Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

So all the trouble of boring out a 20 block to fit a 25 head for what?

Its still a 20 head just with a 26 crank and SR20 rods from what I remember of them. The bores are way different 20 vs 25 they're like 80mm in the 20 and 86 in the 25 lol.

So a stroked 20 essentially? Still a dirty 20 then Martin.

Yep essentially that. So you still have to deal with the shit head on the 20.

I can understand the point of it if you want to run in a class that requires original engine, makes sense but you could probably go just as well spending the money on a good turbo set up for it etc.

Run the pinny in street class instead?

That's what I thought, few decent bolt-ons and you're good to go.

That would require registering it with a full weld in cage.

why dafaq you wanna do that???

May as well just put a 26 in it

Bit more capacity, not going to cost that much more than rebuilding a 25 bottom end, I can still use all my bolt ons, etc.

26 into a 31 is a multi million dollar excersize, and I'd basically have to start from scratch. Why the f*ck would I want to do that?

Why? a 60 with hydraulic lifters. I still say 25/30.

See above.

25/30 is a possible option but will probably need a bigger turbo.

Put down the crack pipe and just get a 26?

See above.

If thats the case I'd just stick with getting another 25 into it. extra money spent on the 26 crank would be better spent on tyres and entry fees.

The difference between the two is only 70cc anyway i doubt it will make that much difference

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
