Looking to build the motor but I was planning on buying a block and possibly head and building it then pulling my motor out and putting this one in My question is Can I just buy say a FG xr6t NA motor or egas motor Use the block and possibly the crank if it's same from turbo to NA? Unsure of the crank and put new rods, pistons, oil pump, etc Then swap the sump to a turbo sump for the oil return line and put a turbo head on? Thanks in advance Edited 17/09/19 12:23 PM by MCNLT Forgot to clarify crankshaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,161 Member For: 16y 9m 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 17/09/19 12:47 PM Share Posted 17/09/19 12:47 PM Yes, you can use an N/A engine block/crank then build from there with rods/pistons and oil pump etc depending on your power goals. You don't strictly need a turbo sump as you can just drill a hole and tap some bolt threads for the turbo oil return. The only thing different in the head is the valve springs and exhaust valves, so you can upgrade the valve springs anyway and just get some exhaust valves for the head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
