Which one would you go for? I'm matching these up with s2 stg2.

 

ferrea

 

ferrea makes awesome valvetrain equipment.

 

i have ferrea valves

nice parts

 

Anyone here have any opinions/experiences with the OmniPower Valves? I've decided on them for my head .... so far everyone is sayin Ferrea!

 

do you guys know if the 6000 series bump compression?

 

Ferrea, i believe, makes them also in a high compression valve, which will raise your comprssion.. check this out -----> http://m24x.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=736 go rocket w00t-w00t

 

talked to the ferrea guy while at NOPI. The 6000 series valves bump comression up....but ever so slightly. In fact, he said, its not even worth talking about due to the minimal "bump".

As far as i'm concerned however, if you're running high compression as it is, then that bump IS worth talking about.

Also, the 6000 series is better for NA and is also cheaper. We didn't go into detail why its better though.

Anyways, Ferrea is the **** when it comes to valvetrain!! *But I've never even seen omnipower stuff*

 

Omnipower is good stuff. I bought the whole valvetrain package and its great quality .

 

im sorry to say this im not trying to be an ******* but its gonna sound like im an ******* for those that already posted. when stating why something is better than something else dont just say its better try to give reasoning to why it is better so why is ferrea all that better than the omnipower valves? does anyone have a picture of it is ita flat valve? wut is it made out of? does it flow better? if so is there proof? is it lighter? i know ferrea has a very reputable name but i mean try to name the reasons why its better thats all im sayin.

 

I agree !!! I have looked it up and there are a lot of reasons why omni valves should be very good. Reasons, listed below :

Omni-Power Valves have arrived! Manufactured with flat bottoms for increased compression and made using the same material as OEM Honda. An excellent upgrade for people looking for added compression without sacrificing any reliability

Omni-Power B Series intake valves feature SUH-11 material which is the same material used by Honda. The tips are designed to prevent mushrooming and the stems are cut for increased flow and reduced weight (Just like Type R).


Omni-Power B Series exhaust valves are a 2 piece design just like OEM Honda. The upper stems are made out of SUH-11 and the heads are made out of NCF-751 (Inconel) to withstand extreme temperatures.


Our focus was to manufacture a product that not only performed well but could rival the reliability found in OEM Honda products. We feel that we achieved our goal and according to Brad at RLZ Engineering, these valves flow better than all other high end valves he has tested.





So anyone who can explain why ferera valves should be good, better or as good ??

Anyone have something to say about the omni valves that makes sense. Because i am thinkig of putting omni valves in my head with me new NA built.

THANKS !!!!!

 

Ferrea Stainless steel valves I been using them with my Skunk2 s2 and I have no problem with them.

 

ttt

 

OE ITR valves

 

I dont see Ferrea around here giving tech support and help like Omni does.

 

someone on this board that i know, I was talking to him, and he said he was running ferrea .5mm+ valves on his motor, and they snapped... but he said the same with skunk2 as well.... mainly because the .5mm+ caused to do what it did, but that's the only issue I have ever heard of.

that is the most un-informative post.
.5 over valves will not cause a valve to break. there is something else wrong with the driver or motor.

 

Im mearly going off of what he said.... my words came out wrong I suppose.... He told me that .5mm+ on valves was a bad idea because he has had issues with it, whether he it was fault or whatever the cause may be, but he is a reputable engine builder... and once again I will not name names, until/unless he chimes in on this converstation. I too was going to go run the .5mm but decided against it, after further research of the matter.

I was only adding to the converstation of this topic, about the only thing I have heard about ferrea, which may or may not have been useful.

 

If you are running oversize valves with high lift, high duration cams you need to make sure that you not run into problems with valve to valve clearance.

 

First off you cannot break a Ferrea valve, they will bend ---I have seen them bend almost to a S and not break. Which cannot be said of factory material valves.

And this would be one case that size does NOT matter as long as everything else is right. Your engine building buddy should have checked piston to valve clearance to avoid this.

The Ferrea 6000 series uses exactly the same materials used in their comp + valves but they do not have the Chrome like finish (the heat coating).

They have a superior 1 piece design

They won't raise your compression at all. And they are not flat faced.

More racers use Ferrea than any other valve manufacture

And I to use Ferrea in all my race and 99% of my street apps.

I am not saying or implying that omni man's valves are not a good product...
I can help those who are wondering or needing info on the Ferrea valve since I use alot of their product.
