Engine bits

Fancy getting some parts from this place
http://www.carcustoms.net/index.php?cPath=265_22_32_597
eagle rods and some pistons,
which pistons do i need?
thinking of going 0.20 overbore - what cc would that increase the engine by ?
also is the head stud kit a bit overkill ?

good $ to £ atm, got a friend with a good contact in americaland too.

(any other america places i can get stuff cheap from - from recommendations )

vocky

the 10:1 pistons are for n/a, the 8.9:1 are for sc or turbo

0.20 overbore would add about 30cc

headstud kit + crank pulley drool.gif

my eagle rods should be arriving very soon 😃

car customs is a good supplier, DO NOT use mantapart

luna_s

yeah im guessing ill have a bit of bore wear, so probably safer to go for the oversized option
RK pulley any good ? reading about its not totally worth it, altho coupled with balancer shaft removal and lightened flywheel , should be ok

vocky

I would also rebore the block at 100k 🙂

rk pulley and head studs are both on my wish list, but I probably won't bother with either notsure.gif

I will stick with: no balancer shafts, lightened flywheel, eagle rods and the head off my vectra 🙂

might possibly replace the pistons, not sure dunno..

luna_s

well my pistons are going to be damaged, its also probably damaged the shells so may as well replace with new at these prices 🙂

im looking at davies craig pumps too.

my CC is going to take a beating 😃

vocky

I must ask Dude how he fitted his davies craig pump, it's high on my want list

the standard pump weighs quite a bit, plus the flow should be a bit better notsure.gif

only if the cam chain snapped 🙂

ive a few ideas, hopefully the pump will sit where the thermostat is (on a vx220) be no thermostat anymore as id use the waterpump controller,
might just ba a case of gutting the old water pump

vocky

if you don't want to rebore your engine I have a block you can have for £30
it's done about 50k I believe, the head cracked, so no damage to the block

luna_s

my crank will need a regrind anyway, so may as well take it all to the engine place and get them to rebuild the bottom end, ta for offer tho 😃

luna_s

luna_s

Another thought, if i'm getting + 0.020 pistons will i need a different head gasket ?

no, the headgasket is the same

the z22se engine can only be bored out once, then it's new liners :shock:
