Nah mate, definately wont be racing or turboing the motor. I think a little less compression would be the go.
The retainers are completely different as with the springs. Springs off the 3kbp are larger in diameter and one would think, hold more pressure. The retainers to suit are also larger.
Good idea with the block but i have heard that boring it out to that much is taking it a step too far. Well maybe just for me, hence looking for a piston around the 350cc area. None cross my mind.
I might be looking for power in the wrong areas and if so some guidence would be great. I have looked into the "making a tough K motor" and various others. Impressed, but they touch lightly on some subjects.
Not really looking to create something different (i'm quite sure plenty of people have done it) but something pretty close to original just to keep the personality of the ke20.
Anymore insight would be great, Cheers.
