turbo 13b and NA 13b

are these the same motors? Are the Turbo and NA blocks exactly the same?

The blocks share about 3 parts: the stationary gears and the eccentric shaft.

The endplates are stronger as well.

How much stronger are they (I'm curious)?

Dude, why are you going around talking about endplates being stronger/weaker on na/t2? You've posted misinformation twice today that I've seen. The NA endplates are made from the exact same casting (the periphery anyway) as the t2 ones...the dowel pin landings, and the surrounding material on the irons is identical between t2 and NA. Other than intake port design differences, they're the same thing, exactly. ONe is no stronger or weaker than the other. There is a difference in how the 2 can be ported, however. 89+ irons are stronger (mainly the rear, which has a reinforcement by the weak rear dowel landing) than 86-88, but that's it.

Sorry, I was confused somehow with the castings of the engine parts with series, turbo and NA. My apologies.

You could, but it'd be really slow. The turbo engine has a lower compression ratio than the nonturbos. This is the same reason it isn't a great idea to turbo a nonturbo engine. High compression does well on an NA engine, and lower compression is better for a boosted engine to remain safe. Low CR without the aid of the turbo would be a weak engine.

I'm assuming he meant running NA headers instead of a turbo and manifold on a turbo block. No, you cannot connect NA headers to a turbo, if thats what you were asking.
