If you've looked, there isn't much "meat" in the 2.3-16 cylinder bores to take away, but it can be done. The 2.5-16 modified piston stroke to up the displacement, although I recall that euro tuner Oettinger did bore out motor to get to 2.5.

You dont want to go bigger then 2.5, the engine will not run as smoothly.
There are stroker kits, thats about all you want to do.

Yes I have one in my backyard, what do you want a male or female?
Prices start at $15,000,000,000,000.00

It has been a few years but I have visited a site selling stroker kits.

If it's the Bekkers site, then those are extinct. If it's another site, then Jurassic Park may exist.
