Question about swapping. sort of

[91TalonTSi_53]

Ok I recently melted a hole in one of my pistons in my talon and was wondering if there is any differences between the 2.0 Non Turbo, and the 2.0 Turbo Engines? I was wondering if I could swap the Non Turbo in place of the old engine, and keep everything the same, like keep the turbo and all the other stuff like that so it is still has the turbo...

The internals on the NT are different (weaker) and have higher compression so your better off just rebuilding your motor.

I did some checking in the factory manual and there are some differences, but many parts are shared too:

Differences:
- Turbo has piston oil squirters for cooling. I am not sure if the NT engine even has provision for adding the squirters.
- NT has higher compression pistons
- NT has different cams (EZ swap though). Oops, check that, ony the intake cams are different.
- Turbo has knock sensor
- Turbo has pressure sensor

Hope this hepls
