Hi, I have a SGTI looking for cheap mods.
This is a suggestion made by a workshop.
I am still trying to understand whether this is a cheap solution.
Replace 1.8 Pistons with 1.6 Pistons as 1.6 pistons share the same bore size as a 1.8. A 1.8 has a longer stroke.
Rationale
1.6 Pistons share the same bore as 1.8 pistons, but 1.6 pistons have higher compression compared with 1.8 pistons (Possible ah!)
Skim the head again to increase compression.
Total mod cost: RM1,000
Expensive Solution
Change original 1.8 pistons for high compression racing pistons - RM3800 for a set of 4
Skim the head
Total Mod cost: RM5000
Has anyone tried the 1st cheap mod.
