the number refers to how much bigger than standard they are. and to put the bigger pistons in, the cylinder needs to be matched to the size of the piston.

as for the difference due to sizes, you are slightly changing the capacity of the motor, so you will get fractionaly more power, as you can get more air and fuel into the chamber.

oh i see , so i would have to bore out the cylinders?

that sounds very expense... i would just go for standard i rekkon

it also depends on how worn the head is. i know that with motocross bikes, after a few rebuilds you have to start changing piston sizes to keep the compression up, as the bore wears over time. but i don't know how much that applies to cars. never had to do a rebuild.

      Boost level and torque curve

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
