Compression will be to high for boost conditions. Do more research.

you can still turbo a ka24e with a ka24de head on it you just need a thicker head gasket to lower the compression.

when you either swap a ka24de in or just swap the head you will still need a altonator ,ecu,harness,distributor cap and rotor,spark plugs,spark plug wires and MAF all from the ka24de it’s better to get a 91-94 ka24de head or complete motor since it’s OBD 1 to OBD1

you can ask adam about gladman performance. i am sure he knows him.forgot adams SON name .you can email him at [powertune@hotmail.com](mailto:powertune@hotmail.com)

hope this helps.
