hi there the circlips that hold the pin that holds the piston on the conrod fell out and totaled my go 5 port! its a generation 2 type and im wondering if this is a comonfault or it has been rectified with the gen 5 versions.i hadnt relaced the conrod or anything this motor is also standard with a turbo button
cheers in advance

Anyone tried the AE factory team pipe and header on the 7 port? I know the 7 port calls for a midrange pipe and the 2035 has that look at the end and I always wanted to try 1. And for some reason that new trinity "bat" pipe has been calling my PTM 5 port LOL. Its said it works on any mill, I am going to be patient and try to see if someone got 1 and will let me run a few laps with it 1st but we will see.

Bummer !! :( This does happen occasionaly. Same thing happened to my 7 Port last year. I don't think it is any more prevelant in the GO motors than any other brand. Just dam bad luck :mad:
Sometimes the G clips just break, and sometimes they can compress at very high revs I believe and pop out of the grooves, usually when they get old, which might be the case with your Gen 2 motor.

Hey Malik, have you tried the 2047 pipe and 0801 header combo on your 7 Port yet ? Be keen to hear your thoughts.

Yes, The Team Associated 2035 pipe should be fine on the 7port. Very similar feel as the 053 pipe.

I have a 5 port and a 7 port. OK so the 086 is a good choice for the 5 port, which would be best suited for the 7 port? The 053?

Just for the record... the Thunder Tiger 2035 is the same pipe as well, cheaper by the TT name I believe. I ran the 2035 on my 3-port this past weekend, fuel economy was good and the engine had great top end.

Im needing an engine for my st-rr for racing.. Im looking for a smooth engine and i want to be consistent, nothing over powerful and i want to learn how to drive.. Im coming form a rtr AE .28 so i guess im still learning how to drive and i only raced once with it...What do you guys think?

malik 03-08-2009 12:17 PM

Grizz I dont have 1 yet I may get 1 from a freind of mine to use as a back up or for club races. I really want a 3 but I wont buy a used mill off anyone and the guy who has this 7 port is 1 of the only guys I would buy from. I think if I do get it I am going to try the AE or TTR pipe, if not an 053 or the 2047. I dont have the 0801 anymore i had the old model with the flimsy stinger.

If you really want to learn to drive a 3 port sport will teach you to run proper fast line, you wont make the jumps if you dont lol.

Seriously I ran with a 3 port sport and it was the fastest i have ran, sadly the engine wasnt to happy with me and self destructed itself about twenty minutes in.

j_blaze14 03-08-2009 03:28 PM

the 053 is the best pipe i have tried...

The 25 it has better fuel economy than the 28.
Go for the 28 if you want raw power and dont mind about the fuel economy.
