daz_g Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I bought a 2l zetec engine some time ago from a partfinder site - i specificly asked for a pre 95 non cat type. Now i'm having doubts on the age of it - the engine number is nga wl39089n does the ng or the wl refer to the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big R Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi the WL refers to the date - unfortunately it means Jan 1998 - sorry to be the bearer of bad news............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz_g Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thanks, at least i know now Is it worth me continuing with this engine or will the emissions be too much of a problem ? I don't know a great deal about these engines, i've just been playing it by ear so far. Would i have to change the exhaust i've bought or just replace the silencer ?

thos Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 You can get silencers with a CAT in, Westfield do one, and Raceline do one also. Are you planning on running injection or carbs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz_g Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Injection - was going to leave standard ford injection unit and then upgrade to TB's at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thos Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Bung a cat in and you should be fine on emissions then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny's Westie Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 There's a link on my web page to the age identifiers for Ford engine numbers. Maybe useful. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
