oh man to hell with all the nay sayers i got the ol h22 hatch crapper tuned last friday. it has egle rods and some mahle 11.5 or 12:1 pistons and some crower all motor cams. howard at RLZ down in charlotte nc is the man. he worked on it for about 2 hrs and finally at 8 pounds on 110 it made an insanely fast 309 hp and 243 ft-lbs. the turbo was running out of air i need to find a GT35 or 37 and its ready for another run. it builds torque instantly screw a b16 or a gsr haha this thing is nuts. the thing that sucks is it broke the outside intake retainer on number 4 and droped a valve. i was lucky though it didnt mess the piston up too bad. i will be able to fix it with a die grinder and about 10 min. it just kinda mashed the valve relief out a little and pushed down on the top of the dome but its not that big a deal. now i i want to put some good springs in it and i dont have a clue what im looking at.... i keep seeing all these different seat pressures 85 and 100 psi and titanium and chromoly and bla bla bla. what do i need to look for? i read that titanium isnt as good as chromoly then i read that chromoly sucks then i read MORE SEAT PRESSURE! then i read ---- SEAT PRESSURE! ive found some springs on ebay that are cheaper than the rest what makes the rest better than them. the company seems to know what their talking about i reckon but im not trying to do this again so im not gonna spend the money if their pieces of ---- you know? im searching right now but i figured id ask here too in hopes that someone could tell me something fast i need this thing fixed asap!

 

1. Mahles lick ***


2. Go supertech springs and ti retasiners.. Saved My H from a 12K overrev.

 

well to be completely honest im not exactly sure that these are mahle pistons. i didnt build the motor i bought it from a guy through a guy from this other guy that knows a guy with a friend that builds motors....actually his name is brian and he does a lot at VIR? idk...but knowing that h22s dont like any piston but those its a good assumpton... ill get the numbers off the tops of the pistons and see if they mean anyhting to anyone. so whats the deal on the ebay valve springs and ----? amd who gets the hook up on some good springs and retainers cometic gaskets and arp studs...i reckon ima keep stock valves...

 

mahles are junk

 

like i said, im not 100% sure that thats whats in it just an assumption as this thing is not sleeved. ill get those numbers tomorrow and see if i cant figure out what these things are. why are they junk i havent heard much bad about them other than their fairly inconsistant size wise?

 

 

i run supertech springs good price and i havnt had a problem at all. and i run 8400 rpm redline. on an otherwise stock head.

 

yea im leaning towards the supertech springs and retainers....looks like a little over 300 plus shipping which aint that bad i dont think. i like all the mahle bashing and no real explination for them? whats the deal there? hopefully getting this thing done by the end of the week ill get some pics of the car the carnage and setup up when i get a camera around everything hopefuly next week or the next
