Interestingly, have a look at, and take some measurements from a 1.6 twincam from the mk1 toyota mr2
and compare to the sigma
Toyota basically copied the BDA for their 4A-GE engine (in the Mk1 MR2's), same bore and stroke, same size valves and similar port shapes/size. They also make similar power at similar revs. I can't find out much about the Sigma engines, whats the same/similar? They aren't regarded as being as good as a BDA or 4A-GE.
Well the 1.6 sigma ( zetec-se ) is capable of 200bhp with standard valve sizes and its a very very tuneable engine. Used by most of the major kit car companies now, caterham/westfield etc. Very underrated on internet forums lol but in practise a great range of engines
