Revs, PSI and cam profile are the three biggest/ if the only factors when considering valve spring upgrade

I don't see how power makes a difference

Generally Jap and standard cams have a pussy profile so a stronger spring is less required

I realise that......but FWIW, most people intent on running 20 psi put on a turbo big enough to do 20 psi at the best flow/most response they can get. People wanting to make more power will put on a turbo able to do 30 psi at the best flow/most response they can get at that level. etc. Doesn't matter if it's a HG highflow, HG replacement, Garret GT/X, Holset, whatever. At any given power level, the most appropriate current turbos (let's ignore old tech turbos) from different sources are all approximately the same thing. If you stray off that line then you're choosing something that is either being run below its best boost for the flow or below its best flow for the boost.

Next we will be dragging out compressor maps to see where our valves will float.

The point is, power itself doesn't influence where or when this issue will arise.

Boost, revs and ramp rate of the cams are it. If the engine makes 200 hp at 15 psi at 6500 rpm and it floats, why would it float earlier with 600 hp at 15 psi at 6500 rpm?

hey any updates on this topic? how have the Performance Valve Springs held up over time for the rb25det neo? also any other spring manufactures other than ferrea trusted for the NEO?

Mine have been in for 6-7 years with the car doing around 15-20 track days a year on top of many KMs of street driving before it was made into a dedicated track car.

Never missed a beat with the Performance Valve Springs! Good gear :thumbsup:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
