hi guys;

need some serious input... might be stupid question, but it's important to me.
i have heard some stories about different brand's of retainers, and i would like to see what your opinions are. currently i have the following stuff:

b16a2
jun stage3 cams
toda valve springs
(will get) portflow port & polish


so, what retainers will you use?

Jun
skunk2
portflow
IB Spec (by JG)

thanks again!!

 

Everyone will have a different opinion on this one....

You will hear good/bad about every company.

 

Not rocket!

 

pm Rocket..

 

You've got Toda springs, get Toda retainers.

 

portflows have worked well for me.....
but as long as it doesnt break...any titanium retainer is fine in my book

 

does toda make retainers? i might be mistaken but i remember someone telling me that they didnt ......i might have been sniffing the break cleaner too long.....

I don't think they have retainers but I would call them and find out what they recommend.

If the retainer does not fit snug against the inner and outer spring you can run into the issue that everyone dogs on titanium retainers for.

To my knowledge, TODA does not make retainers

 

call toda and ask them

They do not manufacture retainers, but do run portflow retainers in their cars

yeah, toda don't sell retainer, but i'm wondering if i should just use itr retainer (i think these itr are also the same as gsr) what do u guys think?

 

If you've got jun cams, why not get jun retainers, jun valves and jun springs? Keep it all in the family, then you know the parts are made to work together.

 

Jun Springs Coil bind with Jun 3s...

Fucked up, huh?

yup.

i still haven't use those jun3 cams, and i'm thinking about using the toda spec A instead. so i'll be using those new toda springs.... wonder about if stock retainer will work or not.

 

jun 3s are awesome...there springs arent.

 

Jeez! thats pretty crazy, first time I've ever heard that...

 

Cant complain about Rockets
