mikeshoup Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 You *could* change the heads, but then that leaves with the lower compression turbo pistons too... That sucks man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 You might consider recouping your costs by selling off the engine. EBAY or Craigslist are 2 options. How much do you have into the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 You're only about 100 miles away from me. I may be able to help scrounge up a carb motor locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it from one of those Japanese motor imports looks like almost new real clean turbo down and i paid $ 650.00 for the motor and new timing belts.

mikeshoup Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 i thought the heads was what determined the compression is that not true on this motor? All the heads have the same combustion chamber, so no. What determines compression is the pistons. Turbo pistons have a bathtub cut into the top of them, making them 7.7:1 instead of the carb's 9.0:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
