Dan's phase 2 1.8xs toy build

[Niall]

Planning on stripping and going throttle bodies eventually. Want forged internals but I believe no one makes them? So maybe go overbore and use other pistons providing theres room?
Oh really, nice one mate. What have you had done to it in the rebuild?

Nice. Im not sure how resilient the engine will be to boost. Im just going to boost mine and see if i melt any pistons lol.
They are a wet linered engine and the liners are actually fairly thin compared to other wet engines ive seen so not sure how well you could get away with boring it out.

Engine had a full rebuild. All gaskets, piston rings and scrapers, honed, shells, top end rebuild. Then took it for mot and the car failed on chronic rust that was covered by underseal so i took the easy route and broke the car and bought a 6 but i really wish i still had the 1.8. Much much livelier engine and not much slower. Sold it to a mate but he never used it so im getting it back.
