VALVETRAIN

K30DPC · Post by **K30DPC** » Wed May 28, 2014 12:50 am

I'm looking for decent valvetrain for my new turbo engine. It have to be new parts only, and must be bulletproof. I need your advice what brands should I go for. Parts needed for now are:
- valves
- valves guides
- steam seals
- springs
- retainers

So... S2, BC, Ferrea, OEM or other?

If you have any experience or know anything just write what brand/model and why.
Thanks
Mario

considering this myself at the moment.

as I'm not going for crazy bhp, I don't plan to go crazy on the build but think SuperTech for most of the top end gear will be fine for me.

prices are decent, but like i said it won't be a stupid-big bhp build

Have a read into bc cams before you take the plunge.

There is also a difference between brian crower and just crower.

Thanks for your input guys. But I'm not even thinking about cams for now. Only stuff from first post for now. I wanna collect all parts needed and take all them gubbins to machine garrage for all the grinding and polishing jobs. Cams have to wait.

You can see in my threat what I've already prepared for bottom end. So now I'm looking for matching top.
My power goal is
200-250 whp street tune
350-400 whp fun tune
If there will be more or less it's not the end of the world. Safety is my priority

I'm running Marks and Spencer's underpants, and 9 months on everything is still safe and well secured.
