Is a 1g n/t head the same as the 1g turbo head?

[RossY]

Im looking to pick up a used head and im just curious if the 2.0l 1g n/t heads are the same as the turbo heads.

Thanks

Yes sir only diffrent thing is the stud that holds the cam sensor on and and the stud that holds on the throttle body support brace mine was off of a n/t 91motor

hey thanks, maybe i can get a good deal on a n/t rather than paying more for a turbo head since most probably don't know that

oh yea i got my for 50$ at a local junk yard most people have no idea and dont charge the same but because if its off a "TURBO" is more money

You gotta love those types of things. Make me feel like I am getting over on the man by buying n/t stuff thats the same as turbo

I always sell my engine heads as "turbo head"...get more money that way

And before a certain person starts saying "thats mis advertising" or "lying", technically its not because the head is no different. I do also say "fits turbo and non turbo engines"though

$50 for the head at the junk yard? What all did you get? Im kind of trying to figure out how much its going to cost me. I have everything from my old head, minus the messed up valves. Did you get the valve cover as well?

For $50 I got a complete assembly with cams and gears!

Wisemen correct me if I'm wrong, but I just want to make sure these guys aren't misinformed. One big difference between the N/T and Turbo Heads is the intake Camshaft. The Turbo Intake Camshaft is more aggressive. Here are some additional posts for more info. Again this is with regards to 1g 4G63 2.0 Liter Engines.
