oh crap when i messed with the idle i dint remove the restricter now i know why you are supposed to . good info thanks !
il be racing next weekend so i will try that and make sure my clutch is ok too . i am going to get the 53 pipe so i have to retune anyways. here, this one i did good in yesterday in the sportsman truggy class and i told my dad today that my engine wasnt running right.. and he said well you did good why do you want to mess with it and i said it wasnt running right you dont drive it you wouldnt get it. |

The 53 should help wake that engine up a little more for you. With the idle set right, and tuned correctly you will be much happier. It is for the most part a sport engine tho so it will never be super fast so don't try to get too much out of it and kill it.
cool yea i think i can get it tuned better yea i know the s5 wont be super fast but im only club racing and i can catch up with guys with race engines inless i just drive better than them . its fast enough for me for club racing i dont see the point for a race engine. i love it when my dad says you were finishing good the whole day why are you going to mess with the engine well i told him your not the one driving it so you dont get it. |
Glad it's working for ya!! Take care of it and it will last you a long time. I had an S5 for my first buggy engine and it lasted two full seasons and over 15 gallons. It was my first engine so it never had a rod or bearings replaced.. only glow plugs.

i looked at the 53 pipe and its says its a mid range pipe ? im pretty sure the s5 is a mid range engine but my track is fast flowing layout and its a big track .
now about takeing the carb residicter out when you adjust the idle now if im on the track and i have turn the idle down i would have to shut the engine off and take the residicter out to turn it down ? nevermind i looked at the other dynamite like the 007 that is a torque and mid range but i would have to gear up a tooth for te top end. |

053 tuned will work good. You can adjust the idle while engine is running if you had to.
oh ok yea chris on this tread the team driver said to take the restricter out to adjust the idle while im bench tuning it . so on the track if the main and bottom needle is set than while im on the track i can leave the restricter in if i have to make the idle higher or lower ? he gave me a great bench tuning tips. yea im getting the 53 pipe than i was just checking out the other pipes. i was looking at the rb 2045 pipe but no manifold when its $105 :weird: |

You should set the idle with the venturi out while the engine is not running. Through if you had to adjust the idle while engine is running you can.
ok got you. |
Ya man, set the idle gap at home away from any dust. You only set that idle gap as a starting point, but you really should not have to move it much. Use the LSN to keep it running on the bench. Just follow what I posted and you will have it set very close. Chances are your going to have to lean the LSN a lot tho as you were most likely very rich to compensate for the high idle gap.

ok cool yea it was running rich on the low end because of the idle being to high but it dint flame out with the #77 plug it did keep on running. |
Pipe and number
Hi. Are all pipes rated the same?? Is an 053 from RB the same
configurations as an 053 from Dynamite? (Not saying Dynamite actually makes one, just used them as a reference name) |
Dynamite does make one and yes there is very little difference between different manufactures pipes performance wise. Some pipes will be thinner and perform better, but not last as long.
|
Answer
Well, I guess what I mean, is there some kind of guidelines that need to be
followed in order for a pipe to be called an 053?? |
RB Pipe
I have a few older pre-2001 pipes and they seem to be really banged up.
My JP-1, and 3 pipes don't seem to be banged up at all. No dimples like the older pipes. Is this because the older pipes are thinner? I have to put water in them seal them up and put them in the freezer to allow the water expanding to ice to push out the bumps. |
The older pipes were much thinner than the newer pipes, they generally will perform a little better being thinner but with all the new stuff always coming out the thicker pipes are making great power too.
