Good luck with the sale.

It's a 16v motor that shoehorns into these and they become right little weapons. 1.8 or 2.0, i can't remember.

1800 VVC.

160hp straight out the box.

Depends which VVC engine you get.

Pre MG-F trophy the K series VVC was 143bhp. With the trophy they switched from Mems 1.9 to 3, more aggressive map, better headwork and a few other breathing mods to get it to 160bhp. Great engine, shame as N/A the VVC mechs limit it to 185bhp.

 

[cat171]

I was on about the VVC engine in the orginal MGF, 143 then.

 

[Bluebeard]

I was on about my 1999 Rover Coupe! lol

 

[Nick_P]

Tbh it doesnt matter which one you get, torque is the same on both. Slower can be modded up to 160 spec for not alot either.

 

[ChrisD172]

That looks like my first car, looks very tidy, rare these days, good luck with the sale!!

And the whole front end off an mg-f will go on a tro/r100

Always wanted to VVC mine

The dude who bought my Runabout (mine wasa kensington the posh one ) Now sports an MG ZR160 lump with cams and full decatted exhaust.
