Perhaps the non turbo head could be used on the engine with the turbo removed to get the compression back up.. If you don't have the money to farm it out it becomes a heck of a lot of work. Possibly the injection pump would have to be tweeked and perhaps different nozzles used. As long as your energy and your money hold out, you can do about anything, and even then it might not be so great.

The blocks are actually slightly different, but that doesn't matter here.
Yes the NA manifolds will bolt up fine.

Actually, the .95x engines have 21.5:1 CR vs 21:1 for the rest...so none of that really applies...(of course compression figures will play into it though)


If one wanted to keep it NA permanently have a read of this:
NA OM617 123hp 270nm
