KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 maybe you could look at just getting the machining done and assemble it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trav_555 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 alright sweet, so would i just take off 4k pistons and fit 4age pistons? easy as that, along with cleaning and everything, and new piston rings and stuff?

philbey Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 hahaha, you are a mess. I paid 1300 for: -Acid dip -New cam bearings, fitted -40 thou overbore plus new ACL pistons -Balance -Head rebuild -Full set of rings, seals, gaskets, bearings, etc. Had to build it myself. Your talking about a 6mm (240thou) overbore. I'd be impressed if you could get away with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopedx Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 There was a starlet that was just for sale on trademe over here in n.z which hada 5k which had bin bored out and had 4agze pistons fitted so it can be done. Cost him 5gs (in recipts) for the work.. Was turbo running a single 40mm sidedraft. Bit excessive if you ask me but suposedly went like the clappers..
