overbore of 1800 gtx engine

Post by nickmx3 »

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 :mrgreen:
Taken from flyinmiata's site:
http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?dep ... 0%20A-BEAM

"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."
