OK, we have recently hashed out head gaskets, Pistons, rods, and bearings.
A while a go it was oil pumps. So what about a fresh build discussion. I plan on building a decent 2.0 based street engine. Goals are decent power, longevity and drivability. Think fun reliable touring with an occasional autocross. (Kind of what a factory 2.0 was good for, but with a little more kick in the pants.) AND reasonable price (Yes, that is always open to interpretation) What is recommended displacement? Bore and Stroke? What pistons, rods and cylinders? What compression? What cam? Guessing micro squirt or tuned up D-Jet. What "tricks" are worth while for a few HP and/or drivability, longevity, etc. What "tricks" are not worth while (or worst yet help one direction and hurt another) How much worse would it be to start with a 1.8 base? (Heads, etc.) |

OK, I am not looking for someone to build it.
Probably not going with Nickies for this engine. 2056 is 96mm on a stock crank? What is the next step up? How fast do you get to a size that the D-Jet won't support? I noticed that et HAM heads are 4 stud (1.8 style). Are they based off 1.8 castings, or are they a fully custom casting? And what is meant by "Square" vs. "Oval" ports? |

QUOTE(N_Jay @ Oct 30 2016, 04:02 PM)  2056 is 96mm on a stock crank? 96mm bore, 71mm stroke from the stock 2.0 engine. QUOTE What is the next step up? How fast do you get to a size that the D-Jet won't support? After 96mm bore you wind up having to cut the heads and the case to fit larger cylinders. Much more than 71mm stroke means interference between the cam and rods. But larger than 71mm stroke means figuring out what kind of rods and which aftermarket crank to use anyway. D-jet is more freaked out by lumpy cams than displacement. I have heard of people running 2.2 motors off D-jet, but with some modifications. QUOTE I noticed that et HAM heads are 4 stud (1.8 style). Are they based off 1.8 castings, or are they a fully custom casting? Based off of aftermarket castings by AMC. QUOTE And what is meant by "Square" vs. "Oval" ports? Later Bus motors had exhaust ports that were rectangular in shape. Those get called "square port" heads. Our heads have oval-shaped exhaust ports. --DD |
