Ax gt or vtr engine?

[samclose]

Which engine is better the ax gt or the vtr one

[Quick]

Gt - carb
R - injection

All depends on your defination of better, the R is a more modern engine (in its later form), giving better mpg. GT gives more power per cc.

Ax gt is a very old 1.4. I would not bother putting one in a saxo. Vtr is much newer fuel injected 1.6.

Vtr engines are a dime a dozen but are even starting become less commonly available now

I'd hate to have to sour e parts for an ax gt lump

[monka]

neither, the 1.6 xsi/rallye lump gotta be the best 8v tu about

i put a 1.4gt lump in my old 1.0 ax, was very nippy! prefered it to my vtr saxo owned. Felt faster, ax is a lighter car though.

My axgt was awesome :D

I traded it in for a brand new standard vtr

Vtr felt so flat..

Anyway.. As above... 1.6 xsi/s2 rallye lump is the ultimate really. Unless you want to go s1 1.3 rallye lump

[moony]

yeah vtr is very flat, prety boring to drive. The axgt was awesome! sounded mint with a 4-2-1, straight through pipe and scorpion backbox.

[scottie_436]

Mine had headwork, matched and ported inlet, flowed and rejetted carb, k+n filter, 421 manifold, scorpion system, spax adjustables, omp drilled and grooved discs, m1144 pads, braided hoses

Was like a gokart :p

Did you not mean the AX GTi lump which was 100bhp, multipoint injection.

Saying that, the AX GT carb engine made for a slightly quicker AX.

I'd say the AX Sport 1.3 twin carb engine trumps the lot but ultra rare.

[scottie_436]

Ax gti lump was same as the s1 xsi wasnt it?

[blackie_2k5]

twin carbs made the girls wet..

[axsaxoman]

and i can supply a manifold which will take idf /IDA, downdraft carbs or t/bodies
alfa flat 4 engine i think was last car fitted with IDF,s as std
and from memory std chokes and jets were fairly close

[axbob]

id love to say ax gt all the way but deffo not in a saxo and vtr is just newer and less problems setting up!
