How's it going everyone,
I was just wondering... how much have you guys spent boring out your block? I was thinking of boring mine from 1.6 to 1.8. How much of a difference in performance will it give.
Also, how much can u put up the compression while still using the standard pistons before it will start pinging etc.
Cheers,
Mat
PS. My car just got put up in the modified gallery (2nd one from the left) tell us what you think. |

| what you want to use stock 1600 pistons in an 1800 dont think its too wise. |
