I am not sure I can make it in 1 hour 45 min with local transport. Have to catch the plain in time and want to know if anyone know how much a taxi ride will be and maybe how long time it take?.

Train will be much quicker than a taxi.
Take the Victoria Line to Tottenham Hale then the Stansted Express to the Airport.
12 minutes on the underground and 35 minutes on the Express.
This is much quicker than going to Liverpool Street for the Stansted Express and taxi will take well over an hour.

Taxis will be expensive - 50-70 pounds or more. You might be able to negotiate a price in advance (this is what I would recommend.). I once took a taxi from Peterborough to Stanstead and it was 60 pounds.
If you want to take a taxi then it would take about one hour (or less depending on the traffic). Once outside of London and onto the dual carriageway you would move fast. But the roads of London are busy, especially in the rushhour each morning and evening.
If you are travelling in the daytime it would be better for you.
Bear in mind Stanstead airport often has long check in queues and even if you get to the airport in around an hour then you might have to wait for 10-30 minutes to reach the check in desk, then get through the busy security check.
