1.6ltr/1.7ltr engines.

Hmmmm...
I have no idea! Head appears to be the same, cam, exhaust manifold, downpipe, exhaust system...all
the same.
It's just got more displacement.
Beats the hell out of me.

> So here is something that has baffled me for a while now. How come a 1.6 8v engine generates more
power than an 1.7 8v? I figure that it has to do with exahust restrictions and the like. Any other
reasons? and also how to bring up the 1.7 to a similar power band?
