This is the specific valve set we use on our SFWD Civics. We use the Inconel Exhaust Valve which can withstand high temperatures & Stainless Intake racing valve for turbo/supercharged engines.
Supertech Performance Valves
- High Flow Rates
- Less Friction
- More Power
- Featuring Black Nitrided Treatment!
Note: This is a complete set of 8 Exhaust Valves
Supertech Extreme Flow Performance Valves for Pro Street and Racing are engineered for High RPM and High HP. Extreme Flow Valves outperform any other valve on the market today, and with their Nitride Coating are perfect for High Temperatures (and run cooler which improves value life), Nitrous, Turbos and Superchargers.For naturally aspirated motors these valves will give you a much greater cylinder flow for good HP gains.
Manufacturing/Description
Intake and Exhaust Valves are One Piece Forged, High Temperature, High Nickel, Stainless Steel Alloy. Valves are CNC finished to strict tolerances making these valves the choice for the most demanding race classes.
Black Nitride (Coating) Intake:
The micro-hardness is higher than the stainless steel base material, keeping good ductility beneath the hard nitrided layer (micro-hardness is 800HV minimum). Surface finish is smoother than with chromed stems, having less friction between stem and guide. ---
Valve seat surface is harder with the nitrided layer, lasting longer with lead free fuels, alcohols, nitro or other "explosive" mixes. Matches any kind of seats (nodular iron seats, steel powder metal seats, hard aluminum-copper seats or beryllium copper seats). ---
The higher the engine speed the bigger the power loss due to internal engine friction! The black nitride layer reduces this power loss due to less valve-guide friction. The nitrided layer is adhered to the base material at a microscopic level, so does not "flake" or brake when the valves bend due to impacts with the pistons. ---
The Black Nitride applies to the whole valve while the chrome coating is only applied to the stem. All valves are swirl polished, have stem undercut and a hardened tip
Inconel Exhaust Valve:
Inconel 751/Nimonic - These Nickel based alloy materials are used for Exhaust valves in engines that reach very high temperatures and its use is growing with the application of turbos and superchargers.
