I was planning on building the extra a6 w/ 11:1 forged pistons, rods, rest of block to stock specs, and with the head ported w/ ss valves, springs and retainers, cam. The valve train is for high revs and an 80 shot direct port......but I can't find springs, valves, or retainers for the a6? What the hell gives? If I can't find anything, I guess the other option would be mini me w/ stock compression a6 pistons (since it's SUPPOSSED to be 11:1 compression w/ a mini me...how sure is everyone on that?) then maybe build the vtec head....but dammit, where's the a6 valvetrain at?

 

i think SKunk 2 makes a whole valvetrain upgrade including titanium springs and retainers, theyre also coming out with a manifold and stage I II and II cam for it. Not sure if they make valves for it though, i havent been on their site in a while

ok, i looked and they are for the D16Z6... so nevermind, unless they also fit the A6.

 

Check out http://www.webcamshafts.com

They have a valve spring kit listed that includes the springs and retainers for the d16a6. As for valves I have no clue...sorry.

 

Webcam makes valve springs. Any good head porting shop can find valves. If your looking for oversized valve, try Ferrea. JG engineering makes aluminum retainers and a bunch of other D16a6 stuff.

 

awesome! thanks for the help guys. I've been planning on doing the port job myself...just a small one. So I guess I'll either have to call up a few porting places and ask them or search around some more. What's JG's web page? Do they even list their products? thanks for the help fellas.

 

err ya i've been holding out on the A6 valvetrain. I can get them but not deep on the pricing yet. working on it.. unless you want to pay the price for Ferrea's which I can get ASAP.

 

WOW, i just checked web cams and those puppies are expensive! $425! maybe I'll keep the revs to the stock redline still going to need valves though.

 

how much do the ferrea ss valves go for wil?

 

well we carry 2 brands.. ferrea and Si valves. ferrea runs about $19.50 per valve and the Si Valves are $13.50 per valve.

 

are the Si ones ss wil? if so i'll be in contact w/ you...dammit, you need aim at your work again! -sean

 

LOL sean.. you cant get enough of me or what.

 

the d16z6 valves are 1mm bigger if I remember correctly.

 

yea, I've heard they're a little longer too. good lookin out bro.

 

Si Industries are Stainless steel swirl polished. stock size. $207/set16
the z6/y8 valves are also SS swirlpolished stock size or 1mm oversize

Ferrea D16a6 and z6/y8 come in reg and 1mm over size and they are from super alloy $304/set16

Retainers/springs no pricing yet on the A6 but going to be around $320/retainers&springs - Exospeed Spec

on the Ferrea z6/y8 they are about $450 with titanium ret and springs(HD single. $380 for alum ret and springs(HD single)

do you have to use new valve seats for 1mm over?
