You would need to know what pistons you have and the size of the decompression plate to have a chance of working out the cr. If they are standard zetec pistons you can find out what the standard cr is and go from there

I am sure someone else will have a better idea.

yeah but i bought the engine off some one that works at mtec automotive but he tells so many lies he says that with the standerd ecu u just turn the boost up and ecu adjusts fuel to suit it and says it will run fine which is rubbish it that was true u wouldnt need chips and the scary thing is he is a rolling road and re maping specailst so still need ratio and have no clue all this is new to me
