I'm pretty sure that Ian from IRB has done a lightened and balanced TD5 bottom end and I know of others that have been stroked to 2.8. It is possible to overbore but not by much so best save that in case you need anything more than a little honing.
A little work can be done to the head to make it flow better, not sure about bigger valves yet.
A re-worked 15p engine is on my 2013 rebuild shopping list! |
