I looked at the head before delivery to the machinist and there is also a lot of damaged on treads and also two cam caps broken.This was also in bitses and pieces from PO B)
So i need another head for my 1200cc engine build.what is the best choice for me?
J head with cam tower or a early GPZ head?
Thanks again and i was out riding in Norway today Cold but very nice.pictures was to big today??

For a 1200 turbo you will get away with the early heads if you want although a 'J' or early geep head will work well too.
Being forced induction the smaller runners won't affect cylinder filling like it would on normally aspirated.
We run a 900 head on the Orient Express turbo and that produces over 230hp with 8.2 quarter at 165 mph.

It's a common verbal abbreviation for "Gee Pee Zed" over here in England ;)

How is the bike going to be ridden,Street bike or track bike?
For a turbo motor Id worry more about the exhuast side than the intake. ;)
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Turbo,

It is never to late to go start drag racing!

If you are crazy enough to twist up a turbo Z1R on the street....making a pass down the drag strip would be a lot more sane.

I forget the exact RPM for max power and the Dyno sheets are at the shop though i'm sure I mentioned in the build thread I think.
Rev limiter is set at 10.5k for the track though but haven't hit it in 4th 'n' 5th yet.
1075cc MTC pistons.
Stock combustion chambers.
1mm o/s valves.
Minimal clean up on ports, inlet matched to plenum and exhaust polished .
Header diameter = 36mm.
It's pretty much what you would run on the road except for the Megacycle turbo race cams.
My road turbo Z1R is the same spec (right down to the F/F Rajay) except for Unitrack cams to take the edge off.
