Need a new motor, 1.6 Automatic available
My shortblock is a mess, (damaged pistons). There is an automatic engine available for cheap locally.
I know the specs of the auto motor, lower compression and cam timing etc, but what are the downsides to using this motor in a turbo application? What about using this shortblock with the manual trans head or cams? The motor is just $250 and 116K miles. Ash |
lower compression, better cams, whats the problem?

Cams Better?
So your saying the cams are better because the timing is set for more torque.
I had always thought that turbo engines started with lower compression so it sound like a good choice to me. Sounds like you agree? Ashley |
Actually I see now, I would have better low down torque and power under boost.
|
yep, local guy with a greddy kit here had a great torque curve after tossing in an auto motor.
