springs retainers
 
What are ideal springs and retainers for a turbo setup? I've searched and all I can find are the super tech ones on EBay and 949racing.com are they any good?

Leafy 02-25-2014 03:08 PM

What redline?

Eunos93 02-25-2014 03:12 PM

They offer a dual valve setup that allows you to rev up to 9k

Leafy 02-25-2014 03:15 PM

Wow. You can read the brochure.

I feel like a few more mods other then those valve springs enable a safe 9k redline.

Like an ECU? OP's sig states he's on stock ECU..

Well, I know my setup was able to spin to 10.3K without float, but that was tested due to user/revlimit error, will hopefully never happen again.

Springs is part of the valvetrain, which never should be handled as a complete system.
Cheap Ti retainers, no thanks (my custom steels one were not cheap though...)

Not on stock ecu anymore I gotta update that lol

So no one is running super tech springs? Is anyone on built head at all? Super tech also has 1 mm bigger valves coated in black nitride that seem to be alright. Does anyone have any experience with these items?

Holy Hell

concealer404 03-03-2014 10:08 AM

Right?

Could we possibly be provided with less information to digest in order to better guide OP?

I think not.

TNTUBA 03-03-2014 11:01 AM

Nope. Nobody here is running any form of "built" head. Those +1 mm valves sound cool....that must be a brand new product that just hit the market. No.....wait.....I just did a 10 second search and found out they have been on the market about 10 years.


Kids these days.


Reading is fundamental.

As much as I would love to sell you a wicked built head that flows 25%+ more than your current head and will rev ~1500rpm higher, it's not a good place to spend money until you've got a built bottom end and a good tubular manifold to match it. Headwork is fruit from the very top of the performance/cost tree.

Eunos93 03-03-2014 04:11 PM

I have a built bottom end, all I'm asking is if people use super tech if not what are they using to build their heads?

concealer404 03-03-2014 04:15 PM

Still not the necessary information. How much boost? What turbo? Power? Desired RPM?

Eunos93 03-03-2014 05:43 PM

Right now I have a small eBay t3 turbo with 1000cc injectors and walbro fuel pump and a mild tune on emanate ultimate making 220 at 10lbs of boost, but eventually I want a bigger setup and I want the motor to handle 300-400 HP on a full tune

Valve spring, retainers, honda like redlines.

Putting CTR springs in my GSR head with ITR cams let me spin to 9200rpms. It was awesome.
