Thread: Finally got some numbers

Please explain 'very complicated'. Does a 94mm bore create interference problems?

94mm bore is very complicated. There will be lots of issues with keeping the head gasket sealed, not to mention it is a one off custom head gasket. I would not tell anyone else to go larger than 92mm unless they wanted every last possible HP and money was no object.

there is no interference on 94mm bore, but to get the most out of the motor, you better have a very well overworked cylinder head with the largest valves possible, chamber welding, deshrouding and so on. Otherwise all the work and money spent to get a 94mm setup to seal will be wasted.

Bottom line, if your not sure how to overcome and solve head gasket sealing issues with 3mm between pistons, then stick with a 92mm bore.

lol thx

so then with a Tomi stroker crank you could get 2.5l+ displacement that would be crazy. i would imagine 300+ hp at the tires but an insane amount of money to do so.

You can actually get a 94.5mm crank to fit the block. with a 94mm bore that would be 2632cc.

My 94mm setup has a custom 90mm crank which makes 2498cc's

yes it is expensive with all the custom rods, pistons, and crank.

Thank you and I'll pass on 94mm.

I really dont see any point in doing a big bottom end for your car Joe. I mean if you were gonna hit the drag strip this summer I would say go for it.
I know you well enough to know you need to wait until Dre or Charles get some cams made. Your car does what it needs to do and its together-Leave it alone!!!

that kind of bottom end would be awsome in a 240 with a nice ve head. could actualy take advantage of all that power with out slicks!

I think a big bore NA 2.3-2.4L VE in a 240 RWD fully built would be sweeet.

Us poor FWD guys would like to know.LOL?
