JP Engines
 
Hey guys where can I get a JP .12 P/S set for an S3 from, either in Australia or on-line.

Thanx :)

How do you like your JP? How is it powerwise compared to a NS12S3 or a RB V12 3 port? Thanks.

i have a very old S5 JP and was wondering how much more power can i draw from it to compete with the nova max or the new NS JP 5P...


What else can i do to get more power!!! i'm already running very lean and i'm still not able to get the power ... of the novamax ...


i have re-condition the PS and new conrod... anything else to bring the most out of this engine before i replace it with a novamax ?

With new conrod installed, check the play between it and the crankshaft(big end). If there is still about 20-30 deg. reduce your head shim (2mm is the minimum).

The 20-30 deg play will make your new piston can not reach maximum Top Dead Center, thus lowering your compression ratio.

Hey guys I heard the jp's are going up in price. I know they are really good motors i heard the 12's are up to 500 to 600 $ and the 21's are nearly 1,000 but they are team addition thats why the price increase, thats all he want's to build are for his team what do you all think.

i wouldn't spend that much on an rc engine, i am plenty happy w/ my ns12s5:D

The JP NS12 TS3 cost 350,- Euro's in Holland wich comes to about $440,- (if 'm correct).

JP engines.
 
Because of all this price increasig I decided to build my own engine (Palmaris PS12). Two prototypes were already tested on Winternats in Ft Myers. We didn't get realy good place there, but it was related to cars and driving but not to engines.
within 2 month I will be able to bring it to market at very reasonble price.
:nod:
BTW, P/ S sets are availible in three cofiguration-BRB, AAC and ABC. My personal favorite is BRB. Stefan one of the user of that product so you can check with him performance.

GAMBO94 02-17-2004 07:01 PM

Hi...
Top gun 777,what does BRB mean :confused:

SupermaxxRich 02-17-2004 09:22 PM

Does "BRB" have anything to do with Beryllium? If so, I use it all the time in race engines on valve seats.
