhp version. I'm sure it is on my Transit based Motorhome with the 140bhp 2.2 engine.

I don't think that 1PS equals 1BHP... My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk

It doesn't, but it's near as damn it.
1bhp is 1.01ps. Craig Rogers 2007 Puma 110 XS 2011 Evoque Coupe Dynamic Lux www.craigrogers.photography |

1 bhp = 0.74kw if I remember correctly.
I think the standard Transit when they had the 2.4 Puma engine only had 90bhp, there where then various options of which 140bhp was one, the main difference was the introduction of the variable turbo which both 2.4 and 2.2 Puma Defenders have. This is why I think the engine is probably supplied as the 140bhp variant. Craig Rogers 2007 Puma 110 XS 2011 Evoque Coupe Dynamic Lux www.craigrogers.photography |

On most of the earlier 2.4 engined variants you'd see something like "90T250" on the front doors... mine had "125T250" for instance. My understaning is that the first number is the PS (90/125/140 etc) and the second is the bodystyle.. 250 being a MWB/Medium Roof... '09 SVX #200 '10 Morphy Richards.. I mean Prius |

Its a Ford 140PS spec engine - which means it has the higher flow injectors, the Variable Geometry Turbo with ERA, oil spray jets (for the pistons) and a couple of other features.
The Land Rover calibration is 122bhp (in theory - but you will never see this on a rolling road).
