Guys, cut him some slack and stop being assholes. Great way to greet someone to our forum. :nono: He is obviously new to the car and doesn't know what he has. And if push comes to shove, yeah, you look like fools because it IS turbocharged- regardless of whether or not it's a GTE block or not. Lose the attitudes, and help the guy out. That's why he came here. Thread cleaned.
Take it easy, dude, throwing the attitude back won't get anyone anywhere around here. What you appear to have is a N/A->T, which could be many different types of bastard swap. You could have a 7MGE block with a turbo slapped on the side, thus retaining all the GE electronics, you could have a GTE block with all GE electronics. There are a few ways to tell, if you're interested I'll make a little list for ya to check/verify a few things to properly determine what you've got there. Since you're running on a GE system, I'll guess that you're probably running lean with no extra fuel control. We don't know if the pump has been upgraded, or if the fuel pressure regulator has been swapped for a GTE reg, or even the injectors.
Take pics of under the intake manifold. If there is just one knock sensor in the middle, could be an N/A block. If there are two knock sensors (one in front, one back near starter) then it could be a GTE block, or a GE block modified for two knock sensors. Take some pictures of the oil feed lines going to the turbo, the oil pressure sensor, and the oil dipstick location. Grab the part numbers off the injectors for us, too. Is there an oil cooler on it? And do a compression test, and let us know the numbers if you can. (this could tell us whether it's got N/A pistons or Turbo pistons)
Stay away from any fuel cut eliminating device. That's a quick way to kill your motor. Besides that, the GE ECU doesn't have a fuel cut like the turbo ECU does, which is bad in my opinion. The GTE electronics are much more sophisticated in this area, and for good reason. (run lean = boom)
