==Model range== {{unreferenced section|date=September 2023}} ===1100=== [[File:156 - 1993 blue Rover Metro Quest, engine bay with 1.1 carburator Rover K-series engine (2).jpg|thumb|1.1-litre carburettor engine in [[Rover Metro]] Quest]] All '''1100''' engines displace {{convert|1113|cc|L cuin|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} with bore X stroke of 75 mm Γ 63 mm. Four variations were created: *SOHC K8 8-valve, Carburettor, {{convert|60|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *SOHC K8 8-valve, SPI, {{convert|60|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *SOHC K8 8-valve, MPI, {{convert|60|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, {{convert|75|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} Cars that came with the 1100: *[[Rover Metro]] *[[Rover Metro|Rover 100]] *[[Rover 200]] *[[Rover 25]] ===1400=== [[File:K-Series Engine.JPG|right|thumb|1.4-litre [[DOHC]] K-series engine in a [[MG ZR]]]] Engine Codes: 14K2F (8V), 14K4F (16V), 14K16 (16V)? All '''1400''' engines displace {{convert|1396|cc|L cuin|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} with bore X stroke of 75 mm Γ 79 mm (2.95 in Γ 3.11 in) and have DOHC, 16 valves and MPI. Six variations were created: *SOHC K8 8-valve, Carburettor, {{convert|75|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *SOHC K8 8-valve, SPI, {{convert|75|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *SOHC K8 8-valve, MPI, {{convert|75|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *DOHC K16 16-valve, SPI, {{convert|90|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, {{convert|83|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} *DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, {{convert|103|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} The K16 {{convert|82|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} variant is exactly the same as the {{convert|103|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} version, apart from a restrictive throttle body designed to lower the car's insurance group. This can be converted to the {{convert|103|hp|abbr=on}} model by changing to the unrestricted throttle body of a 103 engine. The {{convert|90|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} Spi features single-point fuel injection rather than the multi-point of the later engine. Cars that came with the 1400: *[[Rover Metro]] *[[Rover 100 series|Rover 100]] *[[Caterham 7]] *Rover 200 *[[Rover 25]] *[[Rover 400]] *[[Rover 400|Rover 45]] *[[Rover Streetwise]] *[[MG ZR]] *[[MG ZS (2001)|MG ZS]] β Ireland and Portugal only *[[Caterham Seven]] *[[GTM Libra]] *[[GTM K3]] *[[FSO Polonez|FSO Polonez Caro/Atu]] *[[Reliant Scimitar SS1#Sabre|Reliant Scimitar Sabre]] ===1600=== Engine Code: 16K4F All '''1600''' engines displace {{convert|1588|cc|L cuin|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} with bore X stroke of 80 mm Γ 79 mm (3.15 in Γ 3.11 in) and have DOHC, 16 valves and MPI.
