Sr20 bore size

Post by Jdflyer »

I have just a quick question and would love some feedback on both pros and cons. I just sent my block SR20DE with a P11 Head to the machine shop. They are recommending that I bore the block to at least 86.5mm. I do not want to go larger than 87 as I will have to sleeve the block. So my question is 86.5 or 87 and why.

Thanks

Are the bores damaged?
Boring to an OS requires new pistons and rings, an expense to you that may not be necessary :? :?
Nissanman, just trying to help.

I’ve decided to replace the pistons w/CP’s. Trying to get a bit of extra umph from the motor. The walls themselves appeared clean so I’m leaning toward 86.5 that way I have room in case I do something terribly wrong
