im wanting to have my f7r forged but would also like it maybe bored out to a 2.1 or 2.2 (if possible).

2.1 I think is the max Danny@519 automotive is your guy he built mine

[turbominicooper]

He's got a forged 2.1 f7 lump that belongs to some handsome bastard, sat on a stand at his workshop at the moment 8-) 2.1 is deffo the maximum you can go to with wossner pistons & I doubt trying to find other makes with bigger sizes will be worth the time money or effort

[Coops]

forged for what purpose? if its turbo then overbore is pointless, just weakens the block for no good reason or gain, standard bore would be fine

What is needed for a turbo conversion coops? as a novice i'm asking what needs to be strengthened i guess... pistons. etc..

Well, you can just boost it up np, but for proper power and reliability low compression forged pistons, rods and ARP bolts are a good idea with a decent head gasket too. Coops went through more than one HG I seem to remember! You will also need a different MAP sensor, and at the minimum a 'log' manifold for the turbo to bolt onto, and a different downpipe. After that, an intercooler is a good idea with additional pipework for the setup. Car would need to be mapped as well, or get an off the shelf low or high boost ECU.

You mean like Justin did? :lol:

[Coops]

low boost, nothing, that's upto about 9psi an 220 odd bhp, 180 lb/ft

above that, pistons are advisable and after that no idea, tbh never actually tested anything to destruction so no idea.

but tbh, set of rods and pistons and your good for 500bhp +
