engine codes - identifying an engine

[pjw]

Can some please give me some guidance as how to work out the CC of an engine? Is it done by the engine code, and if so does anyone know of a chart or guide to working out what the size is from the code?

Thanks in advance for any replies. Paul.

CC as in cubic centimetre?... the volume of a cube measuring 1×1×1 cm... This basically is the volume of each cylinder, the radias of cylinder and stroke length...

That was a pretty poor attempt at sarcasm.

I meant is there a way to work out the CC of my engine through its engine code.

If its a Saxo engine all Iron blocks are 1.6. If its a short alloy block its 1 or 1.1 and a tall alloy block is 1.4. You can also look at the cars vin plate as it is printed on there.

O unless its a oil burner then iron block is 1.5

For example:

TU9 = 0998cc (Saxo poverty spec lol)
TU2 = 1294cc (S1 Rallye)
TU3 = 1360cc (1.4 XSi, Quiksilver lump etc)
TU5 = 1587cc (VTR, VTS, C2 VTS, C2 GT, 307, 206, S2 Rallye, 1.6 XSi etc)

That's for TU series engines (found in Saxo's). Basicaly it's TU (Engine family) followed by the second number of the displacement. TU5 for instance is TU family, 1587cc.

TU9 is 0998cc (or whatever it is). Etc etc

Is not the S1 rallye a TU24? I think the old 1.3s were TU2 like in the AX sport and 1.3 205 Rallye.

Pretty sure it's a TU2J2 buddy. J2 refers to 2 valves per cylinder; J4 = 4 valves. Hence TU5J2 is VTR lump, TU5J4 is VTS lump.

Thanks. VIN plate not much of a help as i think its had an engine change to a 1600 8v but not declared. Just need to sort it asap.

Gret info.
