Tomei CA18DET Valve Guide Set Nissan 13 Silvia | 180SX 1988-1999
$336.00

If you're diving into the world of high-performance engines, you probably know that every little detail counts. That's where Tomei comes in. Since 1968, this Japanese company has been at the forefront of race car tuning. Over the decades, they've really honed their craft, becoming a go-to name in motorsports. Their products have been put to the test in just about every racing discipline you can think of, which speaks volumes about their reliability and performance.

What sets Tomei apart is their racing heritage. The folks behind the scenes understand the brutal demands that racing puts on an engine. They use only top-shelf materials that can withstand the heat and strain that come with pushing your vehicle to the limit—whether you're tearing up the streets or hitting the track hard.

Take their valve guides, for example. Made from Phosphor Bronze (that's a Cn-Sn-P alloy for the tech-savvy), these guides are designed for high RPM engines that crave power. You see, modern race engines are all about squeezing out maximum performance, which means they generate a lot of heat. This can lead to quicker wear and tear on valve train components, but not with Tomei's guides. The Phosphor Bronze material offers lower friction, which means you can maintain optimal clearances. This is crucial for reducing stress on the valve train assembly, helping to prevent issues like seizures or cracks when you're pushing your engine hard.

Now, let's get into some specifics. The tensile strength of these valve guides ranges from 590 to 685nm, and they boast a hardness rating of 180 to 230HB. That's some serious durability right there. They're designed to fit models like the Nissan CA18DE and CA18DET, which means if you're working on a Nissan 13 Silvia from 1988 to 1993 or a 180SX from 1989 to 1999, you're in luck.

For those looking to install these guides, you can find the instructions here. Just a heads up, getting the fitment right is key, so make sure to pay attention to the details.

In short, if you want to give your engine the best chance to perform under pressure, Tomei's valve guide set is a solid choice. You're not just buying parts; you're investing in quality that's been proven on the racetrack.
