Construction & Design:
The valve springs are manufactured from the highest grade, super clean chrome silicon alloy, known for its excellent fatigue life and resistance to heat and stress. This material choice ensures the springs maintain consistent pressure throughout their service life, even under the rigors of high RPM operation.
The titanium retainers are precision CNC machined from 6AL4V round bar titanium, a material prized for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This reduces valvetrain mass, allowing for quicker valve response and improved engine efficiency. The exacting tolerances of the retainers ensure a secure fit and reliable performance without the need for additional modifications.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Brian Crower Valve Springs with Retainers kit is straightforward and designed to fit the stock cylinder head of the 2004–2006 Scion xA and xB with the 1NZ-FE 1.5L engine. No machine work is required due to the carefully engineered coil bind clearance. This makes the upgrade accessible to experienced enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
For best results, it is recommended to pair these valve springs with compatible performance camshafts, such as those offered by Brian Crower, to fully capitalize on the enhanced valvetrain capabilities.
What's Included:
