Mg metro turbo engines were 1275s and are the same as other 1275
What exactly do you mean by as much power as possible? Engine cc would be the least of my worries

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*

Just boring out more CC's don't mean you get more power, it's what you build as a whole package which determines what your engine is like. There's so many variables. Do you want 150, 200, 250, 300 hp? Unless you tell us the budget and it's likely use we can't really help. If you just tell us you want the most bhp possible were just going to assume you're a millionaire *tongue*

no point going to 1380
1293 leaves plenty of meat in the bores
then run around silly boost on a big turbo should get around circa 300hp *happy*

seriously you have to think whether you want a big RR figure but useless on the road until high rpm's or a smaller number but useable power
