Hi guys,

I disassembled my spare head competely and I'm in the process of porting and polshing, which is going to take me a while to do right. In the meantime I would like to order new valves. Does anyone know where I can buy performance valves for the KA24E? I have found some for the ka24de, but I haven't had luck for the ka24e. Thanks guys.

I know Nissan Motorsports sells a 40mm exhaust valve that would have to be custom installed into your head (its not a drop in replacement!). After that, stock valves should be more than adequate for anything you throw at it (except maybe a 1000hp shot of nitrous). You could always check out http://www.RealNissan.com and see what kind of goodies they have.

I want to stay away from larger valves, it's too much of a hassle and there's not much gains to be had. I'm also in the process of building a turbo manifold, so I don't have to worry about trying to gain bits of power from larger valves. I would like forged stainless steel high flow valves like the ones ferrea makes for the ka24de. If not high flow, at least forged stainless steel. Does anyone else happen to know of anything? I will give realinissan a call in the meantime.

Thanks
