Audi a3 8l 1.8t (changes/tuning)

[Henrik Antunes]

Hi guys, I'm thinking about making some changes to the car, one of which is making changes to the block. They told me that it was possible to increase the car's engine capacity from 1.8 to 2.0 by enlarging the car's cylinders by grinding. I don't know if it's possible to do it on mine. They told me it depended on the engines. But I wanted to know your opinion and if anyone has tried it or has knowledge about it. Thanks

Take a look at this article I did 3 years ago. I'd advise against boring out the block in my opinion. Especially when you can get good gains with a 1.8t with a stock block.
