perksy Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 x/flow See You've made ya mind up what'll be powering the new westy mate Quote
oioi Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 it would be as unreliable as a K series (mentioned above - *sniggers*). i may or may not have been taking the p1ss, just felt it needed adding for completeness Quote
oioi Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 And a Millington block YB is also very light, just like your wallet would be Still want one though was fondling just such a beast the other day. the head was a work of art Quote
Blatman Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 The K series in a Se7en is only unreliable if you dangler up the cooling system. Get it right and it's a perfectly acceptable engine providing it's built properly with the right bits... Quote
Mark Stanton Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 QUOTE cheese and onion please Mark Sorry Matt don't do cheese - makes me wretch and throw up Smoky Bacon Good ere innit Quote
perksy Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Found it! go to www.westfield-world.com (sorry, I dont know how to do clickys) and look at the engine comparison page. Duratec is quoted as 97kgs., and the XE 2.0 as 120kgs. I guess that is without ancillaries, but whatever I think it is comparing like with like. The Duretec is all ally, the XE is cast iron block and ally head. If you have an ally block XE of course it is a different story, but aren't they expensive as well? This one might go on for a bit Mark Stephen Quick look on Migweb and it's saying the XE Does weigh 120kgs BUT that's 'Fully dressed' with Manifolds etc Be nice to get a definitive answer though Quote
StuartMackay Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Any Nuts and Raisins available, Mark? Quote
stephenh Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I dunno Perksy, all I do know is that the 2.0 duratec in the factory demonstrator goes so quick in any gear and at any revs from 1750 to 7250 that I just had to have one. I'm not knocking the XE, its just getting a bit long in the tooth now, and IMHO it's time to make way for the new kid on the block and thats the duratec. No question. Quote

Get it right and it's a perfectly acceptable engine providing it's built properly with the right bits... In my book 'perfectly acceptable' doesn't include having to rebuild the motor before installation - unless you wish too . If you are going to give a 'K' some stick, you would be a fool not too - because you will probably end up doing it anyway. Just with more damage Quote
