so i have a dumb question.. i have my engine torn down to the heads and case and was my cylinders (i think) are kinda rusty (the little fins on it)
if i wanted to get a new cylinder/piston kit yada yada... can i get a "big bore" 96mm kit? I didn't know if going with the big kit would require any modifying of the heads or case or something.. or if it would "bolt up" just like the stock parts. pardon the noobness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Yea 10 HP is really all you will get from a 1.8L getting bumped to 96mm pistons. if you change nothing else.
Your cylinders will serve you better than buying out of round Evil bay ones. As stated above there is more to be done to a motor to get more than 10 extra HP. I assembled a 1911cc motor and ran it in my car. It was OK but I certainly was not thrilled. 40 IDF's Tangerine and Mallory igition lighter flywheel. Never cracked the case sso I didn't know the cam was a torque bus cam. Not good for my ported 2.0L heads and Header. Do not go half way you will not be happy, nor will you notice any difference. |
