Need Help/Ideas(grassroots upgrade)
Has anyone had any experience with boring out a stock 4th gen accord engine? I was thinking of going this route (possibly 20 over) instead of the ever popular h22 swap. i would like to acquire maybe an extra .1-.2 liters. I was thinking bore engine, re-sleeve, bigger pistons/new rods,port and polish head,valve springs/retainers,racing cam, bigger inj., etc..
then.. maybe a garrett turbo, custom fittings, etc.. i feel this would be a more unique/grassroots attempt to make the accord scream as opposed to using someone else's platform ('lude). I realize, from reading other posts, that you guys are extremely knowledgeable(please have patience with my lack of know how) and any info/ideas that can be given would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

i don't know much about the 4th gen accord engine but, if i'm not mistaken, honda engines are already very tightly spaced, meaning they have very thin walls between each cylinder. boreing one out may weaken their integrity. but i could be wrong.
