1g turbo block or n/t block

[nathan101]

i have a 92 eclipse non turbo..i rebuilding the engine i just wanna know will a turbo block from a 92 talon awd fit with my head and all the other parts and will it line up with the tranny right?

 

[cyclonekid77]

The blocks are the same except one has oil squirters(turbo) and one doesnt. The turbo engine also has 7.8:1 compression and the n/a has 9:1.Yes, it will work.

ok so i should have any problems with all the other parts then all my parts should just bolt rite in both manifolds oil pump,water pump everything.i read something about the bell housing or that it wont line up with tranny because its from a all wheel drive and mines is a front will drive tranny

 

[nathan101]

also will the wiring harness work

 

[Patamos]

yes the wiring harness should work

Like stated above, the blocks are the SAME, as well as the crankshaft and rods. The difference is the pistons and the oil squirters. Yes the bellhousings are all different between, awd turbo, fwd turbo, and fwd non-turbo; it has nothing to do with the bolt pattern to the engine though.

You're switching the whole wiring harness? Why? That sounds like way too much work. The wiring is basically the same, except that the turbo one includes a knock sensor and a resistor pack for the injectors. The plugin for the airflow sensor is also different.

I believe you must drill and tap for the knock sensor on N/T blocks, also.

I wouldn't suggest running the NT pistons on boost.

Who said he is? That has pretty much nothing to do with this thread. He's asking about putting a turbo engine in a non-turbo car, not the other way around.

blocks are the same except pistons and oilsqts. heads are the same except for the cams, thermostat housing/coolant rail(coolant feed and drain lines). you do NOT need to tap for knock sensor there is a bolt hole on the back side of the block to use. harness wise all you need is a wire ran to the ve sensor and a wire to the knock sensor, along with the resistor pack wired into the injectors. if you need specifics i have tons of pics and info from all our swaps and fabrication.

Everything will bolt on and work just fine on both motors. Just get a used turbo block for cheap, they are everywhere.

ok i just ran into a big problem i just found out the block the guy is selling is a 7bolt from a 93 awd turbo talon.the only way i can use this block is if my 6bolt crank will fit in the 7bolt witch i have no idea but please say it does?

 

[joe sobo]
