FS: Complete 6 Bolt NT-Turbo

[munchgsx]

Does this mean it just a NT block with turbo guts? Nt pistons are not the same as turbo's.

Yes, that is why I said 9:1 compression in my first post. From what I've read, the nt pistons are made the same, they just have higher compression.

The ring lands is the biggest difference. On the turbo pistons, the ring lands are farther down the skirt to help with heat dissipation and the rings themselves are wider. And if I remember correctly, the turbo piston crowns are treated or made from a different material.

If it was just the compression ratio that was different, people would have been running NT pistons as an upgrade instead of 2g.

But, that being said, it's also not hard at all to just pop in a set of turbo pistons and be done.

GL with sale as a complete 6-bolt motor that runs is worth that.

Thank you for clearing that up. Either way, one can run low boost levels and make decent power if they wanted to keep the bottom end un-touched. They would just have to watch knock like crazy.
