N/A Engine vs TT Engine

I was wondering about two things while looking around for a decent Z...... fisrt of all I must tell that the only Fre$?/"in rason for these questions in my mind is the fact that TTs have only two places..... that would not be a problem right now..... but I don't plan on buying that kinda car only for a couple of years so......

On the the point. I was wondering if the internals of the TT ENgine are exactly the same as the N/A one..... what are the differences if any.....

Second I was wondering if buying a N/A and building it into a TT stage would be a greater investment/idea ? Is is cheaper/costier ? Better/worse ? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

And a last question for y'all, since I really dig the TT look (TTop ans leather interior) is this a look that can be had on a N/A without modifications (stock setup) ?

HEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP ??!!!! hehehe
Tkx for all of you who will help me out here.

In regards to your second question (TT to NA conversion) there is a huge write up on that same matter at www.twinturbo.net

As for the last question NA's also had t-tops and and leather interiors in stock form depends on the options taken at puchase.

p.s. Do not ask na to tt conversion question on the "twinturbo.net" board cause they'll ignore or get mad. Use the search to get answers instead.

first off the internals are basicly the same. Except with the pistons. They are the same dia. buttthe tubo piston tops are diffrent might bee the pin hight. Compresion is lower on the tt If you think that you might want a turbo than thats what you should buy!! The conversion is costly and time consuming. It is not somthing that you want to do your self if you dont know anything about Z's.

great thanks for the infos..... but, is there ant TT not coupe style ? I mean with tiny backseat (let's say if for the record.... for a future-maybe-not-planned-yet-perhaps-one-day child of ours ) ??

If not, then TT rules !!!

the child will be babysitted LOL

I believe the Turbo pistons have a Pin Hole at the top of the Pistons too for Oiling or something like that..

And Dreamer there were TT 2+2's in Japan not the US

actually the oil squirters are much different as well...the block is the same but the oil feeds and returns are different....makes a big difference in cooling of the parts.

in addition to the oil squirters being different, the valve timing on the TT motor is more precise as well. There are small allowances for the NA, whereas there are hardly any for the TT.
