Upping a 1.9 DG

Post by doenut82 »

Has anyone ever bored out a 1.9dg to more bhp or would be easier to use the 2.1 heads on it ?

can't bore them as they have removable barrels but you can buy big bore barrel and piston kit, heads are same for DG and DJ 2.1

2.1 DJ is better than a big bore kit for a DG because big bore kits are low compression. Big bore kits are expensive too.

cheaper to get a 2.1 DJ high comp or 2.1 MV low comp and rebuild that
