speedster Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Greetings Everyone, i have just bought my very first Manta B. The shape of the car is pretty decent, however i feel that the engine is not in its best shape. On the documents of the car i see 66KW that sould be around 86-89 horse power or something like that. Now every single Manta B with this 2000 CIH engine i have checked, all of them got atleast 74-75KW that is equal to around 100-110HP and also eat only around 8-10 liter if driven in normal conditions. My manta ate around 15 liter / 100km when i brought it home and i have felt the lack of power also. (Gotta add that the car stood in a garage for 1 years so gotta get the engine together + 5 gang gearbox would help also) Any idear how come a 2 liter engine can only have ~85 HP (wich is documented on the papers of the car aswell)?

Kevin Abbott Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 It sounds like you have the early 2.0 CIH with a carburetor on it. The 2.0 CIH GTE had fuel injection so had slightly more power. Still rubbish for a 2.0 compared to the power delivered by a modern 1.0 engine but the manta engine is old and has a poor design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedster Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 This is it's engine. I belive this type of engine has injection (atleast definitely not a carburator ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Could be a Euro spec 2.0N (low compression engine) that someone's added fuel injection to later in the car's life perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Abbott Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 That's the code for an injection engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
