You might try leaning the LSN some more. The 5 Ports do like a lean bottom. I run the 5 Port Turbo (and standard plug sometimes) with a Dynamite 086 and it is great. HSN is pretty much flush with barrel but LSN is in a fair way. 6 min heats leave me with 1/3 of a tank still remaining, so will run 8 min no problems. Temping at 240 - 245 at bottom of tank. Hope this helps.

Brian Carey, you have PM

I seen a couple pages back the go carb restricters. I didn't find where to buy them at, and haven't seen them anywhere I know to look. Thanks for any info.

He is Rex, he had them a few weeks ago

Well I am getting ready to put a new con rod in my 5 port. I have only changed 1 before. Any suggestions? WHich order should parts come out. I have heard it can be difficult with these and dont wanna jack it.

slaytanic,

Page 55 of Go Tech engines, has a tool to remove rod

Which GO Tech motor would be a good pairing for a JP-3 pipe on a jammin X1 CR buggy?

3 port and 5 port turbo:nod:

It's not too hard once you have a coupe of gallons on the motor, but can be tricky if the wrist pin and con rod top end are still new and tight (hence the tool mentioned), but you shouldn't need that if your motor is run in some.

Take backplate off

Take cooling head and button off

Remove sleeve from crankcase. There are several methods. I find using a plastic tie through the exhaust port then using the piston to gently nudge the sleeve upwards works. Depending how much movement you get you may need to push the sleeve up from underneath by getting a plastic stick, or an ice block stick (nothing metal !!) and pushing on the bottom of the sleeve from through the backplate area.
Once the sleeve is up far enough, prise it out carefully with a screw driver under the lip.

Now the piston is free enough to slide the con rod over to one side and pop the bottom end of the crankshaft. Lift out piston and rod.
Note that the piston skirt is to the rear, and the grooved side of the con rod with the oil gallery holes is to the front of the motor. "Very important these go back in the same way".

Pop the G clip and remove the wrist pin and con rod. Fit your new rod with a bit of afterun oil on the wrist pin, then re-install the G clip.
I like to dunk the internal parts in some fuel before re-assembly to clean of any grit that may have got on them and to lube them up a little.
Put the piston back in to the crankcase and slide the con rod over to one side so you can fit it back onto the crank. You wil need to do this at TDC so you get enough sidways movement in the rod to fit it on.
When you have the rod back on, place the piston at BDC and slide the sleeve back in, carefully fitting the piston back into the bottom of the sleeve as you go.
Reassemble button and cooling head. Then fit backplate with some RTV sealant around the edges for a good airtight seal and your done.
Run a couple of easy, slightly rich tanks through to bed the new rod in then give it heaps :D

5 port with turbo plug?

I posted a while back about my problem with the carb moving slightly without being able to turn or anything.
I would like to ask you though, because i don't want to "touch" it now, if there is even the slightest risk of it coming off or creating a leak.
I do have silicone on the carb neck but don't know if that will hold it if it comes loose!!

I think your pretty safe vti-chris. I ran mine like that for quite a while and it stayed in place fine, no leaks either.
I am going to replace that bottom O Ring on mine in the next couple of days.
Will grind down the pinch bolt as suggested and see how it goes. Will let you know if that fixes the side movement problem :cool:

go 21 3R
 

i have been reading some suggestion & COMMENTS about this go 3R,the recommended pipe is 2047 i checked a main & its really surpise me on the price ,my question is what other pipe will match the 3R ,CAUSE RIGHT NOW i got the ttr2035 & 053,i will be running on a new layout,its a bigger track this time , i would say its technical of course w/140ft straight ............honestly i'm excited on the new track ........so i decide to get this GO 3R , some peeps saying it has (smooth powerband)like vspec

os pipes work well with the 3 port, i run a 086 with mine and it rocks, the 2050 is strong on it also. The JP3 really helps the bottom if you like it more bunchy, i have yet to try the 2035, but i have heard good things about it, they really wake the v spec up.

Borik, yes the 5 port turbo, it doesn't play well with others:sneaky:
