???

I ran the 97t plug in my B5 after I broke it in then switched to a p3 and really couldnt tell one bit of difference.. I ran the 2050 and also the jp3 and I thought the jp3 was a little better. both had good bottom but the jp3 had a little better top, both had the same mileage. as far as clutch well...thats up to you the motor has a lot of grunt and should be great in truggy.

Nitroluver, what do you expect people to post about this new engine? The engine was released 8 days ago (at least that's when this thread started)!

I didn't expect a full analysis just wondering if any of those items would work.

thanks for your info and help 1fastguy!

NitroLuver, Mo (1fastguy) is spot on as far as the plugs are concerned. We run the P3 and 97T's quite often and they seem to be pretty much interchangeable. So feel free to use the one that is most commonly or economically available in your area. As far as clutches are concerned (and even pipes) it really is a personal preference type of thing but I would probably recommend that you start with something lighter than 1.1's i.e. 1.0's. There is very few things in my opinion that makes a vehicle harder to drive and affect fuel consumption as much as having a clutch that has too late of an engagement. From a set up standpoint you are better off erring on the side of a too soft spring rather than a too heavy one. Also I believe you mentioned that you are in So. Cal, if so and you happen to see Kortz at a track and have some questions or need some tuning help feel free to ask him. He is one of our drivers, uses the same engine and part of his job is to help people out that are using our equipment.

As more people receive the engines (they basically have only been shipping from shops since last friday) I think that you we will start to see a wealth of information appear on here. As you can see this is already starting to become a more technically oriented thread which is going to be quite beneficial to everyone that runs the B5! Thanks guys and please keep the information flowing!

Mo,
Try an 053 pipe yet? I'm planning on getting a B5 soon and hope to have it all broke in and ready for the Race Against Cancer.

Thank you for your input...I do run into Kortz every so often he's a very respectable guy I will talk to him once I get my werks.

Not a problem!

Hey guys i think I'm going to give this engine a try on my sc8. My question is if my flywheel and collet from my pro.28 will work with this engine? Thanks

If anyone on here has a 6 and a 6.5 carb insert for this engine for sell holla at me. I paypal for them asap.

They should bolt (or in the case of the collet, slide) right on.

lockmouth, this is for use in your Trinity Extech engines right? I just want to clarify that so that people do not misinterpret your post and come away with the belief that that you need a 6.0 or 6.5mm carb insert in order to get run time with our B5. Also as mentioned in the PM that I sent you before I'm currently out of stock on 6.0 and 6.5mm reducers but I will be bringing more in mid September.
