hi there im after some help im running a go 5 port with a turbo head button and a 053 hong nor pipe and os p3 plugs.i changed the pipe to the 086 hong nor pipe and the motor was very hard to find a tune i have gone up and down withe the hsn and the lsn and i still cant find a happy medium the only thing is the weather is realy cold at the moment will i need a different glow plug for colder weather? any tips ? cheers in advance.

you probably have an air leak if you cant find a tune.

i dont think its a air leak as it was running good with the 053 pipe on wll set back to factory and start again .

Did you change the gasket whaen changing the pipe? If the gasket is worn at all it could cause an air leak. Just a thought.

spudly12 - changing to the 086 from the 053 you should need to lean both needles slightly. Maybe 1/2 a turn on the HSN and 1/4 on the LSN. This is what I did when trying the Dynamite 086 and 053 pipes on the 5 port in my truggy. If you are running the 5 Port in a buggy, the 086 pipe is the ultimate pipe for that motor for sure.
If you are completely lost with the settings, go back to LSN one turn in from flush, and HSN flush with housing. This will get you running with either pipe, then fine tune from there :cool:

JP-1 on a 5 port turbo was awesome get power bottom to top and good mileage 8 1/2 running 210.

jgtruggy 04-06-2008 01:18 PM

I have a jp2 and 3 pipe. Are either of these good for the .25 6port?

mugenb46 04-06-2008 07:05 PM

both are very good, sound nice to, less runtime than the 086 though

JustinD 04-06-2008 07:31 PM

I used the 086 and got less runtime with it and has less power.

mugenb46 04-06-2008 08:44 PM

i never said the 86 had more power. But i do get better runtime out of them than the JP pipes, but they are still very good pipes no dought. The JP pipes and the JP3 mainley have a chamber design that doesnt have the preasure return that most pipes have, meaning that not as much fuel is returned to the cylender after exaust has entered the pipe, it pulls fuel from it instead of returning it= less runtime, when you go from a JP3 to a 86, you have to lean it out so much 1 being the 86 is a bit shorter, and 2 it pushes more fuel to the cylinder, allowing you to lean it out and produce top end power in a nut shell, the 86 will smooth out the bottom and make it more linier or softer and gain topend, the JP3 has more grunt on the bottom compared to the 86, but back to back runs have shown me the 86 has more top, and for my engines better runtime, 10.30 out of a PTM 5 port turbo with a 086 and 9.45 with the JP4

But the bottom line is he has a .25 6 port, IMHO he doesn't need a pipe that makes more bottom, something to keep it smooth and under controll with some added top and runtime, but this is just the way i like the feel of my engines to be, I'm faster on our outdoor track with smoother bottom. Just my 2 cents

also might add if your only running 210 i can see why it didn't get better runtime and that no power feel, put it at 240 250 and tou will toss the jp1, first reason being you will not be able to controll it WAY to much bottom, i run the same fuel you do, so we both now the tilted makes good power, but get it to those temps and it will blow you away, thats why i run the 86:nod:

I've been running the five port for two months now. I took it to Silver State and ran it in the truggy and the buggy. Since then, I've been running it hard everyweekend. I'm using the Dynamite .053 pipe and the p3 turbo plug. Today at Leisure Hours indoor track, I ran it in my buggy and got eight minutes of runtime running at 200 degrees. I'm using the 7mm restrictor. Right now, I'm at the two gallon mark on this engine. It still has good pinch. I'm very happy.

MUGENB46

should I use the restricter the .25 came with while break in? And can you give me a break down a restricter sizes and what they do? Thanks for all the help:blush:
