2.7l n/a s2k or turbo s2k?

[Chernoby1]

Unless you dodgy the car for the rest of your life, and intend on selling it on dodgily, the capacity must be stated on the Rego (which means it needs to be blue-slipped/engineered).

If it looks the same from the extirior (engine-wise) you will hardly ever have any problems. If you simply increased the stroke/bore and sold it, the owner will most likey think it is just a well preserved car.

A mate of mine bought a HQ Monaro to restore. Rego sticker said it was a 5L engine and it sold without hassles. After driving it around abit, he was suspicious of how it still made alot of power even considering its age. When they stripped the block and took some measurements, it turned out to be a 5.4L donk and had a very lumpy cam. They put it together again and recently sold the car. Because of the new flashy paint and new exhaust setup it did attract quite alot of police attention (main reason he sold it). Nobody ever assumed it was stroked/bored out and im 100% will stay registered as a 5L for the rest of its life.

While it is illegal, you must remeber that you are innocent until proven guilty. For them to charge you for false information, it would require them to strip down the block and take the measurements. To do this they would require a warrant and in the case that they are infact wrong, reimburse the owner (i think.. not sure). This makes it too expensive and risky. They will most likely get you to take an EPA test and other things, and charge you with that rather than proving you've failed to provide correct information.

The rule of engine capacity increase is directed at a engine conversion point of view as this is FAR more common than boring/stroking an engine.

There is only one 'real' risk with not stating the correct capacity of the car, Insurance. It is very likely that if your boring/stroking out a car it will be worth a large(-ish) sum of money. The insurance company will try to avoid paying you out any how they know if it comes to an accident (bad phrasing, they arent all bastards :P)



Now to get t the question at hand.... Driving either of those on a daily basis will be quite 'interesting' but i belive that the turbo set up would work better on the streets. My reasoning is that you simply dont need to hit boost and you have no problems =]
Now compare that to a stroke/bore increase. You would probably buy new cams for it, and if your doing that might aswell get rid of vtec and make it more reliable. Problem with that is, you wont be able to drive it at low revs without it being very akward, but rev higher up and you would feel something speshial :>

his p plater cant drive turbo. Well he can do his work on it , and when he sells it , takes the effort to fix it up with rta

Have a look at the dyno charts! Stroker kit is truely awesome.
