    Are we talking cylender boor of the saxo engine? If so the 954 is ~70mm, 1124 is ~72mm, 1360 is ~ 75 and 1587 is ~78.5mm. I put ~ as this is approximate and for example the 954 was actually from 70mm up to 70.03mm. The bore on the Iron block engine is literally bored in to the block. The alloy engines used cast iron liners that were inserted and they contained the bore.

    If you have a smaller engine saxo you just put a larger one in to get more cc. If you already have a 1587cc engine and want more cc there is not much you can get from a over bore, Most people who want more cc use a long stroke crank as well as a larger bore and pistons. Just parts alone for this will cost you over £2000 and you will also have to budget for a engine rebuild as well. This will take you to around 1850cc. There are a few tuners out there that will fit you a 2ltr engine for similar cash. though you will have to provide the 2ltr engine. Or you can just get a stock Saxo engine turbo charged for similar cash. That is the most common one.
