- Tue Nov 15, 2011 11:00 pm #281572 you have to remember when you bore over the block you are loosing cylinder wall material, which will weaken the block so if you are going to bore it over. i would run sleeves but that just my opinion.

- Wed Nov 16, 2011 3:56 pm #281651 he's talking about sleeving the block, but if your on a budget i would forget about that and just save up for when i plan on rebuilding. it costs more to install the sleeves than the actual price of the sleeves lol

I think .020 is an excellent idea but i just wanted to know why u wanted to do it thats all. In most cases you would want to bore and hone. That way ur positive that ur pistons and cylinder walls will be within spec of each other.

He was also telling me i need to make my 1.8 into a 2.0 so i can reach my 200hp goal. By boring it out does this make my 1.8 into a 2.0?

- Fri Nov 18, 2011 12:32 am #281883 a 81.5 bore wont take you there, but that guy is also leading you astray. you do NOT need a 2.0 bore to make 200whp. i know of cars doing that with stock bores locally. Higher compression would help with also the use of quality parts such as cams, headers,exhaust,etc and most essentially your tune.
