engine swap......NA only 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Tue May 31 23:43 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Don't even think of trying to replace it with a turbo engine. There are MANY things different between the turbo and NA (too much to list) and if you just try bolting it in w/o a working turbo system, the car will be even slower than before as turbo engines have lower compression ratios (pistons).
If you want a turbo car, get a turbo car otherwise get a good NA engine only.
