Ok guys so i am in the process of rebuilding my evo 7 engine to a 2.0LR... i need your advise one this tell me where i am going wrong and correct me as well...

Manley 9.0:1 85.5mm over pistons
Manley 156mm turbo tuff rods
Supertech 1mm oversize exhaust/intake valves
Kiggley beehive springs retainers
GSC s2 cams
PTE 6266 Dual bb turbo
tial 44mm wastegate
OEM Gasket kit
Tial Bov
ACL STD. Race bearings
Tomei oil slicing sheild
Oem Crank shaft
AMS Balance shaft delete
ETS 4" intercooler
Full race exhaust manifold.
1200 cc pte injectors.
port and polish cylinder head

what i need to know is what is the best piston to wall clearance for this build, am i using the correct head gasket,am i using the correct bearings and also i will be tuning on ecu flash. i will be tuning on VP Q16 racing fuel pumped by dual bosch 044 pumps...

thanks!

 

Make sure the wristpin is moved up in the pistons to accommodate the longer rod. The OEM MLS head gasket should be fine, and ACL race bearings are great.

 

^^^^ ok thanks...

Any more stuff anyone willing to share???

 

Did you buy parts yet?

My advice: Just get MAP to build it

 

dont you get a low compression ratio with a 2.0 LR build using 156mm rods and stroker pistons?

 

Can that make it to a 2.1?

 

This, when the time comes for me, thats where my build is headed

 

yes, you need to watch dish volume. most 2.3 pistons have a large dish (-22cc) which would put it at 8:1 compression. for 9:1 you need around -12cc dish and for 10:1 you need around -6cc dish.

 

Good point, they will need to be custom pistons as the CR changes based on stroke (2.3l pistons are built for 100mm stroke, 2.0LR is 88mm)
