We use supertech in most of our builds. Personally though i have had good luck with my ferrea valves.

im using all supertech hardware in my head...
although I havent really gone too crazy with the revs yet on the dyno..... soon

i don't know much about supertech but from what i hear its good stuff. i have ferrea and they're a reputable name in valves. you can't go wrong with either one.

laocivic

thanks a lot. i guess ill go looking for ferrea or supertech. which is best price? im looking at a full valve train.

You'd honestly be fine on stock valvetrain

But yes, this is all you would need for a high-reving motor.

i dont get it, why would you want to replace the valves? your just running a drag turbo kit, not bashing the kit, but i think money could be spent where else where, springs and reatainers are a good investment, new valves? no so much with your setup.

laocivic

im just trying to research and find the best setup. this is my first turbo setup on my own car. would it b ok for me to rev up to 9K on this setup?

I wouldn't recommend stock valvetrain on a turbo, no matter how small the turbo is. Stock springs only have about 25# with the valve closed. Factor in some boost...can you say float?
We have had great results with REV valves and their valvetrain.
We have used the valve in big turbo big HP motors as well and it holds up great.
I can get you a price on it.
I would recomend at least Valve Job that PR3 head.

i use supertech black coated valves and they have held up great. the price is good too. i burned up a srp piston with nitrous and the valve was fine except for the melted aluminum on it.

laocivic

well i've known many ppl who've run 300 hp and a stock motor. it ran fine with a good tune... i just want a strong head.

go with supertech

quicksilver1689

why should he replace the valves? that is retarded.
Get retainers and springs so you dont have valve float, which you most likely wont unless your spinning it pretty high. RPM is the main factor in valve float. New valves are such a waste of money in your situation, stock vtec heads have been taking to over 500+whp easily without problems.

laocivic

ok thanks im going to valves and springs only....

mine was a little under, but thats through my shop.

it isnt the turbo that necessitates the valvetrain, it is how high you are going to spin the engine.

laocivic

around 9k

Becouse the stock ones tend to break.
a supertech valvetrain cost you a bit over $500 and are well spent.
