I have recently fitted the 2 litre into my si, and i am impressed with the performance, but i raced a mate in his 16v xr2i last night and didn't beat him by a long way (which i should really with 25bhp extra!). Just wondering what the problem is? Gearbox? Engine? How can i find out? Stick it on the rolling road and see what happens?

I have a XR2i 16v, I would of through u shouold of at least kept up with him.

Firstly, what kinda condition is your engine in. I mean i change the oil every 5k miles with 0W-40 oil. I got mine tuned to make 115 bhp @ 5250 revs and also making alot of torque at the bottom end of the rev range.

Have you given it a full service, did u fit the mondeo gear box, are either cars modded.

Lots of questions to u, but i do think u should give it a full service ( would guess u have ) put it on a rolling road and get the thing tuned. ( power engineering was 175 quid with VAT ).

I did beat him, just not by a long way! Think a unichip and a rolling road session is needed.......

Ur not gonna waste him with an extra 0.2 of a litre difference. Youve got a bigger/heavier engine to, plus urs has more potential with the bigger capacity.

Uhhh, Sphinx, that's a load of old pony and you know it mate

First, the 2.0L is lighter than the 1800 - less metal, similar block casting.

Next up, the Zetec engines produce power based on cam and head spec more than displacement (which is how the CVHs did their thing). The 2.0L should produce 136bhp on standard management and around the same amount of torque - the 130ps 1800 is around 128bhp/120ft lbs, and the 105ps XR2i 16v engine is around 103bhp/105ft lbs torque.

If you're running proper 130ps management and it's set up right, you should feel a noticeable kick in the pants and the exhaust note should change (become more brittle-sounding) as you hit 4,000rpm.

sphinx got in trouble, sphinx got in trouble!

depends how long the stretch of road was, mate kept up with me till 60ish in his 2i 16v against my turbs when it was running 170bhp(17`s on tho), after that i cained him lol, you`ll find it mainly noticable at high speeds, turbo just keeps goin like a train all the way, 2i 16v doesn`t lol...

I know u lot ent talkin bout exhausts but iv asked loadsa different rooms n no1 has replied yet. I want a de cat pipe for my SI but ent got dat much money to spend as insurance is nearly due. Sum1 told me i could get a down pipe off a diesel fiesta [ERRR] they ent got cats? Is this true n will it work, how much more power will i be looking at?

Thanx Hopefully one of u will reply!

[denzul]

just buy a second hand one from a scrap yard and knock out that and weld a pipe in instead

[adi_gz]

Yeah i thought of dat but it wud just be easier to get one off a diesel. I tink i'l just go get one n find out,[ERRR] no1 has tried dis yet!
