I am going to install new pistons/cylinders,and refresh the heads.
Quick question. I am keeping the fuel injection on my 1.8L. So should I keep the stock 93 MM cylinders,or go to a 96MM aluminum for added cooling. If I go to the 96MM will I run into drive ability problems??. http://aapistons.com/products/vw-porsche-9...der-kit-914-bus. My compression went from 90 PSI hot motor throttle open to 150 PSI with a few drops of oil. Can I do this cylinders myself???. Thanks for any advice or suggestions. |

Yes you can do this yourself.
If you decide to go to 2056 you will need different pistons (higher pin) and different crank and rods (from 2L engine both). Also a longer duration cam will help bring the power out. Keep the 1.8 heads to bump the compression up. Before you order anything, take the cylinders apart and see what you have. It might be just rings. |
