Subject: 1.6B engine tune up
   Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 07:11:39 -0400

I read an article that featured the Eunos Roadster tune up.  The main point
in tune up was the engine.  It seems that the owner went for "stroke up" -
whatever that means.   Normal stroke is 83.6mm but the tuned engine has
6mm up as well as new set of cam shaft.  Could you someone explain what all
these means and whether it's cost effective compared to - say - turbo or
supercharger?  There are many shops specilized in these kind of one off
items for engine tune up in Sydney and after the extractor, the possible
option will be engine tune up before any sort of body kits - what good is
it if the performance of the car can't match its look. 

 Dennis (^_^;

p.s. BTW the article I mentioned is in CarBoy May issue.

p.p.s. Is it good idea having the oil cooler for competition or just waste
of money?


p.p.p.s.  My next step after extractor will be the engine conversion to
increase 1.6B to 1.8.  I think there are several after market upgrade kits
available for 1.6B engine. :)
