Regarding bore size, 93mm is the safe maximum, though I have built many 205 blocked engines on 94mm bore with no issues. If you suspect bore porosity then it is best to liner the block anyway, and then you can run up to 94mm with no issues.

Hope that helps.
Is that what they call the 2.1 conversion? What is a good piston to put in there? I understand from someone that u can fit a 2.8 piston from maybe a golf in there? Do u know anything from that?
