I was told by the engine builder/shop that reconditioned my neo head to use performance valve springs at a minimum with new retainers, said he's rebuild some engines cause the retainer cracked..

Thats interesting - cause i was looking at a set of the Tomei type A for rb25. So no good then?

Ive used the tomei type A for my poncams for years theve worked fine but yeah depends what cam your using.

Ive had performance springs fail once in an engine. SBF at 9300rpm. Thats about it. I personally run them in my tractor with 40psi and havnt had a drama. Its like every other item on the market. If wrongly installed or abused, failure is imminent

For everyone. Supertech don't do a spring for the neo.

Only way to use supertech valve springs is to change valves as well. Straight from Jim at the only supplier in Australia.

LOL. I hear you. Just like all the posts saying not to use Tomei/HKS/Jap when none offer NEO springs either :)

I am going Perforance Valve springs and retainers simply because I am hoping they aren't any worse than new std OE NEO RB25DET springs.

If I could afford Ferrea (Part no. S10078 dual springs and require their Ti retainers to be used) I would hand over the cash, but given my engine is only running small 252 Tomei cams the main reason for wanting springs is boost is expected to be up around 26-28psi and revs around 8,800-9,000rpm and guess std springs may not be the greatest at those revs, boost and expected power at that level

Been watching this thread. Been using stock neo springs in mates car, 260 ponnies, 32psi and no issue atm

but building a 25/30 so was just going to get the performance spring and retainer set .

Not sure what everyone is going on about in this thread but, i have only ever seen the performance springs and double ferreas for sale for neo's.

Ive used the preformance springs in sohc rb30s with no problems

cheers

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
