hi i was just wondering if anyone new if a 16v c20xe heda would fit onto the 2.0 8v engine?
reason is that ive been told that the 2.0 8v engines have lower compression pistons so you can turbo them, so i am thinking about doing this but while im there i may aswell fit a let/xe head and use the kkk turbo ect?
what do you guys think?

Buy a C20GET, yes a GET not a LET. That's the 2.0 8v turbo engine, probably need to get one from America/Canada though TBH.

16 valves and 16 pockets cut out of the pistons.

it should answer it....the pockets on the 8v pistons wont suit the 16v head. you'll end up with 16 bend valves and smashed guides.

the old trick was 16v bottom end on 8v head with machined 16v pistons iirc.
