Editing Ford Pinto engine (section)

==={{anchor|2.0|TL20}} 2.0 (TL20)===
The {{cvt|1993|cc|L|1|order=flip}} was used in many Ford vehicles from the early 1970s. Due to its robustness and high tuning potential, it was often used as an aftermarket engine upgrade or base for building race and rally engines — not exclusively in Ford cars. The engine has bore of {{cvt|90.8|mm|in|2}} and {{cvt|77|mm|in|2}} stroke giving the displacement of {{cvt|1993|cc|L|1|order=flip}}.
It was manufactured in several variants:

====Low compression variant (TL20L)====
Three completely different LC variants of the 2.0&nbsp;L were produced.
One was used on the 1970–1982 Ford Taunus export version to Sweden — fitted with the Weber DGAV 32/32 carburetor and compression ratio lowered to 8.2:1 to meet the rigorous emission specifications; it delivered {{cvt|64|kW|HP|0}} of power and {{cvt|140|Nm|lbft|0}} of torque.
The second one was used on 1978–1991 [[Ford Transit]]s and P100 models. With modified induction and Motorcraft 1V carburetor, it produced {{cvt|57|kW|HP|0}} of power and {{cvt|156|Nm|lbft|0}} of torque available at only 2800&nbsp;rpm. The compression ratio in this case was also 8.2:1. The Transits also used the third variant called the "Economy" engine. The power figure of this one was even lower — it developed only {{cvt|43|kW|HP|0}}.

Applications:
* 1970–1982 [[Ford Taunus]] Sweden export version (engine code NA)
* 1978–1994 [[Ford Transit]] (engine codes NAT, NAV, NAW, NAX, NBA)
* 1988–1993 [[Ford P100]] (engine code NAE)
* 1977–1986 [[Ford Transit]] "Economy" version (engine code NUT)

====Standard (high compression) variant (TL20H)====
Although Ford marked its standard 2.0&nbsp;L engine as HC, it actually uses engine codes meant for the 'increased performance variant' engines (coding starting with 'NE'), these have a compression ratio of to 9.2:1.
This engine used different carburetor models across the years:
* Weber DGAV 32/36 - on all cars up to 1987
* Weber DFTH 30/34 - from 1987 until the end of production run (1989)
* Weber DFAV 32/36 - on engines exported to USA

The engine produced {{cvt|74|kW|HP|0}} of power and {{cvt|156|Nm|lbft|0}} of torque, though a few models with a higher output were produced (for example an {{cvt|81|kW|HP|0}} version used in 1976 Ford Escort RS2000).

Applications:
* 1973–1980 [[Ford Escort (Europe)|Ford Escort]] RS2000 (engine codes NEA, NE)
* 1974–1982 [[Ford Taunus]] / [[Ford Cortina]] (engine codes NEG, NER)
* 1975–1985 [[Ford Capri]] (engine codes NEE, NEN)
* 1973–1984 [[Ford Granada (Europe)|Ford Granada]] (engine codes NEB, NEH, NEK)
* 1983–1989 [[Ford Sierra]] (engine codes NES, NET, NEJ, NE5)
* 1985–1989 [[Ford Granada (Europe)|Ford Granada]] and [[Ford Scorpio]] (engine code NEL, NER, NE4)
* 1971–1974 [[Ford Pinto]]

====Injection variant (TL20EFI)====
The injected 2.0&nbsp;L used the [[Ford EEC#EEC-IV|Ford EEC-IV]] engine control system which brought the output up to {{cvt|85|kW|HP|0}} of power and {{cvt|160|Nm|lbft|0}}<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ultimatespecs.com/car-specs/Ford/7281/Ford-Scorpio-I-20i.html | title=Ford Scorpio I 2.0i Technical Specs, Dimensions }}</ref> of torque, although much of this increased performance can be attributed to the improved design of the EFI variants cylinder head.<ref>{{Cite book|title=How to Build and Power Tune Ford Pinto Engines (Including Cosworth)|last=Hammill|first=Des|publisher=Veloce Publishing Ltd|year=2001|isbn=978-1903706107|chapter=5}}</ref> As the EEC-IV installation on most of those engines contains some [[Robert Bosch GmbH|Bosch]] parts that are easily visible in the engine compartment (air flow meter of the electromechanical "flap" type, injectors, fuel pressure regulator etc.), it is often - but falsely believed that they are fitted with the Bosch [[Jetronic#L-Jetronic (1974–1989)|L-Jetronic]] [[Fuel injection|injection]] system.
Some of the TL20EFI engines have closed-loop lambda control, while others are lacking that feature.

Applications:
* 1985–1992 [[Ford Sierra]] (engine codes N4, NRD, N4B: 74&nbsp;kW; NRB, NR2, N4A, N4I: 85&nbsp;kW)
* 1985–1992 [[Ford Granada (Europe)|Ford Granada]] and [[Ford Scorpio]] (engine code NRA, NRC, NRI)
* 1991–1994 [[Ford Transit]] (engine code NCA)

====Single point injection variant (TL20CFI)====
This variant was used in Ford Transit exclusively. The power output was {{cvt|57|kW|HP|0}}.

Applications:
* 1985–1992 [[Ford Transit]] (engine code N6T)

====Cosworth YB (CH20EFI)====
In the beginning of the 1980s, [[Cosworth]] developed a 16-valve performance head conversion for the Pinto engine. This was seen by a Ford executive who asked Cosworth to develop it with a [[Turbocharger|turbo]] for use in the new [[Ford Sierra RS Cosworth]].
The engine is therefore based on a modified Pinto block topped with the Cosworth-developed alloy head and [[Garrett AiResearch|Garrett]] turbo.
