Important Information
Final engine capacity and compression ratio may vary slightly depending on the exact crankshaft stroke, piston specification, deck height, cylinder-head combustion-chamber volume and head-gasket thickness.
Achievable power will depend on the complete engine specification, turbocharger, boost pressure, fuel system, fuel type and ECU calibration. Professional installation, running-in and dyno tuning are strongly recommended.
