    The D16A9 is Honda's 1,590 cc double overhead camshaft 16-valve four-cylinder, from 130 to 132 hp. It powers the Civic IV and V 1.6 i-16 and 160i, the CRX II 1.6 i-16 and the Concerto 1.6, from 1987 to 1996.

    It has 8 inlet valves, two per cylinder, held by Honda 14781-PE0-003 collets. Sharper camshafts, stiffer springs, a higher rev limit or a turbo load them well beyond stock use.

    SUPERTECH reinforced inlet valves

    The inlet valve opens the way for fresh air dozens of times per second at high revs, strikes its seat at every closing and slides constantly in its guide. 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 lost.

    SUPERTECH valves are made 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 surface harder and smoother: the stem rubs and wears less in the guide.

    SUPERTECH supplies this valve in +0.5 mm oversize: 30.5 mm head, 6.57 mm stem, 105.4 mm length. The wider head lets more air past the seat and improves filling, provided the inlet seats are cut to this 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
