[Azman]

Cheers Jamo kidda. Will have to join another site then

Azman head over to motorgeeks it's all covered there as this is a common conversion for the yanks.

83 mm is the max you can run at personally i wouldn't as your at the limit.

You can't go beyond 83mm with another rebore down the line. Stick with 82.5 and then you have 82.75 and then 83 as rebore in the future.

Agreed with Jamo on this one... No point in maxxing out the block for this. 82.5 is plenty enough.

Also is there any returns to the sump for the turbo as these would need tapping in?

[Azman]

Not if you use a proper sump!!!!!

[Acidburn]

Ok was not sure if it was in the block or sump? thanks for clearing that up.

[Azman]

Hahaha..... Starting witht the block matey and building everything up form there and getting the whole lot properly balanced for smoothness. long project but will get there. Gettign the engine built before the car so i know it is done

You're just as well to stick a 95.5mm crank in there while you're at it, for an extra 243cc.

[Azman]

Thanks guys I think sticking with the stock piston size will suit me best not after massive power (looking for around the 450 mark) so scat rods and JE pistons will do the job methinks....

All good.

im learning about clearances when building a race engine at uni at the moment, very interesting stuff!!!

also mind blowing the amount of thought that has to go into these things when you start swapping and changing from standard

go and get yourself a set of feeler guages - you will be using them alot! hope everything goes to plan for you dude
