The EFI head is small peanut (A87 type)cast as the later number W53. The head on a Z18 and Z18T is the same,So that means the low compression is in the block for the turbo. HHMM whats the size difference in the chambers in the head between a L and a Z?
Thats the difference. I'm sure the turbo block would be stronger than the non turbo block.I know it has different pistions and rods.
