I remember a topic years ago about this. A bloke was admiment his GSi was a 1.8 and he'd used the original block. HE got slated big time. When he had his feature later that year it was a 1.6 16v with exhaust, nothing else

I dont think the blcok walls are thick enough to bore out 200cc. Even the 2.0 can only be bored out to 88mm (2.1).

Will give you a little extra power, little more torque.

for insurance reasons he wants to bore his lump out a little, and get a better compression ratio by skimming its skull down a bit
