So I've realized that I can buy a complete (engine, turbo, computer, wiring, etc) '88 turbocoupe engine for what the roller cam for my NA project costs.
I just finished P&P'ing a 1991 dual plug ranger head. It will also have big valves installed.
I'm thinking of buying the TC setup and doing the swap into my ranger using the ported 91 DP head and obviously swapping over to DIS using the parts from my current engine. Of course I'll disasemble, clean, re-ring, and replace any other needed parts on the TC block. Anyone got a write up how to do a DIS swap on a turbo motor?
Question is, what will be the resulting compression ratio if I put the ranger head on the TC block? Will I still be able to run full boost without detonation? Will this mess up the LA3? I do plan on upgrading the intercooler while I'm at it.
Oh and anyone want to make a guess at how much HP this combo will make? I took alot of metal out of that head.
