NA and TT blocks

[Mike92]

Hello people, I got a good deal on a 93 NA z32... Long story short is I drove it a little too hard and blew a piston into the block... My question is would a TT block, just the block no TT, fit on an NA with little to no modding? I know the compression is different and I've heard the TT has better pistons... Please let me know I'm getting a killer deal on a TT engine right now, better than an NA and wondering if I can get away with it... Thanks

Yes you can. Lower compression, less power but the blocks are the same, pistons are lower CR, and the oil squirters on the rods are different. TT has oil lines for the turbo's that you'll need to swap over your plugs, oil pan has larger capacity and return fitting for oil form turbo's but long blocks are interchangeable. Only differences are accessories (injectors, exhaust manifolds, oil pan, etc).
