Must be Red, even 2.2 5S blocks don't go that high!

Paper thin bore walls!![]()
MrSpleen, you'll be wanting 86mm or 86.5mm pistons, not 89mm.
Stock bore is 86mm.

Apparently a stock block, but pretty sure they actually beefed it up substantially.I was talking to a reputable engine builder a few years ago about this, he'd seen one in South Africa for sale- apparently looked very similar to the 3SGTE until you tried to pick it up, when you realised it weighed twice as much!
Interesting bit of history..
.I'm really keen to see how you get on trying to run such wide pistons in a stock block.
What turbo will you run, and how much boost? Will you sleeve the block?
Very interesting..
