Is there any significant problem with running intake valves in place of exhaust valves, and vice versa? This would be for a NA application, IIRC the exhaust valves on a turbo car are a different variant of stainless and of course all exhaust valves have more guide clearance.
I'm sitting here fapping to a catalog of OEM valve dimension and my hamster wheel is spinning.
-
I have run all intake valves in a cummins head with out issue. Many trips past 1800 F egt's. I would say most valves should be okay in either app.

Why didn't you drown in the huricane?

Do you have a turbo car?

Whatever he's scheming on is going to fail again. Only then will he see the light.
See this is where I have everyone on the site beat. Usually don't post to much about my car making claims and bragging. And when it does fail as all turbo cars do atleast once a year I get on it and have the thing fixed so fast that even locals never knew it was down. Except for Fowwee he holds my tools for me. while he talks about things like tensile loading and his fasination with det cans.
He truely is the only good help in town.

From a stock cam D16? Yup.

High compression turbo D-series is the worst possible parts combination I think I have ever heard of.

I have no desire to make an engine bleed oil into the combustion chamber due to poor design.

put a stick in that hamster wheel, when its spinning nothing good happens :mexi:
-
Some OEM cars the exhaust valves have s black something coating on them where as the intakes don't. Mazdas are this way.
-
Black Nitride coating I think, but no I really don't know. It's harder than the valve itself. A thermal barrier coating of sorts to keep the surface of the valve cooler.
-
Black nitride and chromium are the two popular OEM coatings. There are writeups on them, and the correct guides to use.

He's building an NA K.

Mr Davis.. answer my goddamn question. What are you trying to achieve?
To increase headflow?? I thought it was fucking obvious, Dullard.
-
They are on to much more advanced coatings and shit now.. Lookup Exceldyne
I think you'll be ok Just have to keep your timing right
-
Ferrea is the only valve I've seen that withstands being revved past 8500rpms, and if you go to PRI and talk with the tech guys at each booth you understand why that is.
-
Also, could a much larger exhaust valve (relative to the size of a given intake valve) hurt performance?
Yeap. If you make it too big it becomes too shrouded. And heavier.
-
1.25:1 is the typical ratio of intake:exhaust. This may change depending on port dynamics, flow, and ideal powerband.
-
for a N/A motor, Would the larger exhaust valves not help in a turbo application where you have higher backpressure than N/A or supercharged?
I was thinking 1:1 or close
and Ferrea valves are fucking awesome, unless you go del west or exceldyne :noel:

Pent roof chambers naturally unshroud the valves at higher lifts

Everyone I've heard discuss it, who could find their ass with both hands, says make the intakes larger to get more air in and the exhaust finds it's own way out. The 752 whp record setting D16 is supposed to have big intakes and stock sized exhausts. There are a number of superbikes that increased power dramatically in the late 90s by making the exhaust valves smaller while keeping the geometry/CR/cams approx the same and bolting on some different induction and exhaust, Motoguy or whatever his name is who advocates the hard break in method has some writeups on it.
Still, what an engine wants is what an engine wants. I would not be surprised, at all, to find out that engines wanting bigger exhaust valves (especially in a non forced induction app) is commonplace.
-
I figured the scavengin effect in a turbocharged engine to be minimal therefore larger exhaust valves would help compensate flow losses. Theory for you...
need to take a motor, run it, swap heads to the larger Exh valves run again and see what happens. Might pick up, might need to be sent to the chineese for melt down...

Higher lift and bigger valves are two different things. So what's yoru point?
You always want the intakes bigger than the exhaust. If you make the exhaust bigger, this compromises the intake size, which is more crucial. The engine has to do work to pull the air in. But on the exhaust side the valves are opened before BDC, and most of the mass of exhaust exits on its own before the engine has to do work to push it out.
-
First off technically air is not pulled in. its pushed from a higher pressure to a lower... Understand that before you comment.
A pent roof chamber provides little shrouding, therefore bigger valves should not have a problem with shrouding, regardless of lift.
If Boosted with a Turbocharger, you have far more exhaust pressure and volume to release into a restriction, if the turbo is efficient and has low back pressure all is well, but is not always the case. If you have a system where you have alot of backpressure, more exhaust flow will benefit.
Also, if the chamber is not entirely purged of exhaust gasses, your wasting energy re-compressing heated inert exhaust gasses from the previous cycle.

You're wrong. The pressure in the cylinder right when the intake valve opens is higher than the intake charge. The residual exhaust gasses push into the intake contaminating the charge untill the piston decends and expands the chage in the cylinder enough that it's of lower pressure than the intake, at which point the charge flows in.
I said bigger valves will be shrouded more. There is nothing wrong with that statement. I also said bigger valves will be heavier, which is also true. You can talk combustion chamber design all day long, but my points still stand.
Pressure and flow are two different things. If you have high backpressure from an incorrectly sized turbine, then you need to select a correctly sized turbine, not change the exhaust valve size.
The chamber is always contaminated with exhaust gasses. Welcome to <100% VE.

