Im going to be puttin Civic type r cams in my b16a and would like to know what springs and retainers are good for this combo?? i tend to rev pretty high up to 9500 rpms so what springs have a good rating all the way to 10,000 rpms im going to be building the head and doing a port and polish and 3 angel valve job on it. please let me know some good sual springs and retainers to use and if over sized valves are worth a few extra hp. thanks

 

Your rpm range is determined by the camshaft. CTR cams will drop off over 9k. Just use typeR springs and you'll be good.

 

If I'm reading this right, you're revving your stock b16a cams to 9500 and plan to rev the new CTR cams to 10 GRAND?!?!??

Wow man, you must lose races to single slammers. Learn what a powerband is and stop revving the **** out of your car you ricer.

 

bump no u didnt read right dude im takin it to 9500 on launches cause im spinin pretty hard and fast when vtec hits i know where my power band is thats why im smokin **** that i shouldnt bee beating im wanting a spring that can handle 10 grand just to be safe that high plus in the future im going to upgrade cams i asked for what kinda springs people are running so either tell me input on what u have ran and how good u like them or dont say anything thank you.

 

<3

his power band...

its over 9000!

 

Ok please just tell me some good b series springs and retainers you guys have ran and not say stupid quotes im asking for info not cut downs thanks

 

It would be in your best interest to match your valve springs to your cams. If you are going to upgrade your cams in the future determine what cams you want and ask the manufacturer for their advice. Then come on here, state your desired setup and plans and we'll try to help you out.


But to answer your basic question.
Supertech, Skunk2, Crower all make a good product.

 

Why would you put a period at the end of that disaster?

 

LOL!!! Crower (or any Name brand) Valvetrain is expensive but worth it. If you want to rev HIGH, I suggest upgrading your entire head before you rev past 8k. Just a teaser

At those RPM I would be more worried about my rod and piston making contact with things they should never touch.

 

Yeah, things like broken off valve heads.

 

supertech are fine

 

or again you could go rotary, rev as high as you want

 

here the think i'm not understanding...unless you have work done, you're not making any power up that high...when vtec engages when i launch i still manage to shift at 8400rpm...i don't ever shift past 8800rpm and i own a B16b...i've seen enough dynographs that show where i start to lose power...but not to lecture, it's your motor
