Re: difference between turbo and non turbo internals
Many parts are interchangeable, as to how far you go depends on how much power you want and exactly what you have in the first place. You dont need all of the "turbo" bits to make some pretty stout power. Im going for 180 RWHP my starting lump is out of a 89 gq with 527k on the clock!!!!! :roll:

difference between turbo and non turbo internals
About to do up a TD42 to turbo spec.
Other than the pistons and rods and fuel pump is there any other difference bettween the engines???
Crankshaft maybe?
and dose anyone know of suppliers for these bits. I have never seen conrods advertised anywhere.

im now toying with the idea to put either a holden alloytec or a toyota 4 litre
both weigh less,
have more horsepower and torque,
will bring the weight off the front axle and make it more central,
and cheaper rego and insurance.
