Hey guys have a chance to get a free n/a block that ran.... I have an 87 the car was same year so I think all my t2 stuff will swap over... but how much power can they take?????

 

As much power as you can tune for...

 

Wow Aaron, you must not have read the post too hard.
To the OP: no, your turbo stuff will not swap on directly. The NA engine is a 6 port while the turbo is a 4-port. It can be done, but it takes some work. There are a number of threads on doing this, several of which are linked to in the 2nd gen FAQ.

 

for the most part is can all just be swapped over. You'll have to run oil lines, coolant lines, and port your lower intake manifold. other than that it will all bolt right up. If you have a turbo front cover you don't even have to make an oil drain. it really isn't terrbily hard if you have ALL of the turbo accesories

 

It also has higher compression rotors so you have to make sure you account for that.

 

if running stock boost, with t2 running gear, IE: ecu, pressure sensor, maf, intake manifolds, turbo, there should be no problems. All it will do will is make the car a little more drivable/powerful/better gas milage.

 

I heard you can make up to 500 hp + with mods, after that most do a LS1 conversion for more efficently running at higher HP

 

I answered the question as posted. Soon enough he would discover that there is more work required to put the TII stuff on the NA engine then he is probably prepared for.

 

Lol, gotcha.

 

I don't know if anyone told him this but supposely the the T2 turbo with manifold hits the N/A intake manifold. I don't know if you can stick the turbo intake manifold on the n/a. I bet you can but I just want you guys to know i haven't tried this. I have talked about it to other people so.
