There's a company who do the cossie conversions to 2.4 so carn't see why you shouldn't be able to take the c20xe to 2.2? would be nice running tb aswell. | |

2.2 isn't possible due to the space between the bores. | |

you need to speak to someone who does race engines such as QED as above the cc wil not only be determined by bore but the stroke also. I cant see that 2.2 would be a problem at all. | |

get an x22xev ot of a frontera c 20xe head would go on hey presto u got a 2.2. And the calibre car used a 3.0 omega crank and rods which alters the stoke therefor alters capacity | |

Been speaking to the guy who's going to rebore it, he's had a look at the block and agrees 2.2 aint a viable option, and 2.1 is the only option I got | |

thats the main concern i've got, the strength of the engine. I just need to know if it would be possible and if the engine would still be strong. | |

I think re-boreing to a 2.2 will be hard to do. Maybe possible though. But if the top guns only bore it to a 2.1, i doubt it would be safe to make it a 2.2. | |

well im looking at a 2.1 rebore, maybe even a 2.2, depending on costs and what would be easiest to source parts. | |

You will need to get the block rebored to 2.1, pistons and rings to fit, not sure which ones you would get though as I doubt they are made that size to fit this engine normally. Normal head gasket should be ok. | |

As above, is it possible to do to the C20XE, and also if this has been done, can a set of SBD TB's still be fitted ok? Will I need a custom made headgasget, pistons, etc, or are there alternatives I can use?? |
