There is no need for an upgrade, stock rods and pistons will hold up to 220hp and this is a number the engine will never see. My goal is to keep it simple and cheap so i decided to work with stock parts where its possible. I just rehoned the bore and put new bearings and skrews in it so thats for refreshing. This combo will raise my compression from stock 9,2:1 to 11,3:1 with stock parts :D


@iChrist
To get the SIR into my ride i had to cut the upper brakets that are weldet to the domes, weld a new braked in the rear where the backpart combine and welded new hex nuts into the flor.

And thank you for the kind words!


Awesome! I don't suppose you have pics on doing this or know of any build guides on how to do this?

Thanks! Would love to have SIR panels all round.
