rings are rings, the bores of the two engines are the same so the vauxhall rings will be fine, you would use the pug con rod so no problem with shells, mabye have to modify the little end of the conrod to accept the vauxhall wrist pin.lozz wrote:Poxhall pistons in a puggy

reason i ask is a chap i know quite well was on about somthing with the XU10J4RS engine, he was gonna use the crank from a xud9te in ths gti6 engine (XU10J4RS) he said somthing abouth because of the throw it would increse the cc to 2.1, this guy is the mutts nuts with pugs he's currently building a high boost charged 306 that should be seeing 350-400bhp, so if ur intressted in building a fast engine from ur spare i'll point u to him and he can give you some idea's
