nope will be buying a set of low compression forged pistons, about£4-500 a set. Will be using the standard rods though. Am going down this route as it will mate up with the type 9 gearbox. Am a bit unsure about the inlet which one to use?? think its the 1.8 zetec intake of the XR2i

would like between 200-250bhp, I like the zetec cause it so easyily suited to rwd, whereas all the other engine types arnt. I was thinking of a red top but I this I need the sound of turbo shatter lol

std rods will cope with 300bhp, anymore is a push.
try passionford for more info as alot of people are doing these conversions,
efi or standalone management?

no offence here but that charge carrier will be pointing towards the back of the car when fitted, or are you going to modify it to face the other way?
