I'm one of those lucky guys who has a 1.0 lump of an engine 8) . I've got a 1.3 with the driveshafts which im gettin boared out, polishing the head etc. I really havent got a clue about engines so thats why im postin this! What else can I get done which will increase performance, and what new parts will I need (Bigger fuel pump etc.)?
May there be any other problems I could face when I eventually put it in?
All replies will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone.

Oh yer, im sure I saw a topic once which was about a 1.3 turbo or sumthing :wink: ?

increasing the displacment has a link to increase in torque, but it won't give you masses of BHP.

Best bet for BHP is to lay your hands on a pair of Dellorto's or Webbers (40') and a manifold to suit. Following that a cam and maybe invest a few ?100's in some decent headwork (big valves e.t.c)

After that , if your wanting a more "revvy" engine, you could splash some cash in the direction of lightening and balancing e.t.c

What kind of Valves, ones from a bigger Vx or performance ones? I'm looking to up the power in my 1400 now its going to be rebuilt.

my lowly 1200 has 1.6 valves (although they are 1.2 length so cost mroe) fitted to the head, with appropriate headwork.

Not an exact fit then, where abouts would you go to get the 1600 ones modified to work Stu?

I wanna go Civic Hunting!! :twisted:

you would need to go to a decent engine builders/enigineers place with a 1.6 valve and a 1.2 valve and ask for the same size head as the 1.6 but same valve seat - stem top length as the 1.2 valve.

im sure you can get them wasited etc but mine arent due to the revs and cam profile i want, needing as much metal on the stem as possible lol.