Look up Scavenging, your off as usual, how do you think N/A motors can achieve VE's above 100%?
Scavenging and intake pulse tuning.
I said nothing about valve weight, easily overcome with spring pressure.
You really have no clue...

I see you're not arguing pressure anymore... :)
I'm talking about a turbocharged engine obviously. Even with a "100%" VE N/A engine, you still have a combustion chamber's worth of exhaust gasses. Over 100% and you begin to flush the chamber, but you'll never get all the exhaust gasses out. I don't know. I understand.

Eh, I'm siding more with Pat on this. There are a lot of variables at play and some give-take taking place, but for the most part Pat is correct.
While exhaust pressure is elevated, so is intake pressure. For the majority of turbocharged vehicles on this planet the ratio of inlet to outlet pressure is roughly the same as a NA vehicle. The highest discrepancy with respect to exhaust is always before spool occurs... who cares, you don't make any power there anyway.
Also, pent roof yadda yadda. 4G63 are shrouded from the factory and flow like crap regardless of impressive static flowbench numbers. They outflow Honda B-series yet make mediochre power. There are other examples.
Using the piston as an expander on the inlet stroke is all well and good for a blower car, but when you are dealing with a Cup motor or a short RS high rpm NA setup or some turbo setups the piston very much sucks the intake charge past the intake valve restriction - lessening this restriction makes it easier to fit more air mass. With respect to the exhaust, the gasses compress and if they take a little longer to escape the chamber well tuning the ignition timing to place the bulk of that exhaust pressure at a good rod angle simply means more of it is spent moving the engine down the road.

This discussion specified Mr. Davis was considering N/A.
if you read the opening thread you would not be talking...
Is there any significant problem with running intake valves in place of exhaust valves, and vice versa? This would be for a NA application, IIRC the exhaust valves on a turbo car are a different variant of stainless and of course all exhaust valves have more guide clearance.
I'm sitting here fapping to a catalog of OEM valve dimension and my hamster wheel is spinning.
Also still with proper tuning there will be a pressure pulse arriving at the tintake valve at the time it opens overriding any residual pressure in the chamber. (runner length tuning)
-

Mr. Davis Im dissappointed. Air in regards to Absolute pressure can never be sucked or pulled. it is simply pushed from a higher pressure to a lower pressure. when static, the air may have any pressure but no differential.

I'm not a big fan of intake harmonics. For every harmonic there is an anti-harmonic, it all averages out meaning if you mathematically masturbate to pipe organs have you accomplished anything other than wasting your time? Exhaust harmonics are somehat important, depending on the application.

Cool, let's kill the discussion off for the laymen: the near-atmospheric crankcase pressure on the bottom of the piston is one hell of a cockblocker that fights engine acceleration and a bigger intake valve helps.
-
edit:
You may also wish to consider crank case pressure, as it is reduced, your effective pressure above the piston rises in proportion.
I have a 5 stage dry sump setup for when I finally get my shit right. (probably overkill)

What? That makes no sense.

What he said makes sense. What you said does not. You're saying that by reducing the pressure on the bottom of the piston, the "effective" pressure above it will somehow change. This makes no sense.
-
the differential of pressure is what moves the piston, reduce it on the bottom and it moves down easier.
that whole air getting pushed not pulled thing...
-

So you're saying that reducing the pressure of the air below the piston means the piston does less work compressing the air below it as it travels up and down the cylinder. Yeap. But this does nothing to the pressure above the piston. Just means the piston does less work on the air in the crankcase.

Oh I know it works, and so do you. You just explained it the wrong way. You wouldn't oil a rusty bearing and tell me it spins better because you reduce the effective pressure. It's because you reduce the coefficient of dynamic friction by oiling it. Similarly, vac pumps remove some of the mass of air out of the engine, so the pistons do less work moving it around. And the vacuum also helps seal the rings up too.

and Dry Sump helps remove the Oil Windage further reducing drag

You guys are Aaron Caking up this thread.
Reported.
Jd, I remember reading in that faggot Taylor's 1st book about how he believed a I to E valve ratio closer to 1:1 would make more midrange torque, then proceeded to do nothing to verify the claim other than reference some dated materials others wrote. What is your take on this? Also, what does Sir Harry Ricardo think about it?
-
Taylor didn't do anything, not even write his own book. He left that for undergraduates to do. Try to verify his referrences, a good third of them have nothing to do with what he's saying and another third don't quite mean what he's saying. Still a good primer.
