Hello all
I'm in the process of rebuilding my 16v engine and wondered about increasing the capacity a bit.
Looking at the AH Motorsport website put me off as the prices were around £4000+vat, however I just found out that Brunswick motorsport do some 1800cc pistons for about £500+vat.
What I wondered was is it worth it? I was hoping that initially the engine could run on the standard ECU as its only an 88cc increase, I'd then upgrade to a programmable setup later (I appreciate that this will be required to make the most of the increase). The price of the increase isn't that much more than new standard size pistons and I think that the standard fuel pump and injectors should be ok. I wasn't planning on any rod/crank ungrades other than new bearings etc as the car is only going to be for fast road use and won't spend its whole life at 6000rpm.
Other mods will be lightened flywheel, gas flowed heads and maybe some posh cams and eventually programmable ECU...
Any info or tips would be much appreciated...
