engine swaps
intead of swapping engines isnt it possible just to have the engine bored over? wouldnt it be easier and more cost efficient? or can you not bore an import engine?

well i was figuring why swap enigines like everyone else is to get more ponies why not just bore out what i have and go with it this way instead..my spectra i think i can turn into a real sleeper..even without boring it out..considering most people see kias and go *ok what a crap car*

Boring is not to popular with the import engines, stroking it is, 1.8L could probably stroke to a 2.2L more torque not as a rev happy.
Stick the 1.8T and boost it smile.gif
Now, I got no clue on the specs of a spectre engine, does anyone even boost those?
