warm it up, sunday drives, loooong, got it. And yes I did know about the oil notches, I have had this done in other cars, and if done properly "properly being a key term" it will not affect the structural integrity so that shearing occurs. I do also realize that larger 1.5, or replacement pistons are damn near impossible to come by and if so are impossibly exspensive. I, like soo many others, was intensely curious about the "non-stroked" rotating assy. of the 1.5; since these engines are smaller, they can attain revvs that normal "much larger" diesel engines find impossible, what could that do combined with the ability to throw a rather copious abount of boost into it? the lower compression would aid to engine longevity, and fuel economy "to a certain point" and high performance which is the shan-gri-la of performance tuning. The entire idea behind this thread was not to explore if this was possible, but to do it. It has become increasingly pressing, that huge losses in both performance and fuel economy as well as engine longevity are at stake. Since that was what I was trying to achieve in the first place, I will have to move on. In conclusion, is the 1.6 a better displacement and suitable combustion chamber size for what I am trying to achieve? I am at a bit of a loss to some of the math and/or formulas used to calculate these losses "thermodynamics I take it?". I suppose not all of us would need to take this into consideration when building an engine normally, however, this is an entirely different set of circumstances. Never was a big fan of applied math for dynamic applications, too many variables, too much speculation of a failed achievemant and no action on the acting parties part. I won't do it, not now, simply because I only want to build this thing once and want it to run for a looong time, and don't want to sink a small fortune into it.
Thanks again guys,
Kevin
