Wish I could see all the pics. Use Flikr instead it lets you post third party pics without paying.

RIP, Big Bronze Rims.

Hey guys, I will try to update all the pics. Life and work have been crazy and haven't had a lot of time to post. I got images rehosted but have to update all the links which will take a bit of time. Hope everyone is doing well.

Good to see you're still kickin'.

Good to see you're still kickin'.

Still kickin'! Just had a lot on my plate with new work responsibilities and the kids growing up with things like sports and other school commitments.

And to dispel any rumors, I haven't stopped tuning cars and definitely don't drive a '14 accord. Lol.

Hi Brad, I'm glad you're still around and doing well!

Hello All; I have a 1986 m30b34 turbo 635 and I have a rusted 1989 635 with a m30b35 engine, so what I have understood is that the head off the b35 may or may not add to my HP addition.

I wish to swap the heads and put my turbo cam in the b35 and hope Bob is your uncle.

I am open for any points of view pro or con if you can be so kind.

Thanks;

Brian

You may consider a new thread Brian.

What turbo cam is it that you have? How do you know it isn't stock? I'd consider it if you are replacing the headgasket anyway. It's a fair amount of time to remove a cam, so if you were paying somebody to do it, consider that cost and decide if it is worth it.

Does the M30b34 need head work anyway?

Hello tschultz;

I may consider a new thread yes and I thank you.

I will answer your questions with the hope of gaining any insight.

I have installed a CAT cam with a turbo profile. Duration @ 1 mm is 294 degrees for intake and 273 degrees for exhaust.

The HG is not part of the equation for swapping the two heads.

I will reduce the compression ratio with the B35 head over the B34 head.
CR for US M30 b34 with b35 head
CR 7.45 :1

Cheers;

Brian
