According to my lovable site:

It is a semi-pentroof design.

 

wow so 4g63 pistons in a g4gm/gf would require a bore of 85mm and it would be risky? BTW, what kind of conrods would you use?

EDIT: I just realized you had a 1.6 (and silly me...read the topic) 'cause i was about to say a 82mm should bore to 85mm w/o problems eh? Yeah i would agree with Shaddoh and say 77.5mm to 85mm seems a bit stretchy.

the block is the same between the 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0.

The problem is, he wouldn't end up with a 2.0L. He'd end up with a 1.8L (assuming a "stock" 82mm bore)(due to the shorter stroke of the 1.6L crank). 85mm is out of the question. 1mm overbore (83mm pistions) is the max reccomended. If you wanna go gonzo 2mm overbore (84mm pistions) MIGHT work, but you would only have 3mm of materal between the cyninders. That' just too damn thin.

Stick with 82 or 83mm. go with 82 mm if you want crazy boost. The thicker cylinder walls will allow you to run more boost. Don't try to make power with the minor increase in displacement.

Thanks for the head's-up, Random, but I'm still doing it. I'll tell you if it works. Beats buying an engine, though. smile.gif
