I'm thinking of rebuilding my non turbo 900 2.3 into a 900 turbo. I know it is a lot of work and you need a donor car with all the wiring etc. so that is the part we don't have to discuss.
My options are:
Finding a 900 2.0 turbo and build the complete 2.0 engine into my car or finding a 900 2.0 turbo and rebuild my car into a 2.3 turbo (using the cylinder head of the 2.0 turbo (same bore)). The last option is in my opinion the better one. At the moment there a a couple of problems i can think of.
1. The pistons of a non turbo, are they the same as the pistons of a turbo version?
2. A 900 2.0 turbo has a garret tb25, will this turbo be big enough for a 2.3 engine
3. The ecu of a fpt 2.0 isn't programmed for a 2.3l engine. Which trionic (from which car)can i take combining the 2.3 with the garret tb25. Or is it possible to take the 2.0 fpt trionic, (it might be possible that the trionic itself will adapt to the bigger engine)
I hope someone can give me some answers
