230e engine? Any lobang?

[Guest starnite]

HI All, I am driving a 200e 8v engine, looking to change to 230e... Any lobang?

Considering a total overhaul or just "upgrade". Any lobang deeply appreciated!

[Guest Mike]

hmm think getting the bock with 230 internals will be a cheaper option

[Guest mr w124]

have toyed with the idea too. either going to do a top overhaul or change to 230. pros are more power. but any cons? will we have to change to ignition coil n other stuff if we just change the 230 block?

[Guest starnite]

Pro is more power, smoother idlying. But I read from other posting that it will be higher FC? Dunno how it is true, but since higher cc, means higher FC. Another theory is that since it gives more power, u dun have to floor ur accelerator everytime u move off.. that will give u beter FC. Time to hit some serious research on this!

Will update more when I have done it!

[Guest Mike]

FCwill be better. like wat starnite mentioned, the 230 block has higher horse power nad torque so u need not floor it to move but the power increase is not so much

[Guest qes78]

actually,

According to the specs

the 230 seems to be more economical than 200

200 vs 230 vs 260

urban 10.9l vs 10.9l vs 12.4l /100km

90km/h 7.2l vs 7.1l vs 8.2l /100km

120km/h 8.9l vs 8.6l vs 9.9l /100km

[Guest Mike]

it is actually abit more economical with the bit of hp diff and torque diff
