Thanks. Im just gathering parts because I want to get the motor in and running first. Compression ratio is the next decision. I'm considering 9.5 -1 (standard) to keep it nice off boost.
That sounds expensive! Ktm free rides have tiny calipers, mountain bikes have tiny calipers. I like a decent rear brake, to many years offroad not to use it.
Ive bought what I think are a real serious rod for my B12 build for less than £190. They come with Genuine ARP 2000 bolts.
I've seen these in high powered VW 20v Turbo engines and thought I'd give them a go.
I'm going to run a set of forged pistons when I can work out what CC I can afford! Can I get 1246cc on standard barrels and liners?
