Rb26 Valves For Rebuild?

[Angus Smart]

Shane, where was that ordered from?

i got 476 for the springs / retainers and 162 for the guides.

as for the springs, from supertech, the two different spring rates. 70 and 92. what is the best to go with?

i'm only going to use standard valves.

Performance Closeout (found them on ebay)

theres actually 3 different springs u can get. 2 dual springs and 1 single spring. in the duals, 1 kit uses the factory seat and the other uses a new supertech seat (supplied with the kit) the 1 that uses the supertech seat is $549

the guys doing the head (jhh engineering in brissy) said the dual spring kit with std seat would be fine for our application (~8800rpm, tomei 270deg 10.8 inlet & 280deg 10.8 exhaust)

any experience with supertech valves?

naprec run 6mm on the exhaust which will mean custom exhaust guide.

I have used ferrea, naprec, and nitto recommend them all, but ferrea is the best quality IMHO.

i've just ordered the full supertech catalogue (dual springs & ti retainers, guides & OS valves) from the states for a mates motor i'm building, should arrive in the next few days

prices i got were:

valves full set (1mm SS inlet, 1mm Inconel exhaust) - US$499/set

dual springs & ti retainers - US$459/set

manganese bronze guides - US$120/set

total including shipping in aussie $$'s was $1466.12

make sure the guy installing the oversize valves inserts a new valve seat as the std wont cope with the oversize valve

jhh engineering recommended i use supertech, as that is what they use and recommend for valvetrain gear. ferrea are also pretty good they say.
