billygoat Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 I have got alot of mixed suggestions so thought I might ask you guys and girls what capacity can you bore a 3k block out too. Some people said 2.2l some said 1.4l so any info would be appreciated thanks in advance Jarrod. Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 2.2L outta a 3k.......?....hmmm Quote
Xany Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) 2.2L....... :D BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!! thats the funniest thing i've heard all year. 1.4L is more believable. Edited September 21, 2006 by Xany Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) I stroked my 5K out to be a 6.3 litre :D Edited September 21, 2006 by Rolla__Boy Quote
billygoat Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Posted September 21, 2006 I didn't think 2.2l was possible, I did think 1.5l or 1.6l might be possible though. Quote
irokin Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 From a 3K? no...way... 1.4 is as far as you'll get (even then why bother?). Why can't you just use a 5K or 7K?? Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 It might be a race application where he has to use the original engine or something? Quote
irokin Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 It might be a race application where he has to use the original engine or something? then youd expect him to know that no 1.2 litre engine will ever increase in capacity by a whole litre. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 Maybe he's a crack addict with no idea what he's talking about? Quote
jamesrolla Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 ther was a fella on here a while ago who had a 3k that he said was out to 1500, he said it was used in a rally car before he got it, he ended up selling the motor anyway, brendo's car has a 3k that aparently 1300cc, goes pretty well Quote
billygoat Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Posted September 22, 2006 I'm not a crack addict or into racing. Just looking at ways to get abit more go out of the engine I've got due to I haven't got alot of money at the moment and I need to do something with the car. I also don't know old corolla's due to the fact I have nothing to do with them at work or anywhere else. Quote
counc Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 1460cc I believe? :) sounds about right Nick :y: would be a stretch tho, i wouldnt be inclined to bore it out that far myself :D Quote
Redwarf Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Staright boreing your limited to about 80mm. If you want a further increase you need to stroke the crank. i.e 4K crank. my engiine is 78(will confirm later)mm pistons 4K crank and is 1360cc. low 1400's is achievable, but for how long I don't know. A datsun L14 motor I have seen at 2.3 litres. That's the biggest one I know you can do. R Quote
jamesrolla Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 why don't you just buy a 4k or a 5k, they will basically bolt straight in and will be faster than your 3k without having to spend loads of money? Quote
Redwarf Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Because if he's building a PRC rally car he may have to keep the 3K? That was my reason. Quote
