Re: new engine question!!

N/T motors have high compression pistons in there. If you take the stock N/T motor and drop it in place in a turbo motor, you're more than likely going to blow something up. The motors aren't made for high compression turbo applications.

So, the best way to do that would be to get the N/T block, swap pistons to low compression turbo pistons, and then swap motor in.
