1.6ltr/1.7ltr engines.

Ok so I digress....It seems that my information is only partially right
the 1.6 does make more HP, but it is 78hp @ 5500 rpm.74hp on the 1.7. @5000 rpm
Also it seems that the torque on the 1.7 is a bit better 90 @ 3000 while the 1.6 is 83 @ 3200
 
Oh well.....still one would think that the greater displacement would yield a different result
Go figure.

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?
