Turboarse Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I've got an R plate 1998 Escort Si 1.8. Does the Gti version have the same 1.8 engine as my car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yep . The only difference between them is the bodykit, wheels and interior . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4TT Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) look on the intake pipe/airbox, some SI's are 105ps and some are 115ps (same as gti) Edited June 29, 2005 by M4TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboarse Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yeah seems to be the 115. Thought so cos it does go pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
