I currently have the .21 3 port Standard plug Go Tech. However, I dislike the look of the cooling head. It's massive, compaired to the "R" version.

Does anyone know what aftermarket cooling head options are available? Will the "R" version fit the Standard version?


Any Go head or head that fits a Novarossi will fit.


Vti-chris, that carb will work, I would just try the low speed needle first, it's really the only difference.

I too will be putting a RB s5 carb in my PTM 5 port. Are the venturi's the same size as the GO's? I want to order a pack. VTI-chris let me know how the needles feel and all that good stuff when you try it please?

im looking at getting one of these go tech .21 engines i have heard nothing but awesome things about them but currently im running mach 427 in my losi8t but i was wondering will the fiorini clutch system i have on my mach fit on the go tech ? also is there a big difference from the 5 port to the 7 port ? and turbo plug vs standard plug ?

rhino420, I sent you a PM.

thanks for the pm but since i am still new to this forum i cant pm you back so i have to go post a few before i can respond

Rhino, I recommend the 5 port over the 7. Because the 5 has more bottum end power. I just put 1 in my Cen matrix arena FRE and I m still breaking it in and can tell already the power is there. I had it on the rack today just practicing and I am still very rich, I havent had it up to 200 deg yet and it was doing well. You just have to be patient breaking it in.

I'm actually thinking about going with the new .25 but I'm tryn to understand the advantages of it over the 7 port .21 turbo. Any info would be great thanks

My apologies if I confused anyone. Just putting forward my limited experience to try and help out a little. :cool:

:blush:I wasn't having a go at you Grizz it's just there are some people out there at the moment that seem to want to bad mouth go engines and will use any statement they can :(

grizz1 07-12-2008 10:46 PM

No offence taken mate :) It's a shame about people like that, because they don't know what their missing :nod: Are we talking local or just everywhere ??

Did you try that 0801 pipe at Hamilton - any thoughts ?

tagalong_74 07-13-2008 08:32 AM

the .25 may seem to have a bit more bottom end but with the right pipe, the .21 7 port will have just as much and then would be able to pull away on the top end. The .25 is basically one of their two truggy motors. I had a guy yesterday at the track I was racing at laugh at me and my friend because we were running go techs. He had a os speed motor. He didnt say anything after we blew the doors off him down the straight away though. haha these motors rock. I have had no tuning problems or nothing. Minor touches to the needled drop this thing fifteen degrees at a time. Thats what i like to see.

hey guys, can you guys tell me if the go 3 port sport has alot of low end torque,the two tracks i go practice are small and technical.so i really dont need something with alot of top end.my freind is using a v-spec and never get to use full throttle on the straight,but he clears all the jumps.so i was looking for an inexpensive engine with alot of bottom,how realiable are these compare to the 3 port race.and are the sport having needle issues.i would really aprecciate your advice, thank you. i have a budget thats why iam considering the sport only.and where do you recommend for me to do my purchase.ebay or online store,

22Racer 07-13-2008 11:45 AM

I have heard the 3 port sport has awesome bottom end. I have run one but I modded it first to help the top end. As far as reliability it should be just as good as any other Go motor as it uses the same crank, rod, block, etc. The only difference is the head and carb and more standard cuts on the sleeve.
I sell them and so do others on the board here.

Nobody knows if the Go venturi's will fit the RB carbs.
