Just seen this pop up on eBay, thought that there was a bargain to be had here who was looking to turbocharge their engine. Can't really go wrong. I would have a go myself but i've already gone down the throttle body route. Tempting though...

To fit these pistons it is necessary to have the cylinder bores bored out by the extra 2mm to the 81mm. This will in effect make your 1.6 16V into a 1.8 16V engine. Vauxhall used the old 1.6 bottom end (bored out in this way) and combined it with a newly designed head to create the 1.8 16V engine found in the Corsa C SRi. A very safe conversion. Will be no problems due to this work being carried out.


Really?
