Hi all, newbie here. This is my first post
I bought myself a 1989 Bonus 3 door a couple of months ago with plans to do a similar conversion to what fitzpodge is planning (once I've sorted a few things out first on the car). Plan was a 2.0 black top re-bored to fit c20let pistons. From various research I had thought that was the best option for robustness and power without excessive strain.
Forged Zetec pistons. Would these be from a ST turbo? What sort of power can they handle? Or are there any other known-to-work pistons around?
In regards to the rods I have read for the 2.0 C20LET that the standard rods will do so long as the bolts are upgraded (and pin modified to suit the piston). How true this is I'm not sure.
