I think the difference is in the stroke rather than the bore size. You can fit a 1.8 head, and even a VVC head on a 1.6 engine. This is a common mod for 1.6 engines and there are a few 1.6VVCs, especially popular with Euro tuners.
Excellent, thanks
I thought I'd read somewhere about it fitting but for some reason it just wouldn't sink in as a working idea :confused:
Do you know of any comparisons between the tuned 1.6, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0 VVCs? From what I remember (or maybe dreamed :shake:) the 1.6 produces more tourque than the higher variants. Does that sound familiar or do I need to start on my pills again :bye:
