Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

So all the trouble of boring out a 20 block to fit a 25 head for what?

Its still a 20 head just with a 26 crank and SR20 rods from what I remember of them. The bores are way different 20 vs 25 they're like 80mm in the 20 and 86 in the 25 lol.

So a stroked 20 essentially? Still a dirty 20 then Martin.

Yep essentially that. So you still have to deal with the shit head on the 20.

I can understand the point of it if you want to run in a class that requires original engine, makes sense but you could probably go just as well spending the money on a good turbo set up for it etc.

Run the pinny in street class instead?

That's what I thought, few decent bolt-ons and you're good to go.

That would require registering it with a full weld in cage.

why dafaq you wanna do that???

May as well just put a 26 in it

Bit more capacity, not going to cost that much more than rebuilding a 25 bottom end, I can still use all my bolt ons, etc.

26 into a 31 is a multi million dollar excersize, and I'd basically have to start from scratch. Why the f*ck would I want to do that?

Why? a 60 with hydraulic lifters. I still say 25/30.

See above.

25/30 is a possible option but will probably need a bigger turbo.

Put down the crack pipe and just get a 26?

See above.

If thats the case I'd just stick with getting another 25 into it. extra money spent on the 26 crank would be better spent on tyres and entry fees.

The difference between the two is only 70cc anyway i doubt it will make that much difference

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
