New Valves
- Thread starter tom172cup

Expensive but could have guessed they would be that much considering the price of F7R valves. I bought Camtec OEM valves from Trechii components.... Thy destroyed the engine shortly after, stay well clear!
I would definately buy a set of good condition second hand valves from a low mileage cylinder head over brand new pattern part valves.

Why don't you get them then instead of oem?
Found this thread while looking for something else. The super tech ones are good valves but unlike what ktec say and what it says in that link dan posted they are not one piece exhaust valves they are still two piece. Sadly in the case of the f4r there is no readily available good quality one piece at sensible money that I've found so far.
Generic text not specific to the f4r ones. They are two piece exhaust valves according to their tech guy who I spoke to in detail when ordering a few sets of them recently as it was obvious to me (and anyone else who knows much about decent valves) from how cheap they were that they couldn't be made from a single piece bit of inconel as the material alone would be more than the whole valve cost.
In your text you pasted in it is mainly referring to 214n valves which is the inlet but it does mention that alloys like inconel are welded on
Not just amistske you made though dan, ktec clearly know naff all about valve materials either as their site is incorrect about them just like the post about the engine you built.

I bought supertech valves direct from them in USA and it cost me about £280 for a full set inc delivery
Yeah, so much cheaper direct!
Sadly when I bought the last couple of sets that I got I was hit by a relatively hefty customs bill, 153 quid I think it was, but still only came in at about 350 ish a set delivered to my door and it only takes a few days to arrive, you would have to be mental to buy from ktec at the money they charge IMHO!

Just a function of my old age mate, been playing with big power turbo cars for a long time now so can spot a mile off when something is too good to be true with things like that, lol
I guess Ktec dont really know much about the underlying cost or Inconel or for that what valves made of it normally cost as they probably dont deal with that sort of material for any other cars.
So I guess they just saw a product available, so sell it without knowing much about it and to be fair to them they cant really be expected to be experts on every product they sell I suppose.
Bit of a poor show when the end customer like on that burpspeed thread ends up thinking they have got something different to what they really have though.
But like I said originally they are good valves anyway so whether the people they bought them off (not sure if that was Danny or Ktec) misled them intentionally or simply didnt know anything about them so copied and pasted some info off a website thinking it was the right thing doesnt stop them being good valves which are perfectly adequate for their application.
