increasing capacity of a 2litre

[lawrence]

is this worth doing i remeber seeing a williams ages ago in fast car mag bored out to 2.1, then saw it in the flesh went like s**t off a shovel

speak to BenR at AWT he does a 2.2 bottom end for the 172/182

mmmm liking the sound of that, but would it be worth doing?

 

[BenR]

For the cost involved, i would only reccomend it to somebody who can support the budget required and ONLY if the extra capacity is really required.

Its alot of work and money, and if its a near std engine then most people would not be happy with the bhp/£ ratio.

PM or email me, i'll be happy to provide details for you.

changing the CC of your car is practically the only mod insurers dont like. obviously engine swaps are up there.. could be wrong green light may allow this.

what power hikes are we talking for a 2.2 bottom end ? price.

 

[Turkish]

i dont know what the gains in terms of BHP and tprque are or any differing charachteristics tbh. Best to chat to ben about it. Im not sure if it uses a different crank/stroke/piston size or how he gains the extra CC. But tbh the std crank and flywheel are badly balanced they are worth changing/modding even if only to improve how smooth the engine is before upping power or RPM through mods.

doh, too slow to reply.

i was wondering if its the same as a stroker kit used on evos, i wouldnt really like to up rpm thats when engines go bang and boring out aswell would increase chances of that happening ill pm ben about it

 

[BenR]

just at work, so give me to this evening and i'll have a reply back to you.

Thanks!
