Introduction

This is a new project I have just started.  This page and all other pages linked on the left are a work in progress.

When I originally rebuilt my engine I wanted to stroke it out to 2.2L but didn't have the money or the experience to do it.  Several years later, I am finally doing it.  My engine already has the Metric Mechanic sport head, and I am running with the 40mm ITBs with EFI and EDIS.  The larger displacement bottom end will complete the performance plans I have for the engine.

There are a few different ways to do the 2.2L conversion, I am going to do it with a minimum of machine work required by using a combination of S14 and M10 parts:

• S14 crankshaft, rods, and harmonic balancer from an E30 M3
• S14 oil pump chain and gear
• Dual row timing chain
• Custom pistons
• M10 block bored out to 92mm
• Modified lower timing cover to fit the S14 front oil seal
• Crank trigger wheel and position sensor made for the S14
• 228mm aluminum flywheel with E30 M3 pressure plate

I'm planning on also installing an oil cooler as part of this project.  It is not completely necessary but I will be taking the car to some driver's schools at Watkins Glen and it's pretty cheap insurance against overheating as the E21 radiator is marginal on a 2.0L engine.

I picked up a complete 2.0L engine from a pick and pull for use on this project.  This allowed me to start work on the stroker build without the need to pull my current engine.

I have created separate pages for each major portion of this project.  Links to these pages are on the left side of this page.  I have tried to give a more detailed list of parts used on each page.
