Would a CDB insert into a SCDB make for a block as strong as a original CDB?

 

these seem to work quite well...........

The simple literal answer is No.
Two different materials.

However Alyns solution posted is way more than strong enough and a no brainer if you are going down the 2.5 road.
AS Performance and SMG/Roland Alsop are the only two people would let machine a subaru block of mine.

 

Oi, stop posting links to **** on s/n

 

How much is the block conversion alyn?

 

Its about £500 or a little less if I recall

 

Is that supplying your own block ?

 

Yep

 

What does a cd block go for ?

 

Anywhere between 3 and 400 quid.

 

If your looking at a 2.5 I'm not entirely sure if they exist in CDB

 

2.1 I am looking at having

 

the work can be sorted on any 4cyl EJ20, EJ22 or EJ25 open or semi-closed block as well as the 6cyl EG33 & EZ30 engines

we also cover various Focus RS, Vauxhall, Suzuki, Volvo 5cyl, etc. applications

prices vary dependant on the exact block and works required - contact the office direct for a full quote

 

A 2.1 CD block is what I will be looking for.

 

to be pedantic what your after doesn't exist - you want an EJ20 CDB.......

i will most likely have one or two that can be supplied bare or fully machined, soda blasted, etc depending on what you want to pay as well as any components, gaskets, etc.............

best contact the office direct

 

Let me try again..i will be looking for a 2.0 cdb which I will have built into a 2.1.
