De-stroking
This might be a silly thought/question, but how feasible would it be to de-stroke the 1.6? What does it take anyways? My understanding is that it's a shorter crank throw (terminology) and a slightly longer conn. rod. What benefits would this give other than making it rev quicker and higher? Probably...

Thanks all. Yeah, it certainly was an emotional time. The pictures still amaze me, but even more amazing is that the cocoon area was still perfectly intact. The doors still open and close like new. A testament to Daewoo. I called the insurance company, and the lady wasnt sure if it was sold to the w...

The Wave is no more.
The Wave is no more. My wife was driving to work on Friday and the road was wet. She hit a large pothole that was covered by a rain puddle and lost control. The car crossed the lanes and struck the trailer of a semi, just in front of the wheels. The semi trailer rolled right overtop of the front of ...

One time I woke up with a bee in my blankets. Not a clue how it got there, but it started buzzing when it got stuck between my chest and the heavy quilt on my bed. I freaked out, clawing the blankets away and trying to launch myself out of the bed. Had a nice bee sting welt next to my nipple. Isn't ...

Not impossible. Just not recommended. Keep in mind that the ITB's we're refering to is just the TB's and velocity stacks, and do not use a plenum or MAF. The Honda method uses the plenum and MAF and therefore is reliable for street. It sacrifices a little of the top end efficiency of the 'naked' cou...

ITB's also give much better throttle response, as they do not have to expend pumping power on the plenum. Some of the problems -- as far as I am aware -- are bypassing the MAF. From what I remember, this makes idle really rough because you have to tune it for the power-band and end up rich at idle. ...

These guys in the UK make throttlebody kits for the C20XE, as well as fuel rails, flywheels, cams, programmable ecu's and some other stuff.
