Gotta Question?? Lets pole answers

I was looking through the site and found something that caught my eye!
I copied and pasted it into note pad but you could use the link to get a better view.

90-91 Plymouth Laser Specs

Model Trim: RS Turbo / RS / Laser
Engine Code: 4G63T (turbo) / 4G63T (turbo) / 1.8L (non-turbo)
Engine Specs: 16 valve, 2.0L, DOHC/ 16 valve, 2.0L, DOHC /8 valve, 1.8L, SOHC
Turbo: 14b (13g a/t) / N/A / N/A
Horsepower: 195 / 135 / 92
Drivetrain: FWD / FWD / FWD

Pros:


Stock "6-bolt" blocks are believed to be immune to crankwalk
Better flowing cylinder head ports than 2g cars
Bigger connecting rods through 92.5 model year
Bigger intake manifold and (60mm) throttle body
Stock 14b turbo has most power potential (A/T cars came with smaller 13g)
'90 models came with air-to-air oil coolers
Steel BOV
Stronger suspension than 2g cars
Both LSD rear differential and ABS on 92 models and up

Cons:


Smaller exhaust manifold that cracks
Smaller O2 housing
Smaller 10.2" front calipers on pre 92.5 model year cars
Single-piston calipers on pre 92.5 model year cars
Weaker 3-bold rear differential
Pre 91 model year cars came with LSD or ABS, not both
Only some models came with an EPROM ECU
The worst ABS system among DSMs
---------------------------------------------------

Now does this mean the1990 plymouth Laser RS Non-Turbo car I own still has a turbo DSM engine in it just with no turbo hooked up?? If so how easy does anyone think it would be to turn it into a turbo??

any input would be nice

Yes u have a DSM motor 6 bolt. But if you were to put a turbo on it the N/A motor aren't as strong as the turbo ones. the pistons are different(compresion ratio)....I have also heard that the bottom end on a N/A is not as strong as the turbos. Also the ECU(N/A) will not work on a Turbo 4G63T.

Of course I might be wrong....

There is SO MUCH more to it.

not sure if these links are still alive.
several members have accomplished this.
but on a stock NT engine, dont expect more than 6psi or so

 

[Lordpaxin]

Oh, and your information isnt 100% accurate.
I dont see a AWD trim listed in your list.

id read everything before posting more question threads.

They didn't make an AWD version of the Laser in those years... I think AWD became an option in 92.

What I'm woundering is look at the engine code. Is it possible they used the same engine with the RS Turbo and the RS? I'm woundering because I had to replace the PTCM and I replaced it with a non turbo.. I believe it came from a 90 talon wich in the site is listed with a non turbo engine code. It might just be a mis-type, I dunno. Would a non turbo PTCM hurt a turbo engine??? I'm kinda new to this stuff can ya tell??

 

[Lordpaxin]

are you talking about an ecu? ptsm? whats that.

you cant put NT electronics on a Turbo car, all the parameters are completley different.
