detoxed engine.

(1/2) > >>

smith335:
hope some one can help,
 i have a very early 90 2.25 petrol and after checking engine numbers mine comes up as 11Hxxxxxx   90/110 petrol 2286cc 8:1 CR (detoxed)
what does the detoxed bit mean?
does it mean it can run on unleaded?

look forward to your replies.

lukeLR90:
never heard that before!!! maybe it means that its nice and clean on the inside?!! :grin:

ian_s:
its something to do with the emissions, basically to make the engine pass emissions they detuned it slightly

smith335:
so if they de-tuned it, does that mean i can re-tune it and get a little more out of it?

do you think it might have some thing to do with recycling exhaust gas or engine breathers?

cheers

kizz81:
it possibly might be simular, mine was very very close to failing the emissions and the cylinders were well worn

cheers kieran
