Hi,

EFR, rene :)
my attendion was the same, i also was trying to use a medium turbo but with quick spool for maximum driveability

I think several people are running the Pankl setup now, let's see if it holds up mild abuse. Also looking forward to your feedback on the turbo! 8)

If you are going to drop the F(errea)bomb Don is your man

But he is forbidden to write about it as the forum only has space for 1,000,000 pages :lol:

I was rather hoping Mike would respond as mention of the F(errea) word normally gets him quite animated :lol:

Oh my god, I try to repress the memory of ferrea valves.

So we are at the Autosport show in Birmingham back in probably 2006-7, it's a pretty cool show, very big with almost every company involved in tuning and Motorsport present.

We are wandering around and looking at the various stands, Don is on a major information gathering mission for his TrackToy build, Steve and JP are with us as we'll. We come across the ferrea valves stand and stop to take a look, initially I found it quite interesting with the different sizes and materials on offer. Don starts chatting to the sales guy on the stand.

After about 10 minutes I was getting bored so decided to have a look at some nearby stands, I return after another 10 minutes to find they are still chatting. Hmm I'll go look at some things a bit further away I thought. I come back another 10 mins later and OMG they are still talking! I decide at this point to properly continue my route round the various stands, after about another 30 minutes I returned and found the conversation looked like it was winding up so I stayed for the extra 5 mins before it was properly over!

Seriously how long does it take to discuss little discs of metal with sticks on the end!! :D :D

Anyway that's the story, I try not to think about it. :D

Sorry and to answer Rene's question. I just went for standard valves using HKS springs and HKS 264 cams. :D

Don is the person to speak to for all thigs valve related!! :D

It's all so long ago I can't remember what we discussed! I did however text Mike a picture of the F stand a couple of years ago when he was on holiday in New Zealand as I knew how much he'd miss it. Apparently ths text woke him up as it was the dead of night NZ time. Oh the horror :twisted: :lol:
