  • NISSAN engines covered

    The Pulsar GTI-R RNN14 gets its own version of the SR20DET, Nissan's 2.0 litre 16-valve four-cylinder with twin overhead camshafts and a turbo, fitted to this four-wheel-drive compact.

    The engine has 8 inlet valves, two per cylinder. Raised boost, sharper camshafts or a higher rev limit load them well beyond stock use.

    SUPERTECH reinforced inlet valves

    On a tuned turbo four-cylinder, each inlet valve opens dozens of times per second, then strikes its seat and slides in its guide under boost pressure. It runs between 400 and 550 °C, where the original chrome-silicon steel falls from 500 MPa at 500 °C to 250 MPa at 600 °C: 50 % of its strength is gone.

    SUPERTECH makes these valves from a racing stainless steel of the EV8 family, which keeps 650 MPa at 500 °C and 550 MPa at 600 °C, 30 % and then 120 % more than the original steel. Black nitriding makes the stem harder and smoother, so it wears less in the guide.

    SUPERTECH supplies it in +1 mm oversize: 35.15 mm head, 5.97 mm stem and 102.10 mm length. The wider head opens a larger passage at the seat: the cylinder fills better and the engine gains power, with the inlet seats cut to the new size.

    Technical guide

    The brand offered

    SUPERTECHSUPERTECH works out of San Jose, California, and has supplied valvetrain parts for racing engines for more than 30 years: valves, springs, retainers and guides. Each part number starts from a specific cylinder head, goes through ultrasound, X-ray and laser checks, then is proven with engine builders, from drag strip to circuit.

    When reinforced valves become necessary

    • Higher-lift camshafts or stiffer springs
    • Raised rev limit
    • Turbo or supercharger fitted
    • Cylinder head rebuilt for circuit, hill climb or rally
    • Original valves marked, worn or already reground
