+1, I put ARO on the carb seals and insert seals between runnings to keep the seals from drying out.

How do you guys think the JP1 pipe would do for fuel mileage? Has anybody tried this with the 7mm carb restr.? Also, if I tried it with the 6.5 would this be a good combo?

Flip back 20 or so pages and I think that there are a few pages where people were posting testing results with different pipes. IMO though the JP1 is an ok pipe who's big advantage in the past was that it was built like a brick you know what. Having said that now most pipes are really rugged including our new 2013 and 2057's who's performance characteristics are matched to this engine. I really think that you are not seeing the true potential of the motor if you are not running the pipe. So I guess what I'm saying is if you have the JP1 and it's your only pipe it is obviously going to work, but if you want the max possible performance pair it up later when you get the chance to pick one up with the 2013 or the 2057!

Also forgot to mention that the 7mm restrictor is the stock one that comes with the engine. The 6.5mm will give you about 20 sec. more run time with a slight reduction on top end (compared to the 7mm). Venturi's are a valuable tuning aid and honestly something that most people should have in their pit box or seriously consider adding if they do not. They are a low cost, easy and quick to change, tuning aid.

hey ron just for reference what are the stock needle settings for this motor..its running awesome but just in case i ever get her outa whack

flush on the highspeed, flush on the lowspeed, and like 1.5mm on idle

notice the engine held together ! i like the b5 in fact id prob buy another b5 down the track but will be putting ceramics in it out of the box !!!!

+1 on this! I have had several phone calls with Ron on tuning help and other newbie to nitro questions and was never blown off. Ron is on this thread pretty much 24-7 answering all of our questions. I am a WERKS fan from this point on Getting ready to order another B5 for my new buggy with a 2057 Werks pipe! Ron's the man

pos a rookie would have figured that out , also a little oil on the o-ring would help hehe Hey Alex Im breaking in mine for Porter ,going to the track tomorrow and pound on it . see you in a few days--Roy

No kidding right!! Like a true rookie.... Believe me, I oiled it, pushed it, even talked to it and it wouldn't go in!!!!

See at Porter.

That's what she said.


Anyone else going to the Canadian Indoor Offroad Shootout with a B5 or two? I'll be running them in both buggy and truggy, will be my first race with the B5s. One more month.

Sweet just ordered the 6.0 the 6.5 and the 2057 pipe

Wish they were in yesterday I placed an order yesterday and well another one today to get the pipe and the restrictors.

So for longer run time on the 2057 do I want to the extender to make it long or no extender.

The difference between long and short in runtime is not going to be huge. The major difference is going to be in the power band. Short will shift it upwards giving less bottom end and more top (which may help reduce fuel consumption bit more), running longer will give more bottom and less top (some what closer to the 2013 in performance). Hope this helps!

Ron

Geez Ron your the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is crazy its 12:30 in the morning and your answering our questions.

This is what you call support and service.

Ron go to bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Austin, go to bed

once you get that 2057 and get the b5 the rest of the way broken in, you'll be stealing it from yer kid and giving him your nova... this is my prediction. B5+2057+6mm = 15 minutes if you keep your trigger finger in check.
