is my engine 89bhp or 98bhp

[MidlandVtr]

im new to this forum so im sorry if this question has already been asked but what bhp is my engine, its a mark 2, w reg with the cat under the car does that mean its got the earlier engine?? any help appreciated

[landy]

90bhp.

[MidlandVtr]

cheers

[Yates]

how many plugs u got in your ecu? 3 - 98, 1 - 90

[Luke]

If it's a W reg mate, you'll have the MK1 engine in it which produces 90bhp.

Like Matt said about the ECU - 1 Plug = 90bhp and 3 Plug = 98bhp.

[MidlandVtr]

how do i see what plug the ecu is then??

[vtscotty]

if its got rectangle front lights its 90 if its got bug eye lights its 98!

[Scott]

doesnt matter, cats under the car its a single plug ecu its a 90bhp engine.

[vtscotty]

did the mk1 vts come with 1 plug like the vtr mk1

[Japman]

90 bhp mate

[Yates]

if its got rectangle front lights its 90 if its got bug eye lights its 98!

thats wrong

and yes there is a mk1 vts with a ecu with 1 plug same as the mk1 vtr i think

[vtscotty]

rite so the vtr mk2 has a 3 plug ecu and an xtra 8 bhp and the mk 2 vts has a 3 plug ecu but is the same bhp, why?

[Yates]

mk2 vtr and vts arent the same bhp

mk1 vtr - 90
mk2 vtr 2000 - 90
mk vtr 2001+ - 98bhp

all vts are 120bhp, sure the mk1s are 1 plug ecu and the mk2 are 3 plug ecu

[vtscotty]

I no the vts and the vtr arnt the same bhp, you missed my point, i am saying that the mk2 vtr has a 3 plug ecu and an xtra 8 bhp on the mk 1 and the mk 2 vts has a 3 plug ecu but is the same bhp AS THE MK 1 VTS 1 plug, why dose it not give the vts mk2 more power?

[saxoash]

mk2 vtr and vts arent the same bhp

mk1 vtr - 90
mk2 vtr 2000 - 90
mk vtr 2001+ - 98bhp

all vts are 120bhp, sure the mk1s are 1 plug ecu and the mk2 are 3 plug ecu

wrong

Mk2 vtr manufactured after september 2000 are 98bhp

[CampDavid]

wrong again. Build date makes the difference, not reg date, citroen hold stuff in stock for ages sometimes.

[Bri_vtr]

My vtr is a 2000, MK2 shell and mk1 engine, still as fast as my mates mk2 saxos.

[vtscotty]

Maybe his has a mk1 engine as well!

[saxoash]

98bhp engine:

Cat in manifold
Oil filter on righ thand side
3 Plug ECU
Dip stick on left hand side

[paul_vtr666]

My friend has a '99 vtr. 98bhp engine which is the silvertop. Blacktop is 90bhp which was made '97 to early '98. Never mind all this stuff about ecu's. Just look at the colour of the lump in the car!!

[williamsvts]

lol, such a simple thread but so many answers :P

[williamsvts]

paul - thats bollocks. does that mean my blue vts is faster than my mates white vts?

[Barry123]

paul - thats bollocks. does that mean my blue vts is faster than my mates white vts?

think he said lump in the car:afro:

[williamsvts]

i know what he said, im taking the piss coz he's talking poop :P

[Scott]

Still wrong anyway.

Blacktop - 90bhp
Silvertop (cat under car, single plug ecu) - 90bhp
Silvertop (cat in downpipe, 3 plug ecu) - 98bhp

[Barry123]

i know what he said, im taking the piss coz he's talking poop :P

my mistake :oops: :)

[paul_vtr666]

I stand corrected..... Didnt realise there was so many variations. I was convinced that only mk2 had cat in manifold, regardless of engine etc

[Lee_P]

heres my understaning for VTR cat in manifold 98 bhp cat under car 90 is that right?

[Scott]

Still wrong anyway.

Blacktop - 90bhp
Silvertop (cat under car, single plug ecu) - 90bhp
Silvertop (cat in downpipe, 3 plug ecu) - 98bhp

END.......
