Gte head on ge?

[N4FY D]

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Ok thanks for your help I've got some thinking to do now then
