It's an R16 motor that has been assembled with a crankshaft that has a longer
stroke (I
can't remember the specific crank that is usually used) and, by necessity,
shorter
connecting rods, to increase displacement. Engine displacement = Cylinder area
x stroke
length, so increasing the stroke will increase the displacement. There are
tradeoffs,
though, as a longer stroke is going to limit, or at least reduce, your maximum
engine
speed.
