1835cc is the most popular displacement bump for a Type 1, and this is EMPI's thick-wall machine-in version (98-1958-B) — 92mm cylinders with extra wall material for more strength and cooling surface than a standard 92mm slip-in set. The hypereutectic high-silicon-alloy pistons run with minimal expansion for long service life. This is a machine-in set: your case and heads must be cut for 94mm to clear the thicker cylinders.

Features

  • 92mm bore × 69mm stock stroke = 1835cc displacement
  • Thick-wall cast-iron cylinders — stronger and cooler-running than a standard 92mm slip-in
  • Hypereutectic aluminum-alloy pistons, high silicon content for low thermal expansion
  • Complete set of 4: cylinders, pistons, rings, wrist pins, and clips
  • Runs the stock 69mm crank — no stroker crank required

Machining required: case machined for 92mm and heads cut for 94mm to clear the thick-wall cylinders. This is a machine-in set, not a slip-in.

Super fun!
Size: 8.5, Color: Red Pepper
These are so fantastic! The color is amazing! It is a bit on the tomato-red side of the color-wheel. The fit is great. They are comfortable from the 1st step. Easy to walk in.

Love them
Size: 5.5, Color: Red Pepper
I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes! They’re true to size and comfortable. Because of the material feet might sweat easier if hot but they dry quick. Quality is great and the color looks good, it’s more of a orange/red color. I got a 5.5 size
