hopefully getting one of these bad boys soon cant wait read almost every page and i just want to spend all my money getting one now glad to see it back up, cant wait to post numbers after i get one.

 

i still need to order the needle bearings, and get a bearing puller so i can rebuild mine and get all my boosts back.

any one know the size or part numbers for the bearings?

i might do the snout and coupler while im in there too, not sure yet though

 

HELL YEAH, IT'S ALIVE! My activity should shoot back up now

 

Let's talk valve springs. 75lb supertechs or 82lb ZZP? It seems odd that ZZP can get more lb out of a single coil spring? Opinions? I will be running ZZP's stage 2 cams on my new set up.

 

I have zzp valve springs with stage 2 cams goin into the car in bout a month. Ive heard mixed things on zzp springs tho....

 

So have I. I've heard they aren't what they actually say they are.

 

Grrr...Stupid storm stole my TVS money in replacing / repairing ****. So Nothing until end of December / January. Then I'll have the TVS. Already have the Meth kit =D. Should I do a 2.8 since I have meth? I mean I'll be happy w/ 300-310 but if I can safely get more I'll take it. Anyone have a TVS they are getting rid of arround that time? Set up is going to be

2.9 / 2.8 TVS
S3 H/E
Dual Pass
Phelonic (w/e) spacer
Meth
Full exhaust (already on the car)

**Edit** Only reving to 7K Not going to agressive on the revs.

 

I would atleast get 60lb injectors for a TVS set up. I see in your sig you have 50's. But if you are going to buy new injectors you'd might as well get 80's.

 

I planned on 80's. 50# came with the ZZP S2 kit. I have 42# sitting in my room. So I plan to sell both to pretty much pay off the cost of the 80#. I also considered if I move to move to E85 / E47 (some place that has it at more than one station) then I would need the 80#. Plan ahead this time.

 

I'll be selling my #80's in the spring probably

 

Close to the new year I'll be putting everything together. I'll PM you when I get most of the build in.

 

Yea I might b selling my zzp ones and gettin some supertech. Just don't wanna take the chance

 

Anyone have ID1000's or a 2.6 forsale??

 

I would go with supertech. Nothing against ZZP. Supertechs just been doing it for a long time and they have a great track record. Not worth skimping on in my opinion.

Also, Redline do you know how much power you're putting down?

 

Don't just look at the big bold letters.. Just because ZZP's are rated for 82lbs and supertechs are 75lbs, doesn't mean a whole lot. Pay attention to the specs. Look at where they coil bind, because that's really what matters. That's why you upgrade your valve springs, because your stockers will coil bind. Also, a little secret, compare all of supertech's springs that are compatible with our motor.. (75, 78, 94lbs, I believe it's those 3).. Check out their specs. You'll be surprised at what you learn.


You're welcome.

 

A few of ZZPs older version flat out busted, I'm hoping the 82#s are the revised edition.

 

I was told, by a reliable source, that the specs on the zzp springs aren't possible with currently
Available materials.

That why I picked up a set of Supertechs to replaced zzp 82's for my next build. Not saying the zzp ones can't do what I want, I just know the Supertechs can.

 

Somebody give this man a tvs ^^^ so he can put it to better use than 95% of the rest of us

 

Yea that's where I'm at. Heard a personal acct of that happening the other day. Granted it was the older 78lb springs and have since changed them. I dunno if I wanna chance it

 

Ya I heard the same thing just reciently too. But mrbelvedere was telling me that someone he deals with measured and the super techs will bind using ZZP stage 2 cams

 

so does that make zzp's springs the better set up for their stage 2 cams then?

 

And that's the burning question

 

U only live once, I'll stay zzp and c wut happens. Keep u posted

 

Supertechs.... 82lbs is over kill.

The Supertechs are just a better quality spring. Not saying ZZP's are bad, but the Supertechs have been around a long time, and have been tested/proven in some high horsepower SS/SC's (Time Attack, Area47, etc.).

I'm going to be running the 75lb Supertechs. I have them sitting waiting to be installed.

I'll prob make a how to.

No problem man.

I closed the 2nd thread, but if there is any info u want from it added to this thread let me know.

 

no not the supertechs the zzp springs i was using were only good to .420 in lift not the supertechs

and for the majority of the ecotec owners that will not or are afraid to spin their engines anything more then stock is a waste of your time and not needed
