they are both cvh but the xr2 is good ol' carb and the xr2i is efi (fuel injection)

XR2 = carb
XR2i = injection

Same engine, different fueling methods

_________________

right okay. people seem to prefer carb, guessing that's old school compared to fuel injection? if anyone can send a link to apage where it explains it that will do me dont want to minder too much, just want to learn and understand!

thanks danny and lou so far

Carb will need tuning... and will prob cause problems down the line imo

Personally, efi... better reliability.

Yeah efi would be better

efi it you slag!

lol you lot your making me wet with all this cvh tuning talk

id go for efi mate, the card version has a few cons

carbs require annual maintinance, offer slightly less power, can go wrong more often, bad emissions which could effect your mot

but the good points is, theyre cheaper, easier to fit as theres no ecu and very little engine loom involved and still a good engine

as stated

CVH EFI

Cams
4 branch
exhaust
induction kit

then listen to the burble

oh a decat be a must

nothing quite like the sound from no cat, raw and raspy, mine pops and bangs like a slut when its cold (sadly only when its cold )

cat or no cat - cvh exhaust noise is the tits

lol thats because they never come fitted with a cat

EDIT

CVH 1.4 si did

hang on a minute petrol ... you said he would stuggle to pass an MOT with a carb cvh and you tell him to decat an efi cvh ? firstly you said ' de-cat is a must ' then you said ' they didnt come with a cat ' so that doesnt make sense and 2nd you said he would struggle to pass an mot with a carb'd cvh .. well all cvh's ( apart from the 1.4cvh ) didnt have a cat so he would fail no matter what he chose HOWEVER mot emissions go on the co2 levels from the engine not the car. so if the engine from a 1.6 efi cvh produces 'n' amount co2 in a xr2i its going to do the same in an Si so it will pass. otherwise modern cars with older engines wouldnt have MOT's

if the engine is pre 92 i think no cat is required

Retro fit a cat on an rst, that would last all of 2 minutes before it gets blown to pieces,

FEED ME MORE!!!!

like having a cossie lump in a mk6 fiesta - engine is pre 92 so no cat i believe

exactly its all based on the CO2 levels the engine produces YB powered mk6 van FTW !!! ... i may throw in the fact my xr2 engine comes with a very small price tag and a brand new k&n for it included

lmao all this talk! what price tag sameth?

glad i have options now, thought it was either rs turbo or 2.0l mondeo route... xr2i or xr2 sounds awesome. ill have a good HARD think about it.

Best way to do it is good and hard...

Cvh engine will be much easier as it's just a slightly bigger version of yours
