overbore of 1800 gtx engine
Hey am inquiring about the 1800 gtx bp turbo engine, what is the max it can be over bored, or can it be sleeved. The thing is i need to redo my cylinders as i noticed that two pistons have play and dont fit the cylinder walls correctly. Or what books can i find to get the info.

Somewhat pricey but something I eventually would like to do

"Build the ultimate Miata motor. An extra 200cc can make a big difference to turbo spoolup or naturally aspirated power. Starting with a cut up block, we measured to determine the maximum stroke the 1.8 could handle without a modified block. That's 4 mm more than stock. The bore was set at 84.5 mm for a few reasons - it leaves a good margin of safety, allows use of stock head gaskets and puts the final displacement at 1995cc. Since the first car to get a stroker was the Track Dog running in an under-2000cc class, that was perfect."
