Assuming the modified 1.6 will run reasonably well in its present form, the most likely problem you may encounter is the higher compression ratio, which may not be that much higher at all, and you can compensate for that with lower boost and the water injection. I'd be concerned about taking care of other possible problems, like the clutch and cooling. Do you have a stonger clutch in the present car? Did it run cool enough before it failed? Were there any problems with the transmission? ...Those are the things I'd want to sort out, especially if this is going to be a warm-garage winter project. Jerry aka LGO
