Tsr 1.9 8v engine

Does anyone know anything about these engines I’m in the process of getting a used one it’s a 1.9 8v with the c pack head and 202 cam
What sort of performance?
Is the 1.9 a 1.8 bored out?

Itll be slight over bore on the 1800 block with some form of pistons depending when the engine was built.

Mild head work and mildish cam.

Performance wise completely depends on the rest of the car, is it older K-jetronic or newer electronic injection? But at a guess set up right in the region of 130-140bhp

I'd advise a full strip to see its state and what pistons have been used.

What did it come out of?

Once its apart the pistons should have a part number on them to sorce new pistons rings etc

There is a very limited choice when it comes to piston choices when overboreing blocks especially back then when CNC machines weren't in every machine shop.
