Look at the topic 'BIG BORE' :roll: 78mm pistons instead of 75mm. I think they are from the Ford TX3 Turbo ( high silica content ). So it's a little more than 1700cc but is supposed to give a nice increase in torque along with hi-flow air filter and exhaust. Everything else can stay stock. Also used on 1.3 GTi"s for the 1.5 conversion.
1600 big bore...

Hmmm... I might have to hang onto my 1600 blocks and start building some funky engines...

Hey Moose, if you do at some stage get off your lazy a$$
see if you can find out what these pistons do to the compression ratio.
Pretty please, with sugar on top
