looks like novatech throttle bodies? what engine management you got, sounds like it needs a bit of mapping, who mapped it?

from your garage id say its a standard bottom end? if so 264's are usually the wildest you can get without clipping your valves.

the 264's will be good for a few extra ponies and itll still be usable power!

u2u me for prices

its a x16xe needs a rebuild very badly

got oil all over my boot lol

all the internals are standard only thing i have on it is the nova-tech tb's and omex

i dont want to spend the money on forged pistons as i havnt got the money for them i need it rebuilt and tested

i have some 0.5mm oversized pistons with deepened valve pockets you can have for nowt. just coverthe postage. reason they're free as such being that i dont know how good they are. bit of surface rust but they should clean up ok
