So im rebuilding my jdm c5 this month and was looking for some more displacement for my n/a build. wondering how far i should bore
i was trying to reach 1.9 or 2.0. Do i need to resleeve the block to reach 1.9 I think the most to go on stock sleeves is 82mm no? Or could i get away with a block gaurd. Im a novice so please any info asap would help i have to send my block out to the shop in 2-3weeks and need to order pistions and whatever else to do this rebuild reliable with cast pistions thanks for your time

 

~82mm is about the max bore for a stock/non-sleeved bottom end.

Have you fully researched the costs associated with a 2.0L build? I have build sheets of estimated costs, but many others in this forum can give you real costs from their own builds. Its not a cheap task, but I am by no means trying to convince you from building. I just want to make sure you know the real costs of the build.

What are you plans for the car?

 

i just wanted a little more displacement but keep it reliable and a weekend road/race. I know it cost money, im not intirely sure on how much i just strarted doing research on it yesterday. I know ill use either oem p30 pistions or RSpr3's.
please im welcome to any advice

 

82 bore with an 89 crank will get you some displacement youll notice

 

whats a 89 crank do i use my same rods then i assume

 

ls crank and ls rods

 

will 82mm be safe by itself on stock sleeves or do i need to get a block guard or what not thanks i need somthing that will hold 100kish miles

 

so i can buy a GE 89 ls crank for 330 is that a fair price? then i need the ls rods also correct?

 

82mm bore + 91mm Eagle crank + rods = 1922cc

82mm bore + LS 89mm crank + rods = 1880cc

Unless you are boosting, no need for a block guard.

My build came out to just over $3,000 for my Benson sleeved 2.0L bottom end (85mm). This included all parts and assembly by Laskey Racing.

 

if i go with the eagles what cr would i be looking at aiming for around 11:5:1

 

whoohoo got me some rsmachine 82mm pr3s and ls rods

Don't forget to use ARP rod bolts.

 

yup plan togotta find some for cheap still need a crank though

 

so i rounded up most the parts for the bottom end....
cleanrice was nice enough to hook me up with a ls crank and i ordered the ls rods and some RSmachine 82mm pr3 pistions so should get interesting after i pick up some arp goodies

 

k got a question with my build, 1.8litier with a comp of 11:7:1 rocket head package, performerX IM, 310cc injectors and blah blah my question is what header would you recomend most for a 1.8 high comp and why over the other brand. Im looking at the bisi, ssr (sweeper), smsp, t1r response and an-r
please post some pics 2 if you want

 

SSR Street Sweeper

If you are looking to retain PS/AC, the SSR B-Unit is also good. They are roughly equal in the midrange, then the Street Sweeper carries further.

On the INTEC DynoJet, a B-Unit made 12whp over a JDM 4-1, and the Street Sweeper made another 6-7 over the B-Unit, this is on a mild 1.8L build mind you.

 

hot damn!!!! that sounds nice... wish i could get my hands on a narrow rmf
