I'd get the supertech dual valves springs and keep the stock valves. Our stock valve should handle

o3nisoaso3

yea, it should work for the 2.2l i know it works with the 2.0

06cobaltindallas

well see i already ordered the supertech .5mm sized valves but i really wanted 1mm over for what im doing. i called supertech and they said that they can make 1mm ovr but they have 3 set minimum. so ive read about the hondas being able to use ferrea valves with the supertech set up

Yeah it should work, you just need to make sure your retainers and locks match your valves(unless youve got some crazy non stock length valve setup)





Stock valves suck ballz

If anything upgrade the valves. The valve springs are not the greatest either, but they will suffice.

TTR has some great stainless valves for like 250. I can't quite convince myself to get those ferrera springs yet.

06cobaltindallas

ya i checked the head diam. and valve lengths and they are the same for both companies so i should be ok then?

You need to make sure your retainers have the same number of grooves as your valves.

We now have the Super Tech Springs at www.TurboTechRacing.com

Just make sure that the cams do not coil bind the supertech springs. The install height is not what GM recommends, and the springs will not reach the .500 lift that supertech claims from there website using GM recommendations.

I'm not sure, the supertech upper retainer has a silly dished geometry just to try to get rid of the installed valve height issue.
Not sure how much clearance does it helps to gain, but may be a lot less worse than some are used to think

Sentry

EDIT: Actually, it looks like the supertech kit comes with retainers. That's a plus.

06cobaltindallas

ya it comes with the springs, seats and retainers. i paid 369 for the kit.
well i already bought all the supertech parts and will be sending my head off to Port Flow
to do all the work so i think they will get it all squared away.

just so you know, someone from Hahn had a sunfire with the 2.2L L61, making over 600hp and ran 10's

they used the stock L61 valves, so I think you are good with the stock valves, just my .02

06cobaltindallas

ya i know about hahn doing that, but id rather have the upgrade and know its going to last me a bit longer if i decide to throw the abuse at it.

They are good enought to handle the power with everything and the valve springs. now if he plans on boosting or nitrious id look for lsj valves or some company such as supertech or any good valve producer

06cobaltindallas

yes i am boosting the car. i even have all my mods in my sig. lol. ya my rep who gets my parts personally knows the guys at supertech and asked them what they recomend for my application. the only thing i had to question was if i could basically use another companys valves with their set up. I wanted 1mm ovr sized and they only offered .5mm ovr. so thats the reason behind it all. the goal for the car is 650+

You bastard, I am getting the GT35. Good luck man.

06cobaltindallas

lmao. thanks man. ya i was going to get the disco potato but it is too small for my set up

tru2nrtt777

Why did you not just go with a GT42R? I know it would be peaky but not much more than the 35

06cobaltindallas

money issues and the spooling time of the turbo. i had to get the gt35 with a t4 flange and bigger housing. i think its like 70a/r but id have to check.
