Cylinder Head

Post by amdshaner »

is the cylinder head from an NA motor the same as one on a turbo motor? I have a NA motor as well so if I have any problems with the cylinder head can I just swap them?

You can use it but you will have to drill and tap he engine temp sensor and use the turbo cams. The combustion chamber is shaped a little different , but is ok to use.
I've tried growing up, it just doesn't work for me, so I'll go on enjoying my childhood.

Are you sure about that? (genuine question, not winding you up) I can't see any difference between the turbo and n/a chambers in the heads i have...

I'm pretty certain the N/A head has about 1.5ml more room in the chamber, the Turbo is closer to a late 650 chamber volume, i'll see if i can dig the figures out

Death, I think we went through this before.... the turbo head has a half round chamber, the na head has a half round chamber with an extra chamfer around it to accommodate the dome of the na piston. :beer

Here ya go;
Here are some #s I have found on the volume of the combustion chambers on the 650s and 750s

650 head volume #s are
77-80 23.7
81 23.3 to 24.1 or average of 23.7 same as early one
82 24.8

750H 24.8 +-0.4cc
750L 25.3
Gpz750 25.9
Turbo 24.6

Ok cool, thanks everyone.. This is an 'H' model so it will be very close.. Drilling for the sensor will be easy. Thanks again for the info..

You may have an issue with the valve clearance, as the turbo cams have a different base circle than an NA set of cams. It can be done with a little work, as I've used a NA head as I wrecked all the Turbo ones I had when I was racing them.

In the cleaned and marked areas the NA combustion chamber is wider than the turbo chamber:

If you use an NA Head with turbo pistons you have no squish. I think this is not good.

What are the valve sizes on the Turbo head and are they the same as the NA heads?

Yeah, i believe they are from memory (looked up part #'s a while ago)

Think is i think the 750H head has smaller valves on 1 side & the 650 definatley has smaller valves

Thanks. Does anyone know the actual valve sizes?

Also I know this may be a strech, but would anyone happen to have or know flow numbers for a stock turbo head?

Thanks D

Yes, i see that now that I look again (and you've pointed it out), but this is only on the 'A' head that I have, the earlier N/A one and the turbo one's I have don't have these.
