Basically my dad and I are going to rebuild the motor with better parts/increase displacement/etc. Being the uneducated college student that I am, I need advice. I really like the Metric Mechanic's stuff, but can't afford it. There's tons of very good machine shops near New Brunswick (where I'm a student) that can do the work for me as long as I tell them what I want. If this were your car, and you had a fairly restricted budget, but made good price/performance compromises, what would you do? I would like the final displacement to be near 2.1 L or more. What should the dimensions of the cylinder be? Length of connecting rods? Should I have the valves changed? This needs to be DASC friendly since I'm planning on boosting it too... | | | 06-24-2008, 04:12 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | check out marko's thread. he is doing the same thing you want to do __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 06-24-2008, 04:14 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | Oh yeah I forgot... he IS doing the exact same thing... I think his budget is a little higher than mine though. He's got a nice car! | | | 06-24-2008, 04:26 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | i think he would be able to further help you with all the details though __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 06-24-2008, 04:28 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | I agree... thanks for reminding me of him. Maybe I'll ask to borrow his rods so I can get copies CNC machined or something haha... | | | 06-24-2008, 04:32 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | yeah no problem. __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
