I have the chance to pick up a 1,7 engine for about $300, its seems like a pity to pass it over but I am wondering what I can do with it. The engine in my car is a 2.0, can I build a stroker from the 1,7 or use it in some other way or just use it for spares?

The cases are all the same, so if you've ever thought about building a different, or fresh motor, you could pick this up as a platform to build off of. 1911 is a stock 1.7 crank (66mm stroke) with big-bore 96mm pistons (stock is 90). These can be really fun motors, comparable to a stock 2.0. There are no stroker cranks that would work with the other 1.7 components. If you replace the crank and rods, you've got the whole world of engine size possibilities open to you. And then there's always the turbo option... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) McMark, Questions: Is it just a case of boring out the existing cylinders and installing the 96 Pistons and then reusing the existing rods and heads (heads modified to take larger cylinders)? What about the FI is it best to go with a modern ECU? Thanks |
