NA 6 Bolt Block

[dsmman91]

Ok my question is would it be ok to rebuild my na 6 bolt block for turbo by getting lower compression pistons and everything else i need.

Yes, just pick up a new set of npr turbo pistons from ebay and use those. Everything else inside the engine is the same other than not having oil squirters.

will not having oil squirts be okay or will it hurt the motor

Turbo engines are better off with squirters. A lot of the OE companies are going to great lengths to integrate them into factory engines. My Ford pickup truck has them. We've even installed them on a couple of V8's that we've built for turbo and nitrous use. They can be easily fitted to an N/A 6 bolt or a 2.4L block.

How would you add them to the block ad would it e hard to add

 

[JacksonAuto]

They have to be accurately located so they properly intersect the oil galley and also so they aren't in the way of the piston skirt. Not a hard job but it requires some precision. We do it on a vertical mill.

cool thanks for answering my questions.

 

[dsmman91]

Where can I buy oil squirters and how much would it be to install in my block or would it be cheaper to buy a turbo block

 

[BogusSVO]

Many of the supporting vendors sell the oil squirters.

Extreme PSI sells OEM parts at a good price. We charge $180 for the labor to machine the block.
