Default 2.1 stroker with AVCS heads

Hi all

Hopefully somebody can help with this one?

Has anybody successfully fitted v9 AVCS heads from a Hawkeye to a 2.1 CDB stroker?

Cheers

They'll be no use having been manufactured for the 99.5 mm bore of the 2.5 engine.
You need V7 or V8 heads really.

UK Hawkeye heads are chambered for 2.5 99.5mm pistons, so wont work with a 2.1 stroker as that runs 92mm pistons

As above you you can't run 2.5L hawkeye heads on a 2.1.

JDM Big port heads ideally or UK STi heads will be good too,but everything depends on what power you are thinking to run

Ahhhhh! Could be worse, not like I just bought v9 heads and had them refurbed for a total of £650! Tw@t!

Ok, what issues are there with the ECU from a Hawkeye and earlier heads?

Cheers for the replies guys!

Bugger, thats an expensive lesson.

Pinned 2.5 block will take you to 500 no probs but i think that will cost more than a 2.1

Not too bothered because the heads will resell but just need to know if there will be any issues with the Hawkeye and an older set of heads?

Anybody know if v8 avcs heads will run fine in a Hawkeye? Any issues with avcs and speed sensors. I am told that the secondary air pump and tumble generator valves?

I am very close to having to make a decision on selling my 2.1 stroker and sourcing/building a pinned 2.5.

Ideally I want keep the engine I have just built but don't want issues running it in my Hawk.
