Hey Monty
 
How r u doing? One question. Why do people insist on running some new fuel that promises the world, and it always seems to use less oil. Around 8-9 percent usually, then guys burn up engines, not that the fuel is so terrble it's just they aren't experts at tuning and so on, so why do they have to buy into these gimmicks. I insist that fuel needs plenty of oil to work good, burnishing on break in, longevity, and so on. I like 11-14 percent, and currently I'm using Byrons 25% with 11% oil and it moves it out at the track. I did use Power Master 25% and it has 12% oil. Usually the higher oil content fuels have aound 50/50 mix synthetic/ castor, but the lower oil fuels use too much synthetic, and we all know castor oil is important....Wht is your opinion on the subject??????

i will say that a fuel with more oil creates more torque due to the fact there is more oil that fills the crankcase and cylinder creating a higher compression ratio through reducing the cylinder volume , imo ;)

i also will tell you that i know a few secrets about byrons fuels and what they use for oil blends and every mix contains a minimum of 6% castor oil :D

the other lubrication from a well known (#1 in fact) oil maker and is perfectly mixed gallon after gallon after gallon after gallon and cannot be beat for a complete overall package of engine longevity , power , customer service and consistency . there are other fuels that make a little more power but suffer in other depts. ;)

monty

byrons have even got a following from novarossi , dont ask how i know this ;)


and i do not believe some guy in his garage will be able to even come close to the big name companies that have the art down to a science and are perpetually gaining ground on pushing the envelope of high performance fuels .

no names mentioned on the garage fuels but they all know who they are and always try to undercut the top brands ;)

Hey Monty,

second race with your P5XLT = second podium and a trophy :) thanks to you, still ran the P5 with the 3005 pipe and the engine was great. tons of low-end power and screaming high-end. temp was around the 220 during the 45 minutes Amain and no issues at all.

so you got your plus 4 in the truggy and 5 port in the buggy ?

craziness!!:D

whats your overall opinion of the 5 port?

btw , i got a dozen of the 17011 bearings in , 6 left

r1harper 03-07-2010 09:49 PM

Monty..on my 3 port with p5 crank...i am running 086/short header...what re stricter do you like i had a 7 in there but it felt like it was holding it back a bit..gonna try a 7.5 and see if it feels better. thanks

Quick Question Monty,

My N21R has about a 1/2 gallon through it. It runs great, still running a little rich on top. However, sometimes on idle it will be idling fine not too high not to low. Then i give it a light bit of throttle, almost to clear it out and the idle goes down low. I was wondering if maybe the lsn is a bit to rich than when i give it the throttle it loads up with fuel?

Thanks

Hey Monty the tuned P5XLT is looking strong, the +4C is coming along good as well. Still learning these engines, but extremely happy with them. You got a pm also.

ofna 086? 41021 (or similar) header ?

i usually have the guys leave the 8mm in and they still get great mileage

let it low idle for 20sec. , stab the throttle , if it takes off and doesn't die you're close on the lsn , if you get a good puff of smoke for about 6 feet you're even closer , no puff and no hesitation you went too far :D

nova pipe and header..

pickle311 03-09-2010 03:31 PM

Monty, can you please explain to me the differences in the power characteristics of the +4C and the P5XLT? I'm going to order 1 of the 2 from you in the next couple of weeks and I don't know which one would be best. It's going in a truggy if that matters. Wish I could buy both but that's not going to fly.
Thanks

P5xlt "HT" = great bottom end grunt with awesome powerband
Plus4C = smooth bottom with linear feel

Imo the p5 is better suited for a truggy and the plus4 is better suited for buggy :)


You can tune either with a few pipe selections that work very good on novarossi engines that have been posted before . ;)
