Default Standard 1.6 CVH bottom end same as Turbo?

Hi guys hope your well. I am planing on Turbo'ing my 1989 1.6 GL Estate and i hav a quick question for you guys.

The engine currently in it is stupidly low miles and i have some standard size RS Turbo Pistons and Conrods in the garage. Apart from the Pistons, is there any other difference in the bottom ends?

Ie are they same crank and flywheel?


Before you all say it, i will be putting the Turbo oil return into the sump......

Thanks in advance

Danny

Differences I can think of:
Oil return, pistons, top piston ring, gudgeon pins, crank bearing edges radiused, con rod bearings.
