22RE engine to replace 22RET

Can a regular 22re motor replace a 22 RET motor by placeing the turbo and other componets to replace the stock ones.Is the compression ratio that differant to blow replacement motor?This is to trplece the clancking engine I posted before can't figure where noise is coming from but is really bad so its got to be bad to fix found a rebuilt 22re for 400.00 coming out of a later forunner.Just wondering if this is doable before buying the motor .thanks Mitch

The RTE has a stronger block, hardened pistons, and fittings for the turbo oil lines.
You could drill and tap a RE block for the oil line fittings and use it, and it might last awhile if you were easy on it.

check craigslist, ive seen 22RET motors and trannys going around me for $400

A 22RTE for $400 is toasted.
A "decent" running one will be in the neighborhood of $1000-1500.
They just don't last due to abuse and poor maintainence.
