I'm looking to upgrade my "EC" code 1.8 to 2056, whilst retaining the stock L-jet FI.
I have done some research here and am contemplating the following components. 1. Cylinders : to re-bore a set of 93mm cylinders to 96mm 2. Pistons : 96mm KB Piston set 3. Crankshaft : 71mm from the 2.0 4. Connecting Rod : Matched set of 5.160" from the 2.0 5. Camshaft : leaning towards Webcam 73 ... Appreciate if I can have some feedback on the above configuration and also the specific questions below 1. Cylinders - Will be re-bored locally. Any pitfalls when doing this ? 2. Pistons - Looking at KB 96mm 2.0 piston set from EMW. Please confirm if the 24mm pin is correct for the stock 2.0 Con Rod. 3. Crankshaft and Connecting Rods - I am assuming a USED 2.0 Crankshaft and Con Rods with correct bearings will suffice. Anything to look into when sourcing these parts used? 4.Camshaft - I am aware of the gold standard Raby 9590 kit from Type4store, but what else is available at lower cost? Such as Webcam 73 or other option from Elgin that will work with 2056 and L-jet? Thanks in advance... |
