What sort of power did the xr2 engine have? Like bhp etc?


Thanks

[MikeyXR2i]

im pritty sure as standard the XR2 is 96 BHP

[Stoned]

Earlier models were 96bhp, later models were 90bhp due to a different carb.

[Stoned]

Yes

bhp differs from proper cvh head to lean burn heads, early heads were proper hemi heads and flowed better, and easier to flow when modded, and gave 5-6 bhp over lean burn varient as standard

aaahh, i didn;t know that about the earlier heads.
so i stuck an earlier (a-c reg) carb and the earlier head on my 1.6s i'd be looking roughly another 10bhp u reckon?

urm, lol i`ve just got up, i can`t remember the cross over dates, i hope u aint fitted a early head to lean burn engine, you`ll be down on compression, or mite just be injection its late and i`ve just got up, lol max power knackered me out

did u have flat top pistons? was the head u fitted lean burn/heart shaped combustion area in the head?

[leafy1600]

ooops, my bad...
that was sposed to be IF i stuck an earlier head on.

if u have flat top pistons u need lean burn head, if u have domed pistons u need proper cvh head
