TSV-1300/30 Kit came with the same parts as the TS-1200 but also included a 69.5mm chrome-moly crank which gave a capacity of 1295cc - the stock stroke at that time being 64mm. The crank was also '8 doweled' to the flywheel, an upgrade still used in todays performance flat 4's. There was some clearencing necessary in order for the con-rods to miss the camshaft.

The inlet manifolds were fabricated from steel and then chrome-plated with a small outlet on each for a balance pipe running between the two. The carbs were Solex 32mm and were fitted with Knecht air-filters.
