well,pretty much as the title says.looking for some input into this.im led to believe the 1.3 has dished pistons as standard which means its ripe to strap a turbo onto.but,unless im mistaken this would mean the 1.3 without a turbo would be a low compression engine,and thus would be down on power and upon fuel consumption. so with that in mind,my plan is to build a 1.3 with the flat-top pistons from a 1.0,gas-flow the head,fit double valve springs and shave excess metal off the conrods and crankshaft.not gonna bother lightening the flywheel cos its never gonna be a track-burner,and gonna keep the 1.0 gearbox.so any info/help/guidance/counsel from anyone in the know on this would be gratefully accepted and appreciated.
flat-top pistons in a 1.3..anyone did this?
