VALVE SPRINGS AND RETAINERS
 

I going to be using a stage 2 turbo camshaft from crower and i need to upgrade my vavle train with this cam. its for a d16z6.unfortunately for me they are out of stock on thier kits and wont have any for 3-4 weeks. anyone got any recommendations on who makes a good spring /retainer kit? oh and what the difference or what is better titanium or aluminum retainers? redline will be 8k at approx 15psi. help me out guys! ;D

titanium is better. it is not as malleable (but i'm not sure thats why its better).

skunk2 springs and retainers not sure if they have em for d series but they probably do.good to 10k
and def. go with titanium retainers

titanium ay? cool ill look into it some more...

Re:VALVE SPRINGS AND RETAINERS
 

remember if you roll with tiutanium retainers, they have a relatively short life expectancy...i ran into trouble with them before. so its stock valvetrain for me thanks

Re:VALVE SPRINGS AND RETAINERS
 

wtf? are you serius, ---- mang, i thought there suppose to be better than stock. dam you TITANIUM!!!!

Re:VALVE SPRINGS AND RETAINERS
 

anything high perormance and lighter weight like that always has a short life expectancy, endyn says they change their springs and retainers after 7 passes. in an all motor b20 vtec so i guess they do that for a reason. and at 400 bucks a set. i think ill pass

well iguess theres only one way to find out how long they last....

Re:VALVE SPRINGS AND RETAINERS
 

ill tell you how long theyll last. 2 summers of beating them. my best friend blew up a 12 sec. all motor b18c5 cause the springs wore out. 2 summers and maybe 8000 miles. gone . lots o money lost there
