    Pinto turbo engine with yb internals - advice?

    I have some parts from a YB engine and a complete pinto engine.
    I’m thinking about to built a turbo pinto engine using the following parts:
    pinto efi head
    std valves
    kent FR32 or stock cumshaft
    205 std block
    YB GpA pistons
    YB rods with ARP
    YB crankshaft
    YB 2wd oil pump
    yb engine sensors
    yb distributer
    Stock EFI
    custom exhaust manifold
    Gt35 or GT3076
    YB ECU and wiring loom
    injectors compatible with YB ECU
    T5 gearbox and YB clutch kit
    What is your advice/opinion for this?

    do a search most of this has been done to death on the forum, but the only thing which comes to mind is you are going to have a really low compression ratio because a pinto head has about 30cc more volume than a yb

    1.6 pinto head maybe might be better
    To finish first, you must first finish

    it would certainly do wonder for the compression ratio
