Hey guys, I have about 2 gallons through my .21 5 Port Turbo and I can't get more than 6 mins out of a tank, temps are at 250 and don't want to lean it more, are the restrictors the only thing I can do to increase the run time?

clebo3, I've had my .21 5 Port Turbo run at 300 once or twice and that sucker is still tight, I mean, I can turn the flywheel but it's very hard, I think you should be okay.

It just went up There getting smart and realizing that Go's are under priced, especially the 3 sport.

Wow, what pipe are you running? A friend of mine pitted at 10 mins this weekend to make it on two stops in a 30 min main, he almost always gets 11 mins. Temps at the end of the run was 235.

I can get 8 1/2 min on my 5p turbo pretty regularly with the 086 pipe with temps around 240-250.

Hey Guys.

Yeah i have a slight issue with run time... i get 7:55 - 8:05 with my 5pt running a GO2045...

Yet i easily get 9+ with my V-spec and the same pipe...

I sent you an e-mail Derricklong, We've been out of town all weekend racing in round 1 of the Minnesota Nitro series.
Go's are really catching on here! In expert buggy a pair of 7 ports placed 2nd and 5th. All of them ran awesome all weeekend.
In truggy my son who just joined Team Kyosho got second with a Govarossi! (I put a modded Go crank and rod in a Novarossi P5X, ran awesome!)

do you guys think it's the pipe (JP4)?, I also have a JP3 and a Hyper 2059 pipes, I'll give the 2059 a try and see what happens.

Very well could be, I went from a JP-4 to a 2050 (borrowed from TKO's Peter Martin) on my V-spec, and holy cow what a difference, it gained an extra minute and also ran with alot more snap and top end. So far I am not impressed with the JP-4. I am really dissapointed in knowing that I may be looking at $125 for a pipe, but I couldn't believe the difference it made.

Chris went to a 2060 on his 5 port from the 086 and it woke it up as well, but his mileage was about the same.

Mileage depends mostly on "finger" and track layout.
Then comes engine, exhaust, plug,...

well our track has a long straightaway but after that it's all technical and a lot of torque is required because there are a lot of jumps after corners but still, other engines are getting better fuel mileage.

I'll give the 2059 pipe a try this weekend and post the results.
