You can probably change the 1.6 into a true 1600cc, maybe 1650 and the 1.4 into a true 1400cc or maybe 1450cc...

you can get the x14xe to a 1.6 but you need the x16xe bottom end

you would have to remove the engine from the car and strip it down, then send it off to engineers to get an over bore, then buy 4 new pistons and rings and all new gaskets and bearings.
in a word, no
