hi all,
just wondering if the xr2 carb would replace the carb on my 1.6s and would it bring any performance increases?
thanks,

[~nomad~]

There is now carb on an xr2i. Its injection, hence the "i". Maybe you are thinking of the xr2 carb, in which case I have no idea.

[leafy1600]

oh dear....lol,
dunno what made me put the "i" on that!

yes i mean the xr2 as in the mk2 everyone...

*hangs head in shame or making that stupid mistake* lol

errrrr...... no, as it IS the carb of the xr2..... its the same engine isnt it? had some spare... used it in the new model for the "sport" variation.

yeah thats wot i thought, but i heard that an xr2 carb was a different 1
ah balls, i'll just go an have a look if i can find one in the scrappy to inspect.

I think the older carb on the XR2 provided 96bhp instead of the 90bhp the 1.6s and later XR2's had

Yer thats true if you can find one then you get an instant power increase for very little out lay, the problem is finding an old xr2 A-C reg and then finding it with a decent carb!

ah ha!

thanks guys, i thought it was something like that, wasn't sure wot reg xr2 i needed tho.
thanks

thing is those carbs are s**t for other things such as starting the car in cold etc.

[1600power]

all carb'd cars are s**t to start in the cold period m8! altho I've never had a problem with mine!

Yeah they utterly suck on cold mornings. But once they are warmed up they are fine and provide just as good a ride as injection engines
