Honestly whats the difference.

What is the difference between a N/A and a turbo block. besides the rotors? if just the rotors. would it even be worth it to rebuild it to be a turbo?

one costs more to build than the other one with little power gain (referring to 13b's) bleh...I'm really lying I've seen some fast *** n/a's just ppl won't tell me what they did to em

if you want bang for the buck go with a turbo motor, if you have an endless source of money go with a fully built n/a

the main difference in my opinion is what you want to do with the car, then you'll have your power goals and then you'll have an idea of where you want to go

you know I believe japan to la sells the exhaust sleeves and uim to lim adapter to run a turbo manifold on your na block, might wanna check that out as well (haven't seen anyone use it though), that obviously isn't everything you need to go turbo on your n/a fyi

You could always turbo the NA motor, there's a couple already documented.

it's easier to say which parts are the SAME than which parts are different. all 3 irons are different(different ports, turbo oil feed, extra threaded port in center iron etc) rotor housings have different coolant passages and exhaust sleeves, oil pumps are different, rotors are different, etc etc etc

the only parts they share are the e-shaft/stat gears/seals/and bearings.
