It was a nice piece of design and ahead of its time in some respects, but rather poorly implemented.frog wrote:What is so special about the HPI engine compared to the "normal" 2.0 16V ? 5 more HPs?
It has no real selling point other than being rare and therefore a challenge to fix!

Re: 406 HPI Estate
My understanding was that it had direct pez injection (running at high PSi) so was able to be more fuel efficient, although members on here never really expressed any positives in high MPG's.
The fuel pump itself was very expensive (circa £1,000.00) and was probably the downfall of most of these engines.

Re: 406 HPI Estate
Yes, proud to have kept it in great condition and not afraid of the challenge to keep it running!
Proves that if you maintain something properly it will stay in good condition.
The handbrake still works perfectly, only required minimal adjustment at service time.
