Peugeot 103 Tuning
This aluminum cylinder features a Nikasil-coated bore, 6 transfer ports, and a basic exhaust port. It comes with a 46mm single-ring piston designed for strong performance at higher RPMs. That said, power delivery is excellent across the whole rev range — with good midrange torque and a noticeable bump in top speed.
A cylinder head isn’t included — just reuse your original one.
To get the most out of this kit, we recommend at least a 15mm carb, an entry level tuning exhaust, and a reinforced crankshaft.
Note: As a 70cc kit, it’s not street-legal.

Aluminium cylinders
Aluminium cylinders are more powerful than cast iron cylinders, but require more regular maintenance and must be combined with different components such as a reinforced crankshaft and a larger carburetor.
