ZRP Std Intake Valves Black Nitride for Mini Cooper BMW 2.0L B48 JCW F56 2014-

Mini Cooper / BMW 2.0L B48 JCW & F56 (2014–Current) – ZRP Standard Black Nitride Intake Valves (Set of 8)

ZRP Standard Black Nitride Intake Valves are engineered for the BMW / Mini 2.0L B48 turbocharged engine, including JCW and F56 models (2014–current). Designed for high-efficiency, high-RPM, and boosted applications, these intake valves provide outstanding durability, dimensional stability, and long-term reliability under demanding thermal and mechanical conditions.

Manufactured from one-piece forged high-grade stainless steel (EV8 / 21-4N), each valve undergoes a specialized black nitriding process. This advanced surface hardening treatment diffuses nitrogen into the outer layer of the valve, significantly increasing wear resistance and fatigue strength while reducing friction between the valve stem and guide due to the smoother, hardened surface.

Unlike localized chrome coatings, the entire valve — including both stem and head — receives the black nitrided treatment. This ensures uniform surface protection, improved resistance to abrasion and valve seat recession, and extended service life in modern high-output turbocharged engines.

Each valve is precision forged, CNC-machined, polished, and tip hardened to meet strict dimensional tolerances. This guarantees accurate valve seating, stable high-RPM operation, and consistent sealing performance in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged configurations.
