Ok i did a search and came up with several different views. I want to get more top end without losing my low end and i have an 1.6 8v lying in my shop floor. Im currently running a 1.3 FI in my 92 Suzuki Samurai. I was wondering if it would be benificial to swap the heads (keeping the FI already on my 1.3)? What are the cam specs, and CC differences. i thought about just swapping the cams. I read in one post that the 1.6 with a steel head gasket yieled more compression than the stock 1.3 and read the opposit in another post. Who makes hi compression pistions for the 1.3. I also heard something about using honda pistons d16.

A 1.3 head works on a 1.6.

The guys at this site know their suzuki engines and I saw a thread over there about Honda pistons.:D
