2.1 2.2 petrol engine questions. - bashbarnard - 18-05-2016
so im planning the next volvo project at the moment but ive got a decent bottom end of the 2.1 xud lying about thats just going to get binned im afriad. however i think remember reading somewhere about the cranks being used in the gti engines xu10 i think. to make a 2.1 or 2.2 engine. anyone done one of these? just dreaming as usual.

im building one right now, you need custom rods as the big end is wider than all the other xu engines, theres a few pistons you can use, depends how far you want to go really.
