Guest Demonmk2 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 yeah well when u think about a 2l pinto can get 20 130hp in mods fairly easly aye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 exhaust, a port, a cam and a re-jet will see 130hp. I call that pretty easy. easier than trying to fit a fuckin honda engine in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest escort_boy Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 and aslo a lot cheaper as well :D:D for a student, a 2l is a good upgrade that aint gonna cost the earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esky boi Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Exactly!! Dont stuff round trying to fit a 130 hp front wheel drive engine - its just not worth the effort. Im sure ive said this before, but i'll say it again: Just put a pinto in it, with the amount you save on a big conversion, you could probably get 200 hp out of it. Being a student I take it you wouldnt have the money, but yea, was just letting you know anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Demonmk2 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 well im a bloody good saver so im guessing a 2l pinto conversion wouldnt take to long how far are you up to escort boi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 the MKV is the heavist cortina.. I think from memory it's around 1250-1300 kgs... all that extra comfort and padding and shit. the MK1 & 2 are 700-800 just like an escort. If you want to know exactly then just put your car on the weigh bridge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddie W Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 A manual I have lists the MK4 Cortina 4 door as 1020kgs with the 1300 motor. I would guess the 2 litre would be maybe 50 kgs up on that. Is the mk5 really a lot heavier? Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
