ok, car is a XR2i 16v. Not done much to the engine, just back box, air filter and 2L throttle body. Im planning on getting the MAF from a 2L. Questing i need answering do i need a cat on a 92 plate car?

basicly what chip do people think i should use. What kinda spec cams should i be looking at to get. And what do i do about the fueling as most people say 145bhp is the max for the injectors. I do have 2L injectors but i wanna know if i can use them and see a gain.

any other ideas, i have what u have on that site

your xr2i is 1.8 zetec with 105ps the rs1800 is the same engine but with 130ps. So if you put rs1800 cams, rs1800 maff and an rs1800 ecu on yours then you will 130 ps (128bhp). i had an rs1800 engine before my 2.0 and they are pretty nippy.

ok, i got the 2L throttle body, i have a 2L cams, but i dont know how good condition they are. Im not going to put new cams in only to take them out a month later for higher lift cams.

The maff, would a 2L mondeo one be any better.

the 2l maff is bigger in bore size than the rs1800 one so it probably is better. im running one on my 2.0 but where it is bigger means you need bigger piping to actually fit it.

4 branch manifold mate. On my car I used a CVH one, had the flange cut off and a zetec one welded in it's place.

Made a huge difference.

[simon16v]

so im guessing u did the welding yourself, what type of welder did u use. Also would it just bolt onto my exgaust system and would i need to ditch the cat?

[Xr_Dub]

this might sound crazy bit i was thinking about this


a 2.9 or the 2.5 capri engine in ure xr2i

i have heard of 1 been done! need to do more reserach onit though

[jdfiesta]

for 150bhp from the 2.9, no thanks, after all the messing about and that, he might aswell turbo the zetec

No mate, I gave my local engineers a Zetec exhaust manifold gasket - they made a copy of that on 15mm steel and welded it onto the manifold.

£30 + manifold - you can get it done for £100 all in. You can keep the cat if you wish.

ok thanks, i do have a de-cat, but MOT is due in a few weeks, and not 100% on the law. I know i dont need it working due to it being a 92 K plate, but i wanna know, does my car need one fitted but not working? if you get me.

[Max209]

i'm pretty sure u will need a cat on ure exhaust dont know the law about it workin as i was talkin to my Drivin instructor about my car ( i know ) but he basically said if i get a new exhaust for it to keep my old one as it'll fail the MOT without the cat and i got a 87 fiest mk 2 so u probs will need one

[simon16v]

your car doesnt need a cat, [ERRR] it wasnt made with one.

Is there any sites that can point me in the right direction?

[Max209]

i dunno bout n e sites but u could phone up the place where ure gettin ure MOT done couldnt ya and ask them sure they would have no probs lettin ya know
