vtr engine

  1. #1
    heard there are two different vtr's 90 and 100 bhp is this the only difference?
  2. #2
    the MK1 is around 90bhp, and the MK2 is 98-100BHP. There are the obvious loom differenes as well (bonnet, lights etc). MK2 also has different airbox, exhaust, and coilpack I believe but sure there are many many other things. These are just the ones I've noticed.

    not all mk2's are 98bhp, think they went to them when they changed engine spec in 2001, ie, 3 plug ECU, cat in downpipe etc.

    Mk1 silvertop is only 90bhp - see the stickies for more info.
    Only 2001+ 3 three plug ecu has the 98bhp engine.

    ah this is news to me, so its only the models with the cat in the mani? I thought it was just silvertops in general. Ive been living a lie!

    Yup, three plug ecu (cat in manifold 98bhp) has a different throttle body & air filter as well!
