> 4) How "bolt in" is "bolt in?" Can I literally bolt it into my van? The > injection system must change, so what's the deal? Externally the 2.2 and 2.1 cases are supposedly the same. The extra displacement comes from slightly larger pistons and longer stroke. Fuel injection system remains the same. If you run a 2.1L block in your Vannawagon that will make it as bolt-in as you get. If you run a 1.9L then look at http://www.oldvolkshome.com/19to21.htm. Not too shabby. This means if we got our hands on the larger pistons and cylinders and the stroker crank we could make a "big-bore" high-compression engine of our own. Chris S. '85 Westy. |
