1. "find a stuffed 20V bottom end" - cost? where?

keep looking around all the forums and newspapers, they come up every now and then

Quote:

"rebuild it with os piston kit from ACL" - who? and OS being over-shim? no? or OS Giken brand? i can get a balanced kit from toda for cheap. around $1300 and are they 20v pistons to match the block or big/small port pistons to match the head? also what compression? 11.3 or 11.0? bore?

ACL are an Aus piston manufacturer, the kit incl. rings and gudgeon is about $250 and they only make one type for the 20V/100Kw and in standard or 1mm oversize

Quote:

get the block shaved slightly" - what cost again and where and how much??

I goto Terry King at dominator performance in Guildford, he is very experienced and does a good job, the block no more than 10 thou and the head around 20 thou

Quote:

"use either a bigport (for top end) or a small port head(for low down)" - how about a small port and get the ports widened up a little? he wants want half/half of power + accel. not going to be bashing 7000 rpm all day for the small port. but he wants to be able to get power when he DOES hit it.

its his engine he can do what he wants Smile

Quote:

what lift? stock lift? or 8 or 9 or more? we will need to upgrade the valvetrain if it goes any higher right? is 288 too much?

thats up to you, you need to work out what you want to achieve with what you are able to get your hands on and go from there

Quote:

"some adjustable cam gears" - toda racing brank ok? to match the toda cams? i can get cheap toda shit thats all

I wouldnt waste my time on the aftermarket gears, its cheaper to get them made , im having 3 sets made at the moment which will cost around $250ish a set, if youre intereseted in one of the sets let me know, i will only have two sets spare and one is probly allready sold, ill post some pics up when theyre made up in about 2 weeks or so

Quote:

microtech and 20v throttles?

that sounds like a good start

Quote:

buy some alloy shaving bits and get busy with the drill port matching. use some wet and dry to smooth out the finish and clean up the ports a bit more." - drill port matching?

its pretty easy to do a rough job but patience will give you a good finish if you use the wet and dry as well
