    Default RB20E to DE .. ?

    hi all , im new here , Im from the manawatu New Zealand and someone wants to swop one of my cars for there 1987 Holden Berlina RB20E manual.

    A lot of my mates have skylines with RB20DET , RB25DET, and they go great .
    I expect a big old holden with a 2L single cam na will not go so great...
    so was wondering if i could simply bolt a RB20DE head on my RB20E ... and then get a T manifold and turbo it...

    so can i just bolt this head on ?
    will the compreson be wrong for a turbo ?
    I dont care to much about the turbo at the moment , but i think I want a DOHC though

    anyhelp is much apreciated. Because I dont think I will get this car if the modification is to hard...
    I dont want to spend much money as the car is just for until the end of the summer.

    cheers

    Why not get an RB30DE?

    Surely it wouldnt be too hard even if you had to source one in oz?
