which vtr...?

[furiomike]

how do i tell which vtr has the 90bhp engine, and which has the 98bhp one? and is there any real performance and fuel consumption difference?

[Baz]

CAT under car if its 90BHp and in manifold if its 98bhp, as for rest...someone who has had both will let you know in that

97-99; 90bhp - 0-60: 9.9 top end: 116 fuel: 36mpg
99-; 98bhp - 0-60: 9.1 top end: 120 fuel: 42mpg

but then again the above depends on how you drive it ^^;

Only the MPG depend on how you drive it

90bhp ECU unit has one large single connector
98bhp has 3 connectors on the ECU

Usually the old shape is the 90bhp, new shape is 98bhp although I think there was a point at the changeover period where some new models had the 90bhp engine in them.

2001 98bhp came into force as the only reason they beacme 98bhp was the emissions

wrong! :n: :p

my car was registered november 2000 and is 90bhp lol.... :evil:

depends really some w reg's have the 98bhp just depends what engines they had lying around at the time....

But i do believe they are all 98bhp from feb 2001..... but dont quote me on that. :y:

oh and mine is an X reg!

[Steve]

i care, thats why im asking the question you tard. id rather have 8bhp more and get 6mpg extra.

[WestyVTR]

there is not alot in it TBH mine is 90bhp model but with no cat exhaust from the down pipe & a piper cross filter it made 110bhp! the 98bhp model will make approx the same!? 8bhp is nothing its how u drive!

[SaxyDan]

So are the engine mechanically different or is it just a different ECU? In that case surely a re-map will negate any difference?

[WestyVTR]

ecu and the fat cat in the fanimold!!

[piperX]

the lamda sensor on manifold cover = 98bhp lamba sensor under manifold cover = 90bhp simple as A B C
