Turbo Head on a Non Turbo engine 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Charles on  Sat Apr 30 18:59 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The turbo motor (B230FT) uses different pistons and a different headgasket to achieve a lower compression ratio. Otherwise, you would have a serious problem with detonation as soon as the turbo spools up.

B230FT heads are a dime a dozen. Any head from a normally aspirated 240, 740 or 940 1986-1995 will fit your block and give you the correct compression ratio for a normally aspirated car.
