    Re: need performance parts

    Cams, Valvesprings = Bisimoto.com
    Pistons = B-series 83mm pistons, aftermarket. Arias makes some.
    Rods = Any B-series rod will work, Our stock length is 137mm so rods from the B18A/B18B will work
    Crank = N/a

    Our stock bore is 82.7mm so with a .3mm overbore you can run these parts. There are no aftermarket cranks for us.

    you don't need a performance crank the cranks are pretty much bullet proof, the only minor modification i've heard of was to replace the driven in oil galley plugs with threaded plugs locktited in place, other then that you aren't going to kill the crank

    Re: need performance parts

    Do you really need aftermarket internals? How much power do you want to make? What's your redline? If you're doing a hi-po build do you have a way to tune it? What other mods are you planning? The stock parts are pretty tough so unless you have some serious mods in mind you may not need better internals.

    Re: need performance parts

    were theres a will theres a way doesnt exactly sound like you know what the hell your talking about. tuneing has more to do with the power then throwing some aftermarket rods and pistons onto a motor.

    as for the header the only one that still semi easy to find will be a DC sports one, but its going to have to be from a member selling a used one as there not made anymore

    stock crank, stock cam. eagle B18a/b rods (h beam) are a drop in replacement provided you switch to larger wrist pins when you get custom pistons. Diamond forged pistons are excellent, and the customer service is very good as well.

    Re: need performance parts

    If your gunning for the fastest then you need to get stuff custom made, the rods you can use aftermarket but the pistons you should get diamond ones or JE, have two sets made up one with exhaust relief on one side and another with relief on the other side, that way you get max CR ratio. Key to these engines is high CR ratio getting upto 11:1 or higher is the way to go but everything else needs to be inplace still.
    Ready made header won't help you, you'll need a custom one as the primaries and secondaries as wel as collector on the ones available are too small, S&S do a 4-1 which you can weld a larger collector and main pipe to to join onto a exhaust system of 2.5", 2.25" system mandrel bent will cope with around 200bhp but more you'd really need 2.5".
    The head is where you really need to spend some cash and you'll be looking at custom valves, new bronze guides, headwork, exhaust port rework, chamber unshrouding and polishing, 5 angle seats radiused with matched valve heads etc.
    And yes all this will take time and reasonable amount of wedge to get done, no more expensive than any other well built high power engine but certiainly more than you would have to spend on a popular engine thats built in the thousands every day and has huge aftermarket support.

    Honestly to get serious power from the A20 you need lots of boost. It's not cheap but turbo conversions are reasonably well explored territory. Tuning is of course the difference between a well performing engine and a bomb.

    If you're game for a swap then the sky is the limit. That is unless your wallet gives up first.
