Guest FrantiC Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Do you know whats involved with using the m52 crank? IMO bore out an m20b27 ETA block to 85mm so you can use +1mm oversized custom pistons, gets you to 2.8L for much cheaper.. That way you don't have to do heaps of crank work to make it fit (it's not a direct fit into the m20 block). Also with custom pistons you could have valve reliefs cut into them to make the engine non-intference if you ever break a timing belt... And choose your own compression ratio, as in get high ratio ones if it's gonna b Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was told that the swap was relatively simple, with a couple of small turning jobs to do on the ends of the crank (which the web link seems to back up). Am I missing something else?Surely custom oversized pistons are going to be big $$$s unless you can find a stock size out of another motor? Not that I'm an expert...

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Its best to go with bigger valves as well and a good cylinder head porting job. ++++ $$$$$ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
