Thread: Are Stock H22 Valve Springs Upgrades for SR20ve Valve Springs?

Are the stock h22 valve springs better than the sr20ve valve springs?

If so, are they safe for 9000rpm?

Think i read this somewhere

Peace

I think u read that aftermarket springs from the H22 fit. I use supertech springs I think they are the same part number for the H22.

my question is can u use any aftermarket h22 springs? or just the ones that say h22 and sr20ve.

I think you can use any h22 spring.

DO a search on how much pressure does the stock sr20ve springs are and how much the h22 are.If they are stiffer it could be concidered an upgrade over our springs.But I dont know if they are really worth the trouble.Then you will have to make sure the stock h22 springs dont coil bind with N1 cams.

If ur running n1 cams ur fine on the stock valvetrain up to 9k.

Stratton.

i am running n1 cams

but read here for the most part

1. 8500 is safe for n1 cams

2. 8000rpm is safe for stock cams



i am presently revving to 8500

peace

Just use the stock sr20ve springs.You should be good.They are stiffer then the N1 springs.The only thing that I would recomende is not to bounce off the rev limiter at 9k with them.

mash up engine thing that?

i do bounce off the limiter at 1st to 2nd shift as a means of getting rid of wheel spin. so if i go 9k, this will need to stop?

thanks

i know its a old post anyways....if any aftermarket h22 valve spring is compatible with the VE,does that make the stock VE retainers usable on the h22 valve springs...
