"From Prototype and Small Custom Runs to Large Volume Production, Spring Engineers' size, experience and financial strength allow a serious commitment of resources to any project needing Springs, Metal Stampings or Wire Forms."

Seems that if enough of us are willing, we may have the source. I am close enough to drive to their facility and ask any/all questions you guys have. Might be worth it to check this out.

I am also willing to have my car be the test car for all of this. If I can get a few of you to say you're down, I will give them a ring and see about getting this going.

Well, lets keep this is mind then guys. I'll bring it up again in a few months then.

count me in, in the near future. As soon as i get my eclipse sold im using the $$ from that for my swap... i should have some left over. I was looking @ getting a Tomei top end kit but.... im guessing that's gonna be a LOT of money... are these springs going to be made out of titanium or is that something yet to be discussed?

Valve spring set from Tomei for the CA is around ~$260

[buffy]

Can you supply ferrea double valve springs, seats and retainers?

[rico05]

Alan where are they on the site? I found the SR ones, but you don't have CA ones listed. Can you get them anytime?

[fanta]

Many valvetrain pieces are already available, we need a Fidanza! :oface

[rico05]

As in flywheels? Here are JUN ones.Light weight (5.4 kg):http://www.upgrademotoring.com...l.htmUltra Light Weight (5.2 kg)http://www.upgrademotoring.com...l.htm

[minutericesentra]

Why not get a 5 lb!?

[rico05]

Cuz I drive my car on the street.

[fanta]

Fidanza's replaceable friction surfaces are a huge plus, that's why I wont go with a JUN unit. =/

We need to all start emailing those predjudice bastards. I want a findanza flywheel too.

Aaron! whats up man? Glad to see you posting in the CA section finally. Are we still up for me helping with the swap? Just keep me updated when you get everything.

everything looks good on the horizon I got my timing fixed on the eclipse I THINK... just a matter of getting the thing sold now :-D I downloaded the factory service manual for an S13 w/ CA engine (australian FSM i think...) and im stoked :-D

[Jezz_s13]

Ferrea already make decent dual springs and titanium retainers for the CA.

They are packaged in packs of 24 though (VG30DETT), maybe Ferrea can be persuaded to pack them into packs of 16 for the proper engine.

Most of the SR parts have the same pricing as the CA parts... so far this is true for CA cams, headgaskets, and valve springs.

Ok, for real. Stop it. Damn you Alan! You won't rest till you have all my money!
