I have on order CP Forged pistons, Manley H beam conrods, stage 2 bc cams, titainium valve springs and retainers, ACL race bearing kit, ARP 2000 head studs, and a performance head gasket kit, all this is going into my uk spec impreza, what would happen if i run this on my standard ecu, will i melt the piston?

I have kind of run out of money as i am loosing my job but don't want to keep the car off the road when i put it back together...
not worth the risk.. the main influences on the map from your list will be the cams and the pistons.. the pistons will effect compression.. to high compression and it will detonate and cause damage.. the cams will through the fuelling and ignition out and need mapping in.

it should be okay for running in.. and it could be checked both for running in and after to check safe though.

Head gasket thickness can be used to tailor the compression of the engine also.
