Default 1900 cvh bottom ends

bought myself a 1.9 american tall block a few weeks ago off ebay that was knocking. it came out of a s1 rs turbo so im gona put my stage 3 power engineering head on with a power engineering camshaft in and have my turbo re-conned to stage 2 spec. what i would like to know is what do the 1.9s drive like compared to a 1.6 cvh? i loved driving my rst as it was nice off boost you could just cruise around and when it came on boost you`d wait a sec then you would get a shove and it would pull hard. i prefer the aggressive power delivery compared to a smooth one on say an astra gsi turbo. any weak links on the 1.9? gona get arp rod bolts as extra security

cheers
