what would happen if i used the standard pistons with this conversion.


basically putting the head on the bottom end and not lowering the compression at all???

allegedly the standard zetec pistons are good for up to 1 bar, plenty of people have used them... skimmed, unskimmed, spacer plate etc. but as with any non forged piston in a turbo engine its always a bit of a risk.

so in that case so it is alright to use standard pistons unskimmed and NO decom plate either???
the pistons a from a 94 mondeo so they are the stronger ones..
12PSI is all i want to run .....

would it cause the car to smoke on acceleration and when reved???
