    Titanium valves for the 7M

    Narrow seats on a Turbo 7M just don't last, I tried a fancy radius valve job when I built the brand new head on mine and within 5000km's they leaked like a sieve, went back to a 3 angle that I've always used, end of issue, couldn't see a difference HP wise on a chassis dyno so again race V's...

    CounterClockwise to undo the Bolt looking from the front of the car....... It "Should" be done up to 195ft/lbs so you'll need some way to stop it turning and a big breaker bar.

    Titanium valves for the 7M

    Ok this will be my last post on the subject.... I understand you're all excited that someone 2 doors down is making these things BUT and this it something you need to research fully, a Ti Valve isn't going to be as strong as a Quality SS Valve like a Ferrea, nor is it going to flow anywhere...

    Titanium valves for the 7M

    Nothing stopping you using a 3>4 angle job on SS valves, Ti is weaker than SS so the valve profile needs to be a touch bulkier so you lose flow there, personally I think it'[s a total waste of time effort and money if you're not revving the engine to infinity. You need to factor in the...

    Titanium valves for the 7M

    Waste of $$$ unless you're planning on running it sustained at 9+K rpm, where does the improved flow come from?

    remote mount turbo sizing

    The new vehicle is a Cab/Chassis so I have a ton of room between the rails behind the cab, looking at maybe a GT42/45 type of thing so I can keep boost low but still have a lot of flow.

    The hp of the 7mgte

    Could try a pair of 2mm washers Van and see what it does, (each engine/car combination is different) however it's a double edged sword as you get to the point where the bottom of boost is good but the top end will creep as preloading limits the amount of full open the flapper can achieve...

    The hp of the 7mgte

    You can get into a situation where the Exhaust flow is enough to blow the flapper off the seat, shimming it preloads the flapper to postpone it happening.

    eraezer - Supra MK3 -89 -Swedish Build

    LOL'd @ this :D Couple of weeks back I drove 670 Km's one way to pick up a tray for the Ute, then turned around and returned the same day! (guess living in Australia I'm more used to long distances as going out for Indian food Tuesday night was a 250km round trip)

    remote mount turbo sizing

    Due to the unique layout of the new vehicle here I'll be going semi remote mount when I install my 6.0L LSx, I can keep the piping fairly short so am not at all concerned about "lag" (I'll run a LARGE lazy Turbo and a QS valve again) There are 2 reasons why I'm going this route, Heat and...
