it seems there are more people around with hot/turbo/supercharged 202s than i thought. ive seen a few of the guys on here with some nice old 6's.

who else has a hot 6 here? im interested in seeing who else has taken that path in their early commodore??

I've done a bit of work to my 173....I wouldn't call it a hot 6, but maybe a mild 6.

- 173 (blue motor) bored out 130thou to a 186
- Flat top pistons
- Crow cam
- Crow performance valve springs
- JP straight cut timing gears
- JP oil pump
- High compression 173 head, shaved 10thou for that little bit extra compression
- Fully balanced bottom end
- ACL Monotorque gaskets
- ACL rings
- New waterpump/fuel pump/lifters/alternator/starter
- Chrome rocker cover/side plates/oil pump cover/thermostat housing
- Bright yellow paint! :)

That's roughly bout it.

Looks good danny! I had a nitrous fed 202 at one stage. Gave a few decent v8's a scare but at the end of the day performance is really with the v8 motor. The 202 blocks can only handle about 320rwkw before they break. They are a good little motor though! I have a soft spot for them!

well ive been hunting round and theres a few guys still getting some power that well and truely rivals the v6 and even the 5.0;)

i know most ppl dont like em, thats fine.

yeah i agree looks pretty cool!
well obviously the v8 will always be better off in the long run, but 320rwkw is still plenty of fun lol. i just like the idea of doing something different, and seeing the look on V8 drivers faces when my old 'no good' 202 pulls away;)

The varajet will be staying on there for a while....it's only a few days old :p

I mainly did mine up as a learning curve. Next time will definitely be a V8 (well sometime in the near future). I've spent close to $2500 on the old 173, which could of easilly paid for a whole EFI 5.0L conversion with change left over.....which obviously would of been the better choice lol.

i agree that money can def. be better spent and that the 202 is now power house
but thats only in n/a form. with a decent combo and forced induction, its a different story. thers a few ppl pushing more than 300rwkw out of them, but that is where the block decides to call it quits, obviously nto all blocks though
its a great engine to start with in terms of first modified car and what not, so dont dicsount that just yet.
theyre not all bad ;)
