Does anyone know of a shop that will do a quality fill and redrill in Sacramento?

I havent heard of one. Ive seen some pretty good ones here on the board. If i were to do it id find out where they sent theirs and do the same.

Kronus is going to get pissed you're asking questions....

No. No I don't. What wheels are you fill and drilling? Can you not run adapters?

You definitely don't need custom pistons to run the 885 head on the Eta block.

i would "need" to, because i would not be happy with the CR that results from just bolting the two together- but this discussion has become annoyingly academic. rob seems to want to mod his eta engine- not swap or build a new one, but modify the one he's got- that's the question i'm answering. as that engine is delivered, the cam is the big bottleneck that's semi-easy to address with some parts you can find at a P&P, a few bucks to a machine shop & some wrench time. that's all.

That will probably be my next step, I just wanted to try and keep it local first. The wheels I'm trying fill&drill are style 5's.

Hello from thunderhill. 323i's overheating a bit :(

time for an oil cooler out of a late model

The 200 head itself is far too restrictive to bother swapping the cam and springs without extensive port work. installing a B25 cam and springs in to an Eta engine still won't get you to stock 2.5L power.

ya the 8.5:1 isnt that bad


matt, how did that port go on your 200 project?

I had a set of style 5's i was going to fill and drill myself but never got around to it. Now im either going to get rons 5-lug kit or machine my own centers.
