Stock turbo pistons in N/A block?

[A. Jay]

stock turbo pistons will make u slooow. lower compression. and you will need to get everything machined to spec. you can't just bolt them up and drive.

read bold:

I just wounder would it be possible to put the stock turbo pistion (7mgte) into the na block without the rod, but using the 7mge rode with 7mgte piston? or would it be best to get an aftermarket pistion ? for na-t

yeah heads are identical, cams are different, rods have oil squirters for the gte iirc.

cam, just the intake (n/a has more overlap).

How to bring power back?

Since head was recently rebuild, it means I should lowered a little off a block, so I can get again same compression ratio as with non turbo pistons?

You change compression ratios by changing pistons only. If you do it by changing headgasket thicknesses or by shaving material off the block or head you'll affect the quench area.

It is not a upgrade to use turbo pistons in na application.

Not to mention there are 3>4 "sizes" of standard piston....

It is not about power, my Supra is in mint condition, and I want to keep it original as possible, some other car will be my 7MGTE turbo project.

Reason why I am askin' is because I can get whole 3.0 turbo engine with 40k km on it, for 150 euros, while one 7MGE piston OEM from toyota costs 90 euros each, count 6 times, and you got a lot of money..

i will buy engine anyway, but find other solution for my problem..

Thanks everyone!
