Anyone had any experience with getting and fitting uprated valve springs for a Neo head ?

Am looking for a full set to upgrade a head I am using to go with Tomei type B cams

Does anyone know if 2.6 GTR valve springs can be used or is it Neo only ?

Other then that have only seen Spool and Ferrea who list them as available , unless anyone knows otherwise?

As for Ferrea I see they list them as needing to be used as a kit, does that mean with using o/e valves or with their own valves also?

Cheers

From what ive read today tomei actually make a valve spring kit for the type b cams. A few people have questioned the quality of the japanese springs on past posts however and yeh basically recommend ferrea as you said and if it says use as a kit id probably follow what they say....if the heads off then may aswell.

Alot of people couldnt justify the need to change the springs, as the type b cam is a direct drop in and does not require such a mod (unless they are rooted or your running mega boost)

Yes the head is off and plan to have it flowed and ported as required

I would like the engine its going on to be able to run up to 8.5k rpm but don't believe the stock springs will run to that?

Not saying it will use all the revs but providing its safe to that then I rather change them

Certainly whilst its in kit form I want to change them now rather then kick myself later

Will have another look at Tomei springs as I can't say I noticed them for a Neo, only gtst ?

Yeah definatly, I agree id do the same and change them all while its out for sure.

As for tomei springs, went through my history and yes it was for rb25 ( not neo). However i came accross performance springs australia....heres the link may be some kind of help to ya ☺

**edit**

Those ferreas look the goods and by all the reviews ive seen its definatly what id go with when it comes to replacing mine. Whether its a little more or not, i wouldnt go cheap on springs..

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
