2 Litre XR2 through Hatfield Tunnel

[TheAndy937]

is this in warrington ?

[Oranoco]

@TheAndy937 - No mate, Hertfordshire, about 15 miles or so outside of London

[bigbollocks69]

mine made 141bhp with 1.6cvh management 2.0 injectors and unpluged the air temp sensor to richen it up

[Oranoco]

We're talking bike carbs here so I'm not sure of the relevence. I'm also not even partky convinced such a setup would work

[jimikestell1]

i thought bye webbers you ment webbed carbs like twin 40's ect

[Oranoco]

Webber do all sorts from carbs through throttle bodies to full engine management systems and a whole host of bits in between

[jimikestell1]

thought it was only the diesil 2.0 that has 130bhp,

should have got an rs2000 engine there 150 stock., how can you make webbers dont they normally just have a dizzy

[Oranoco]

Nope, 2litre silvertop Zetec is 130bhp. RS2000 motor (the I4) could be done but it's a far heavier unit and is much more difficult to install. I don't quite follow on the Webbers comment but I think you're assuming they only make carbs unless I'm mistaken?

[jimikestell1]

2.0 zetecs are usually 150bhp you could get it to 200bhp with cams and a remaped ecu

[Oranoco]

Nope 2litre Zetec's are normally 130bhp, it now makes a genuine 160bhp with fast road cams, 4-2-1 manifold, bike carbs and Mega Jolt. The engine only made 175 bhp when it was in an XR2i track car with fast road cams and a custom mapped Webber engine management system. 200bhp from cams and remap is at best excessively hopeful

nice mod

[RBMarshall26]

no offence its a quick and great sounding car but its a tad flat for a 2litre enit?

[Oranoco]

None taken, as explained earlier it was runnig using Fords ESC module as a temp fix until the Megajolt arrived and it all set up. We've gained an extra 30bhp with that now on and there is more to come once a more suitable cam setup has been added

[BRKmaddox]

more torque though

[rods24]

I wonder who this could be lol

[xr2badboy]

just wondering what bhp have you got out of the zetec and what bike were the carbs off of

[Oranoco]

We had it on th erollers yesterday at Torque of The Devil and it made 117bhp, It's running Ford's ESC module as a temp fix which we are in the process of addressing. We are hoping to see 170bhp. Can't tell you what the carbs are from as I know nothing about bikes, they're what Bogg Brothers supplied.

[Mimpling]

have the carbs been setup? the 2.0 zetec is about 130bhp standard. sure its not running lean? it will be if the carbs havnt been drilled out

[Oranoco]

The problem at present lies with the fact we have been using a Ford ESC module to control the ignition. Th ecar now has Mega Jolt and a temporary map until next Tuesday when it is getting mapped properly. Time will tell what we then have to play with but even on a base map it has improved massively

[johnlovincosworth]

sorry ive just read it. its zetec i know. good little car , but i still prefer your rs turbo. That was a little gem !!!!!!

[johnlovincosworth]

what 2.0 litre engine is in this ??
