Satoch I agree with you, you should be able to pit at 7.5min consistantly with these engines. Which is very good economy for a stock engine. I know people who have gone 10min. but it is the exception and not the rule. As far as your run time goes, if you switch to a turbo button you will see about an additional 45 seconds of run time. Which would allow you to pit at 7.5min with the stock restrictor.

Turbo's get great mileage... With Os P3, OD 30%,dynamite 086, 14 tooth gearing in 8T, temping at 245 via exergen I've been getting about 7 minutes racing mileage. My Mugen mbx5r with 13 tooth gets about 8 minutes with same config on pits.

I'm going to order one of the 7 port turbos this week and need a strong reccomendation for a pipe.
I like the JP3 and JP2 but am looking for another pipe to try while my funds permit me to.
Also Russ says to add another .1mm shim. Will the Novarossi shims be ok? I can't find any GO shims and have lots of Nova shims in my selection.
Thanks in advance...

Depends what type of vehicle and what type of track you're running on. I'd a 053 type of pipe for all around power or JP1 for a technical track or a 086 for a smooth big track with long straights. The latest batch of 7 ports come with an extra shim to be added for 30%. I've used RB C6 shims in the past and they fit pretty well. I'd assume shims for other motors with similar bore size should also fit.

I'm getting a 7 port and I'm going to use a Sportwerks 053 and Short "U" header. It's the same as this one from Dynamite but black.

Yeah I preheat mine to over 200F Just make sure the tin foil is keeping the hot air form hitting the plastic carb. You don't want that one getting hot. My 5 port, when brand new, was hard to turn unless you get it over 200F.

Why has the cost of these engines been raised $90? I remember when the 7 port was $209. I got my 5 port for $187.50 shipped to my house from A-Main with a $12.50 coupon. Now the 7 port is $299! At that price I'll just spend another $25 and get an RB WS7III.
I took a chance last year on Go Tech, had good luck so I promoted the things and now I can't afford a replacement. That's crap!
