2.0 Turbo/nonturbo blocks the same?

[ajinvista]

Spun a bearing I think in the small end of the rod and it started backing out against the cylinder wall. #1,2,3, seem to be fine, pistons and walls. The block is already +.020 over.
My question is, is a turbo and nonturbo block the same? Does the nonT have places for the oil squirters there, but plugged? I have pics but I can't upload? They meet the criteria.
What does this mean? "Signature edited due to sig policy violation" It said, Who cares as long as it's fast. ?
This is the first place I go when I have a problem or a question. Any input would be great, thanks.

turbo and non turbo blocks are not the same. non turbo blocks dont have oil squirters not like the turbo blocks that do. the non turbo block also doesnt have a spot for the knock sensor unlike the turbo blocks that do. there is a spot for the oil squirters and knock sensor but they need to be drilled and tapped.

hope that helps

^ what he said.

The other differences are Pistons (9:1 Cast), No return hole in the oil pan.

Same Crank, and Rods as a turbo block.

The area where oil squirters WOULD be is just AS CAST, and would require machine work to put them in.

You can use a unused bolt hole of the same thread for the knock sensor, it has been covered elsewhere.

Good luck.

i forgot that the crank is the same. good pick up

Thanks guys. I don't know what happened but I guess I can only forge ahead. This car was torn down in '93, 48k. All parts and machine work was bought and done when it went down for a timing belt(hadn't broke yet). Long story short, last summer I finally got to drive this car for about 4 days until it started smoking like mad. The car has been garaged for almost 14 years, motor in for about 2. I didn't think there was going to be this much damage at first, wrong rings the last time had me chasing a smoke problem the summer before. This car has survived a mean old Ex-wife telling me to "get rid of the piece of sh_t''.
Q. Would boring a stock block and 1 new rod and piston be safe(cheaper) or am I looking at a waste of a grand or so(my Carrillo rods and 2G pistons)?

dont waste your time buying rods and not buying the pistons with it. if you go with forged componets dont worry about the oil squirters. the only downside is that you will have higher oil pressure but you can lower it by porting the oil filter housing. oversized 2g pistons with 1g big rods are good for 400hp. so if your looking for a cheap build this is the way to go. do it right, do it once....

hope that helps

Your probably right. This thing was supposed to be done right the first time by going at the motor and head and making them the basis for the rest. 400 h.p. is probably the most that I will shoot for now. I wanted to see how fast it would go w/ 14b, stock inj. fuel system, cams, ported head. Could over-boost do this?
At least I don't have to have the head work done again.
So, turbo block( what the hell ) new rods and pistons.
Can this be done for a grand or so? The rest is there, nothing else is needed.
