Hey guys

Ive had a quick search and didnt find exactly what im looking for

Ive got to buy valve springs within the next week and had a look on nengun - so many brands to choose! Now i know each will have their own advantage and disadvantge, and to be honest i dont want to stuff around, i want to buy proven springs that dont have any issues :D

The reason i need springs is simply to avoid float due to high boost (around 30psi)

Its an rb26/30 with stock cams in it, head is machined for big lift cams in the future, ill throw some different cams in it within the next few months

So who's got what? And more importantly, who's had problems and who's happy with what they've got?

Cheers guys

-Steve

i have hks dual valve springs for step 2 cams...

yet to install them so i cant comment but i think its wise to run springs that match the cam or at least are recommended by the cam manufacturer for those type of cams..

i have been told that hks make good stuff for the rb26s so i have gone wiv all hks inside..

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
