Increasing displacement

[Dan Ciezniewzki]

Whould it be possible to bore out the cylinders from 3179cc's (3.2L) to about 3500cc's (3.5L) without damaging the block or making the cylinder walls too thin. This would be similar to the JGTC 500 NSX's 3.5 engine.

I know this has been asked before and I think the answer was no, something to do with the cylinder liners on the 3.2L, I think the 3.0L can be done.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but this is the way I remember it.

Thanks

Dave

As previosly mentioned boring out the 3.2 is not a good idea because of its cylinder walls. You could however sleeve the block and then bore it out to 3.5L. We have found that 3.7L is probably the max.
