Can someone please tell me how much torque both of the XR2i's produce please, as i own a 1.8i 16v and my mate owns the 1.6i and I just wondered which produces more torque!

Cheers

I'd say the 1.8 16v because of the larger engine capacity, but don't know any accurate figures.

Well ive got a 16v 2i and my bros got an 8v one, the 16v is loads more torqey than the 8v! cant you tell when you drive it?!

not sure on the figures but 16v one defo has more torque!

Cheers, Nick

Dont know about the torque, but the 8V is faster. (somehow)

Thats what I was thinking because of the bigger engine!

My mate and I pulled off from the lights and I was keeping up with him in his 8v which was rolling roaded at 120bhp!

But I am just trying to find out the torque for both of them to know for definate!

Mike :Dont know about the torque, but the 8V is faster. (somehow)

thats not true!, my 16v 2i is faster than my bros and ive only got an induction kit and his has a full system.

his has done 70k and mine has done 90k and mine is still pulls away!

1.6 XR2i 8v: 4cyl/1597cc, 110bhp, 0-60 in 9.0s & top speed of 118mph
1.8 XR2i 16v: 4cyl/1796cc, 105bhp, 0-60 in 8.9s & top speed of 113mph

by **DanS2i** on Tue Apr 15, 2003 6:38 pm

I'm sure that the top speed for the 16v can't be right as I am sure that it goes faster than that, not that I have driven my car that fast!!

Does anyone know where I could find the torque figure out then :-?

tom s - yeah i know there the same on paper pretty much, but mine is faster than my bro's

Yeah i dont think the figures are right. When i had an 8v xr2i, my mate got the 16v version and i had a go of his thinking that there would be nothing in it. Man did that thing pull!!!. We then raced and he had me easily!. I've now got a Zetec-S with exhaust, filter and chip and that thing seriously pulls too

. Had it on the rollers after the chip, got 115bhp with peak torque of 123lb.ft.

No offence to any owners of 8v 2i's here but i dont rate them much!. I dont find them very revable and i hate the lack of torque compared to Zetec engines. This is from experience of 3 xr3i's and an xr2i.

I agree Codey - I've owned them both - there's no comparison - the CVH is so 'fluffy' on the throttle - the Zetec is a much nicer drive and keeps on pulling where the CVH just gets' asthmatic.

by **Nick 2i** on Tue Apr 22, 2003 9:45 pm

wayhey some people agreeing with me on the 8v vs 16v 2i thing

for some reason everyone seems to think that 16v 2i's are really slow, but there not, i mean there not rapid or nothing but they are far from slow. The torque makes them soooo much more fun to drive than the 8v

ive driven both and i would defo have the 16v everytime even my bro (muttleymclad) says he would have mine and he has the 8v.

Thats exactly what made me get a 1.8 Zetec engine from a breakers and had the 1.6 CVH replaced in my old 2i. After i did, i was always then neck and neck with my mates 2i, but never was when i had the cvh. I love the Zetec engines, there just so torqy and rev happy
