Hi guys am fitting a 2.9L stoker kit on my 25 neo and thought I might as well get it bored out while everything is apart

anyone know how much can actually be bored from a 25 neo and what pistons would fit that bore
And what is a good place to do that close the Brisbane 

thanks

If your thinking you'll bore it out to increase capacity, the increase you'll get by going one size (86.5mm) or two sizes over (87mm) is negligible. If you want increased capacity from a larger bore, you're looking at getting the block sleeved and even then I wouldn't say that's money well spent. 

As for how far a 25 neo can be bored, it's answered above. Safely 1 mm over. What pistons fit that bore? 87mm pistons. 

If your building a motor, typically you don't want to bore the motor out unless you have to. If the cylinders are good to go with only a hone, then that's ideal. Leave more meat on the block for the next time it gets pulled down and machined. 

In the end, I'd say be guided by your engine builder / machinist, I'm guessing your not building this thing yourself?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
