I'm buying a 89-91 Si hatch (when i find the right one) for SCCA solo2 racing. I need to have the engine bored up to .020 over. How much should I pay for this? I figure that this should bring back some Hp on an engine that has 150000-180000 miles.

Again the question is how much should this cost? And who can do this.

 

call abacus racing @ 363-8878

 

If you've got over 150k on the engine, you're planning on doing more than just an overbore, right???

 

i would have the rods shotpeened, and get some high compression pistons...

 

I am not boosting it so I really have to wait and get the new 2004 scca rulebook to see exactly what is legal

 

pointless to do all that, best thing u can do is get a ls motor with gsr tranny and lsd and do a upgraded p&p head. mass torqu off the line and thru out the gears. if youve never done auto-x or anything like that then start asking people before u bore out a motor. what kind of motor are you doing it to and have u done ur research on the engine.

just my .02 cents

 

i think he's trying to run in a class, probably CSP or something... he has to keep the d motor

 

ya prolly, go wit the d16zy or y6. dont rebuild at all.

 

you have to use the engine that came/or would have come in the car from the factory. No swaps in the STS class, or any class in SCCA Solo racing other than Street Modified.

Thanx for the help I figured I would call Abicus, but I havent found the car yet and was looking to see if anyone had done it and could get theie oppinion.

 

There is a shop in hampton that will likely be cheaper then Abacus. I hear they do good work from one of my track friends who has also used abacus. Its called Dunkum's 244-8401. The resurfaced my JUN flywheel (others said it was not possible). Broke there machine taking out one of the studs but still got it done.
