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... |

QUOTE(RohJay @ Sep 29 2016, 04:17 AM)  1. Cylinders - Will be re-bored locally. Any pitfalls when doing this ? They need to be torqued to factory spec while boring. If the shop doesn't have/make a torque plate it'll be wrong. Depending on quality of work where you are you make prefer to just buy aftermarket cylinders. There are hundreds of engines running aftermarket cylinders that are working just fine.QUOTE(RohJay @ Sep 29 2016, 04:17 AM) 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. 24mm is correct. I'm not a fan of KB pistons. I've heard of a fair number breaking apart, presumably from pinging/detonation. I think the JE is worth the peace of mind. They're not much more.QUOTE(RohJay @ Sep 29 2016, 04:17 AM) 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? These are fine. You can use the bus 2.0 components as well (they're the same).QUOTE(RohJay @ Sep 29 2016, 04:17 AM) 4.Camshaft - I am aware of the gold standard Raby 9590 kit from Type4store, but what else is available at lower cost?
