so what is the biggest my 2.7 base motor can be taken to. If I were to have it pulled and re-worked... whats the biggest it can go without having issues? Might be a dumb question but I really dont know the answer...

2.9L increasing the bore from 85.5 to 89mm.
Thats one of my oldest combinations, the first M96 that we created was a 2.9 :-)

Hi Mr. Raby,
Why is that option not listed on the (flat6innovations) site? There doesn't seem to be a 2.7 - 2.9L option that I could find.
Thanks,
Strich9

Lots of things aren't on the site, purposely. Over the years lots of copycats have arrived and because of that I keep the site with minimal content. We stay busy enough doing it this way, we maintain a 10 month backlog :-)
The 2.9 literally cost the same as doing a 3.6 or 3.8 big bore for a larger base engine, because of that we hardly build the 2.9 combo these days. Typically they are for racers that have a displacement limit and must stay below 3 liters.

So in reality what really woult that add in power. Sounds minimal?

Looks like more than just increasing bore. I think they use lighter pistons, better heat dispersion, better coating, etc that should combine with the displacement increase. Maybe 50hp over stock? around 265-270 (with larger injectors) would be my wild guess. I could be wrong...
