N4FY D Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi I've been looking on here trying to find if it's possible but can't find it but can you fit a Gte head on a ge block and if so is there anything else I would need other than the both manifolds and cams? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8KILR Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Been done heaps of times for a turbo car (my single turbo has a GE block) but sounds like you will use it as an NA? Should work fine but it will have less torque then the NA head as they use a twin entry intake to boost mid range torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4FY D Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I was thinking of using it to make it in to a turbo as there is more on offer when it comes to cams and stuff what I was wondering what else I would need to do the conversion?

V8KILR Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I always recommend buying a TT Aristo or Supra engine as that is the easiest and often cheapest option. It not the above, then it would be simplier to use the NA head as the biggest issue will be the coils and ignitor as the TT does not use a distributer. The TT wiring and ECU would be needed to run them (or an aftermarket ecu). You also need the TT head gasket (to lower compression to around 9.2:1) and you would need to move the power steering reservoir with the TT head. Intercooler and plumbing needed, blowoff valve and wastegate too. You need a way of getting oil to the turbos as well. You could do a split feed from a sandwich plate before the oil filter. Probably forgotten some things as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Your power goals should make this worth while or not. Swapping the heads does require lots of other modifications and unless your going stupid power you might as well swap the engine for a complet TT lump which is ood for 600-700. If your looking for 400 stay with the NA engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
