Casey yea i always have time to talk...the ninja is a very nice engine, but you can get the same or more performance with the Go for a much lower price...i have a stock 28-6 and 21-7 and i just had a 21-5 modded, all my Go engines are turbos except for the .18...

Vti-chris the Go and Hong Nor 2047 pipes are identical as far as powerband, Hong Nor makes the Go pipe for Go but I don't know if the Hong Nor pipe features the 45* pressure nipple as well as the side mount screw for the stinger support.

Genreaper that is definately a pipe issue, on the dyno with the same pipe the go 5port puts out more bottom end and the v-spec pulls it slightly at the top.

Grizz1 that is unusual because the turbo button usually makes the engines run a little cooler. it may have just been difference in weather from the last time you drove, but I am glad your liking the added power, i think the turbo is a must in truggy on the .21's

hey grizz

hows the testing with the 2047 I lent you going, don't worry about the temps to much as my 7pt turbo runs at about 120-130 no problem also it maybe that your engine is still a little tight mine took about 7 ltrs to really open up

Maybe so, but dont forget ive modded my Go Tech and even against other buggies running V-Spec engines at my local track i would say the Go Tech still has more top end than OS motors that run at my local track with various other pipes. Ive run down many cars that are BIG Dollar engine with the Go Tech, great motor, hey maybe ill try a few pipe combos out soon, but from what ive seen the Go Tech craps on most motors ive run against in terms of top end, its IMO even faster than the 7 port version, maybe its just my pro mod work :]
V-Spec is still stock, but that may change soon too.

Not to discredit your findings, but coming from an Ex Drag Racing Scene, the amount of times ive heard the word "Dyno" and actual on track performance i always take it with a pinch of salt.

Here is two videos of the motors on the same track, sure one is a hyper 8 pro with the Go Tech and a 14 tooth clutch bell, and the other is a MBX5R with OS and 13 tooth clutch bell but you tell me the OS has less power out of corners, I beg to differ. Yeah i crashed the Hyper 8 just before the main straight and got a lean bog coming along the main straight but its got more top end than a OS believe me.

http://www.zone3adelaide.com/rcmovie...0round%203.wmv = 18 meg Yellow and Red car. Day time footage was actualy a Nosram motor, i put the Go Tech in for Night Racing.

That is NOT my local track either, but ill tell you what ill do, ill put the OS in for a meeting and then next meet ill try the Go Tech and we will see what the results are. Im gonna be trying a JP-1 and maybe a Jp-3 early next season, with the OS but i may buy another pipe, whatever is reccomended with the Go Tech and give it another run, but as it stands atm the Go Tech is now in the Tool box as a spare cause it lack the bottom end power that the OS seems to put out. Bear in mind the OS is very new and not fully loosened up either.

Sorry if i sound like a sarcastic prick but i know what i know.

Gen to each there own...the Vspec is a great engine also, but i just prefer my Go 5port over either of my Vspecs EB or stock...

i see that you have JP-1 listed in your sig...is this the pipe your running on your Go engine???

I run my GO 3 port sport against V-Specs all the time on a 110' straight. There are now guys with V-Specs, modded RB WS7II's and Ninja motors buying GO 3 and 5 ports around here. That makes me very happy.

Genreaper tell us you've not tried an 053 or 086 pipe on the Go yet.

lol if you want major bottom end try a 007 pipe!!!!!!!!!!!!

No that will be for the V-Spec in the new year.
Then i may buy a JP-3 but i dont like the sounds of run time with that pipe.

I run a Hyper 8 Pro pipe "dual Chamber" with the Go Tech as i said before and it screams with it. Great run time too.

Same pipe as whats on my old car in the link - http://www.users.on.net/~danzig/Picture%20064.jpg

Genreaper I agree with you that dyno's are not the end all. I noticed your comparison has two different cars geared differently, I think it would be interesting to see if you swapped engines between the cars and switched the gearing so the mugen was Go powered with a 13 tooth and ho bao was o.s. powered with a 14 tooth.

It may have just been the mod work.

I ran my 5port with a Jp-2 for a long time and thought it scresmed, but then I ran one with a 086 and it was so much better thruought the powerband

Jason-do you think I should get a mid range or top end pipe with the .18? I'm up in the air...can get the THS 1046 for cheaper but...for some reason I think I'll be up in the rpm's for the majority of the time just like I am with the 2.5R so...perhaps I'll want the THS 146C instead. Let me know what you think.

i really like the Jammin JP-.5 pipe on my revo with the .18, but for better low end the CRT.5 stock pipe work very well also...however if you do not want a side pipe the OS pipe is really nice...i do not have any experience with the THS pipe...

Well I guess I'll find out how I like the THS exhaust in comparison to the stock Revo exhaust pipe. I guess I'm sticking with a rear exhaust...the JP5 looks nice but I don't feel like spending that kind of money.

I'm going to be getting a .21 for my buggy some people say that a 3 port is good and some say the 5 port im a rookie still what suggestions do you guys think is the 3 port good for a buggy or shoulsd i get the 5 port HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

either will do just fine...if your in a big hurry get the 5port and if you have a bit of time to see what the 3port does im sure that it will be worth the wait...
