VTR bore and compression rates

[PeZLy]

Hi
this is my first post on this site.

i was wondering does any one know what is the biggest but safest engine bore and compression rates you can run a 52 plate VTR as i can get this done cheap :) and it will add a noticable amount of power.

also i i can get the port polish, balanced and skimmed on the cheap.

thanks

The bore walls are quite thin so if chasing big power you dont want to go massively oversized.

I dont know off the top of my head what most people feel are within the tollerances

id like to know how you can get a larger bore cheap? as you would need oversize pistons.

i know someone that rebuilds engines from scratch so he will get all the parts for me and do all the tinkering
