RB S7---Turbo Head vs. Standard Head
#16
I would save your money and start thinking of your next motor or get another s7. I have no desire to change mine at all. I did have a buddy that striped his plug hole out, but he bought a c6 instead of investing in the head. I don't tune well enough to realize the gain of turbo head.

The turbo heads seal better than standard. The chamber also has a better shape and these 2 things give you better performance. When you get better performance you don't have to give it as much throttle to get up to the same speed so you get better run time. They are however a little harder to tune on the needles.

Thanks for all the info!!
Believe it or not I bid on a brand new Turbo head button on Ebay and really did not think I would win it and got it for 20$. Now that im not going to run a tubo head because of the cost I think I will just sell to get my money back or i will put it back on ebay.

***UPDATE***
Just want to let some of you know that posted to this thread. I tore down my RB S7 to replace the bearings with TKO ceramic bearings since the front one was leaking. Well when I pulled the cooling head off and removed the head button they were in 2 pieces not one piece like someone stated. And the turbo head button that I had got off of ebay matched and looked like the standard head button, it fit inside the cooling head and it fit just fine on the engine block and sleave, and bolted up fine. So I did pull the glow plug out of the new turbo head button just to make sure it was a turbo head and it was, but I can not tell a big diffrence in the looks between the two head buttons on the combustion side. I have some pics i will post later....

If anyone wants to know that is it worth doing ceramic bearings and going to a turbo head button, i believe this motor can hang with any OS speed's this motor now has crazy power and I really noticed the temps go way down with the ceramic bearings, I could not get over 180 but it was a little rich on both ends but I know have it screaming to and bottom and temps at 215!!!!!

Turbo heads are the best - get them on what ever eninge you get- always have to change standard plugs, and turbo are easier to tune

like token said reg plugs are a pain. turbos are a little more difficult to tune but will have better power&runtime. i have got to the 2+gallon mark sometimes with turbo plugs and changed just because 2 gallons is a lot. with regular plugs only few times could get to a gallon
