Re: Titanium Valves (twkdCD595)
Yes I know that ...
In V8 engine's that usually top out at 7000rpm by simply putting in titanium valves they increase the powerband to 7800rpm, this is quite impressive, however, V8 valves are fairly large so the reduction in weight is quite a bit ...
I am actually after more honda specific info, is it worth the money ... its not that much more expensive than ss valves...

Re: Titanium Valves (Irishweird00)
Not looking to buy some, I was just wondering how much you paid, I thought you were talking about ferrea, which I am comparing since they use a alloy or the exhaust valve I think ... and if I don't get the Titanium valves, those were the ones I would get...

Re: Titanium Valves (Irishweird00)
Thanks for the input, the Ti valves work out to around $37 a piece, this is very cheap, if you look around you will find them generally go for more than $50 a piece.
Before I spend the extra $300, I am looking to see what the advantages would be.

Re: Titanium Valves (ZoRG)
As far as I know, People use them for all motor applications... do to the lighter weight.... As far as boost applications, Id feel safer with SS valves...
but thats me

Re: Titanium Valves (ZoRG)
I guess it really depends on wheather or not your gonna spend a lot of money on the rest of the head. If your not gonna p&p then why bother spending that extra loot on expensive purdy valves. Are you going oversized?? You should if your spending that much money.
Be sure to get the seats done....dont just drop the valves in.

Re: Titanium Valves (94goldjungsr)
I've compared two honda valves one SS one TI. There's still a noticeable difference.
And the melting point is around 800 degrees higher for the Ti valves over steel/carbon.
Its all in what you want. Are you going to be revving that high? or is it just for reduction in rotating assembly mass

Re: Titanium Valves (Irishweird00)
Okay the big difference for the Ti valves would be the weight difference in the cylinder head valvetrain and they can take more heat than a stock carbon/steel valve although they cannot take as much heat as a SS valve. Also with Ti valves you are going to need to replace the valve seats with a Copper Berilium seat CB-3 for the intake and CB-25 for the exhaust. I would stick with the SS.

There is no problem using the stock seats with SS valves. BUT, it is very recommended that you have the seats touched up to ensure full sealing/seating of the new valves. Basically the way to check if the seat is straight is to drop a valve onto it (no valve seals in place) and it should make a solid tone and actually bounce off the seat. No bounce = valve seat job is needed.
