You can indeed use 8v pistons in a 16v engine. The block is exactly the same you see, only the head is different therefore the pistons are interchangeable.
With regards to the AHMotorsports 2.0l conversion it is genuine. The extra capacity is achieved by using a specially built crank which gives a longer stroke as well as larger pistons.
I think awesome things are achieveable through turbocharging a converted 2.0l 16v if done properly. As I said before it is the gearbox which is a big constraint. AH Motorport have achieved 260 bhp using a normally aspirated 2.0l 16v. Could even go with 2 turbos!
What is the most ammount of HP that any one has ever put through a 16v gearbox? Perhaps everyone should post the max they have ever put through one of these transmissions.
