Well, I don't sell this kind of thing, but if you guys learn about how to send the parts, I would be glad to go to the shop, buy them and send them to you.
Just tell me how you will send the money and what is the proper way to send them to Europe and I can do this. Would not be a problem.
Tomorrow I'll try to see the prices and convert to euros... No, you guys don't... Money... What's the money over there anyway?  In portuguese i think it would be "libras"...
Anyway, if anybody really wants it and if it is commercially viable, we can do this.

Looks fantastic! Just a few questions, is it DOHC? Interesting engine indeed, do you know who produces it? Or is it a chevy made engine?
100bhp is a good gain, are you looking for more after strengthening the bottom end, eg pistons, conrods.

it look identical to a 1.2 8v actually.. so i presume it has smaller bores to make it just the 1.0... probably some different internals......

Money is pounds, it'd probably be cheaper to send a few to a UK address and redistribute them when they get here. If you need a UK address to get a rough price for postage on, pm me.

100bhp is a good gain, are you looking for more after strengthening the bottom end, eg pistons, conrods.
It is SOHC, just like the 1.6 SOHC, same conrods, different bore x stroke: 71,1 x 62,9 mm. It's block is similar, if not equal, to the X16XE, except the internals, of course.
This 1.0 stuff is due to law regulations that made them cheaper, paying less taxes than the bigger engines.
We had a gain of approximately 50-60 horses, not 100... Unfortunately!
We are considering a fuel exchange, switching from gasoline to alcohol, that accepts more boost and produces more torque with less risks. It i also cleaner and cheaper...
But is corrosive and the fuel system will need an upgrade to deal with it. We don't plan to strenghten the internals... These parts (conrods and pistons) would cost more than everything we've done untill now...
