mattsteele8 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have a westfield SE kit car that is powered by (i believe) a 1600cc Sierra Pinto engine which has been bored out to 1700cc. I would like to do some work on the engine but i don't know the year of manufacture of the engine or the actual verified model. Also i was wondering if the fact that it has been bored out would make any difference to any of the parts i.e. spark plugs, distributor etc. etc. The only information that i can find on the engine are the following numbers T20 T11M6015BA I would be very grateful if anyone could decipher any of the numbers above so that i can find out exactly which model / spec the original engine was Also when i do know the engine model i would also be grateful for any tips for how to up the performance. The car already has twin 40 carbs and a fast road (or rally) cam. Many thanks in advance for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The most common size for a pinto engine is 2L, they made 1.8s and 1.6s, but they were realatively rare it seems strange to bore out a 1.6 pinto to 1.7, when 2.0L is so common i think it is more likely that its a x-flow engine - the 1.7 overbore would make more sense post a picture of the engine if i cant tell you what it is someone else will! How to make it faster - stick Cosworth YB in it and tune it to 400 - 500Hp with the (light) weight of the Westfield should have an "adequate" turn of speed!

btmaldon Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I think that should be 711M6015BA. Are you sure its an overhhead cam Pinto engine. The T19 castings were used on Mk2 Cortinas which were overhead valve engines. I guess the T20 casting was used no later than the early Mk 3 Cortinas.
