was a fella with a cavalier did it on migweb. its an interesting idea and im sure one of the 2litre 8v's had quite low compression for an n/a engine. be good for what, 180-200bhp maybe on low boost?

there was a 2litre 8v corsa turbo on ebay last week actually

your engine has to high compression really

idealy you should run a 20ne (n=lower compression)

can do this my swaping the head and pistons over, but might a well get a new engine

no.

20NE wull be cheaper in the first place, and you won't end up replacing it because of it's bodged compression lowering.
