2.0 Rebuild Advice Needed, 2056 or 2270? Options

[john_g]

I'm getting ready to rebuild my 2.0 and am considering going to either 2056, or maybe even up to 2270. What are the downsides or problems associated with going 2270, if any?

Djet can handle more displacement, just not more stroke.
Up to 2.4 liter as far as I know.

BUT
I would suggest if heat is another one of your concerns, stick with the 2056.

Bigger displacement of much more than that may require external oil cooling and if you stroke it, it will require a new induction system.

Carbs run maybe 1k all in.
EFI could be 2k all in, and I have not seen a decent bolt on application for these motors, so you will be doing custom tuning, and custom wiring etc.

Thanks, Rich. I must be a little slow, can you clarify something for me? You're saying that the D-jet can handle it, but will need custom tuning, wiring, etc. to the tune of an additional 2K, right?

And the 2056, doesn't require major modifications to the EFI?

Djet can go up to 2.4 liter with the 71mm stroke (stock) crank.
That is 103mm pistons.
It cannot deal with a longer stroke.

for the 2270, that is a stroker motor with 96mm pistons and a 78mm crank (stock is 71mm)
That motor (the one you are asking about) requires a custom EFI system with new wiring etc...in the 2k range and there is no off the shelf system available, so you need to know what you are doing, or hire someone who does.

2056 is your best bet.

both the 2270 and the 2.4 liter stock stroke require external oil coolers.
Both motors are tuned and require more maintenance than a 2056 will ever require.

One thing to think about.
McMark (an admin here) has a shop names Original Customs and he will build a 2056 for you that is reliable.
