Zetec and IVa
Hey guys,
Hope you might be able to help, my build is going to be a fairly long term project, due to the limited anount of time i will have to spend on it, and because of this, iv been researching on here about engine options.
I am liking the (much tried) Zetec route. Its not the most exiting option, but im after reliablilty and a good shove of power which is why im prefering this over a Pinto.
But my question is this:
I have got the impression that a Pinto is a lot easier to get through the emissions on the IVA.
I am planning on going on a Q plate if this makes a difference, but what i would like to do is get the engine i will be keeping in the car, i dont really fancy spending all the time and effort fitting a Pinto, to then have it back in my garage swapping to a Zetec, as due to the time i will be spending it would take me a little while to do so.
So are Zetecs as hard as im thinking to pass the IVA?
I will be going with a pre 95 so no cat or ecu to worry about, so most probably the bike carb route will be taken, as it seems fairly well priced.
Would a bike carb'd Zetec have trouble with an IVA regarding emissions?
Many thanks in advance
