Sheefa Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Why on earth would you want Ti valve spring retainers? Because the come together Chris and package price is fair. http://www.suprastore.com/brcrvakitwit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 You DO NOT want to use Ti retainers for no good reason, they gall on steel collets and on the valve springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My dream set up ... Another Big twins set up Looking forward to the updates ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Ah OK thanks Chris. What would you recommend? Keep the stock retainers, Ti ones are a PITA, use only if needed, and they are not at the sort of RPM's you'll be turning. Nothing like needed...

Sheefa Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Most appreciated Chris. My max RPM will be 7,500 until I can get a built block down the line and stretch to 8,000.

Sheefa Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Updated Spec as now upping the Injectors. On the look out for a decent FMIC as well as I know the 2-row won't be up to the job past 600ish. I am having a lot of the ECU and fuelling work donw in January first by Lee @ SRD. Reason being I want to see what a nice BPU++ set up is with Syvecs and decent fuelling before I bite the bullet in late April/May and have the Big Twins installed in time for Summer. "Breaking myself in gently" as they say. Advice always appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Lee is going to be a very busy man in january. You are doing things in the right way too, no need to rush everything. Look forward to seeing your car again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's a great FMIC, Greg. Same as I had, so it's proven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks all. I will go for that then Lee. We'll talk more about other things and this when I drop the car off. Clutch is probably another point of discussion. I wish I was born with 3 Kidneys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
