One for Frank?

[red menace]

I'm looking for ways to increase power output without going for forced induction. Does anyone know the distance between the big and small end bearings for CG10 or CG13 rods?

Frank - you must have a set of pistons and rods lying around somewhere?

Hope nobody minds me introducing myself with a question like this. I've lurked here (and on .com.au) for a fair while, but this is the first time I have had occasion to post on this forum.

im not frank but ill have a go at answering, lol

start with cams, maybe an exhaust too, some people have used 1.6 injectors and throttle body, however to gain the most from these mods ideally you would need a remap,

not sure on the big end bearings but the little end are the same, so too are the 5 crank main bearings, so id assume there the same.

hi red menace
i assume you want the measurement between the big and little ends ?
its hard to measure that, but i get the amount of metal between them to 90,4mm for the 1.3, and 99.1 for the 1.0, a difference of nearly 9mm.
but you could work it out anyway from the strokes, because there is the same 19mm of piston crown on both engines
(but the 1.4 has a shorter crown and longer stroke, but same rod as a 1.3)

Hi Frank,
Yes, that was exactly the info I was after. Thankyou very much

hi i realise most of my post was useless i read distance as differance, lol
