ive posted a thread previously about building a 1.0 engine with a bit more balls than the standard.this is on the basis that 1.0 engines are ten a penny and i could pick up a high-miler for practically nothing and engineer it at my leisure.but eventually i will find a 1.3 k11 that has failed its mot and save it from the rice factory in the sky.but before i transplant this engine id like to do some internal upgrading on that too.
im led to believe the 1.3 has dished pistons.the laws of physics dictate that this must be a low compression engine then.especially if ppl are whacking turbos onto them without engineering the internals.
this brings me to my question.if i swap out the dished pistons for flat-tops and raise the compression,wouldnt it be better on fuel,and possibly about 10% quicker too?
