I'm guessin dat it was bigger valves, higher copresion, no polution crap, ummmmm, da early tx had a diff exhorst manifold i think. maybe u could squeeze out da extra 10 odd kw from dat shit.

Well Drifta is right, all that shit does it, but there isnt a G160 and G161. They are all G161Z just with different builds.

potentially a stupid question, but what sort of difference that that make performance wise, between the 64(?)kw tx and the later models? dont shoot me down, im still learning Smile

G160 = Non x Flow, pushrod 1.6 found in bellets.
G161z = SOHC X Flow, Gemini.

The power differences come from the heads. Big noticable difference in driving the 63kw engine as compared to the 50 (in the geminis ive driven anyway.)
