AB Mods Racing Engines
 

Well I am finally putting up a thread about my company. Im usually pretty quite and set back but I think its time for a thread for those that may not know about AB Mods. This thread is also for those of you that already have my modified mills as I have done A LOT of engines all over the world over the years and quit a bit for members of this forum alone. I modify engines for Racers AND Bashers, On Road and Off Road. Also over the past year or so I have got into the world of ISC World Speed Challenge Racing and have had GREAT success and A LOT of fun in the process! My Team Driver Gary O'Conner has taken the win at the past 2 ISC Events using my modified engines and I couldnt be more happy about that. :nod:

So feel free to come on in and discuss anything you wish about my engines and all engines in general and I will do my best to help you out as always.

I think this will be a good place to come and gather to discuss all the information instead of it being spread all around the forum and hard to find. So feel free to check out my website and look around. I have some dyno sheets up on the site so you can all see some before and after dyno data from my engines as well as my Estore and Media/Magazine coverage that I have got in the past few years. I look forward to your posts and as I always say... Lets get the ball rolling!!

I have always been more than happy with your engines Adam, used them for bashing and for top speed runs, and i had a LOT of top speed gain once you modified them, thx !


And i do plan to have another nitro engine from you for the next ISC challenge. :D

Ive ran adams engines for years. Im local to him and one of his friends. Ive seen him dyno engines with my own eyes before and after. Great guy, excellet customer support. He really knows his way around these engines.

AB Mods does all of Z-CarUSA's modding work.
Every engine he has done for us has been excellent.
Great guy and great work.

Engines
 

What type of mill do you do on a OS worlds II engines and what type of performace improvments have you seen along with fuel consumption. You've modded my .26 red dot for my revo it screamed and actually smacked MOST 28s on the track power was sick.

If you are heat racing with the engine i always suggest the Race Modification. Just get with me and LMK what your wanting out of the engine and i can tailor it to fit your needs. :nod:

Adam,

A few months ago I bought your used Ninja JX. I couldn't be more pleased !!!! I have since put about 4 more gallons on this motor. Since running this modded JX over my stock one, I have been TQ twice in our Colorado state nitro points series, I won the Colorado State open truggy Championship race, and this weekend, completed and Won the Colorado state nitro points series, as well as a Fusion Motorsports motor sponsorship. Looks like I will be soon retiring my ninjas and O.S. motors for Nova's.

I do have to note, most people in Colorado run the V-spec or ninja, more ninjas as of right now. But many often comment on how powerful my AB modded JX motor is over theirs. Job well done

My AB Modded 2009 SH Pro Ceramic piston .21 on 20% nitro was blasting by other buggys running on 30% with engines costing almost twice as much!

I have just ordered one of Adams modded ninjas, so the above is music to my ears.
I must say Adam is very helpful and seems to be very customer focused.

I couldn't be more pleased to hear this! :blush: Congrats to you my friend and well deserved!!

Paul that's how its done bro. :nod: Just goes to show you don't have to have a 500$ engine to win and be competitive out there!

The kind words are much appreciated NZ.

Rest assure you wont be disappointed as you are getting the same engine and modification Unsober1 has. My Modified JX .21s have proven themselves time and time again out on the track. :nod:

Wow, congratulations man. :tire:

Hi, Gary O here...I'm new to this board but not to rc (20+ years) About two years ago I got into speed running and I was instantly hooked. It's like 'salt fever' without the salt. We work on our cars all year for those few runs down our Bonneville Salt Flats...this year, Fontana Dragway.

I had been running two cars, a four engine Open Class streamliner and a small block NTC3. The four engine car ran Picco P9r's but my NTC3 was running an old Sirio .12. I knew I needed more power and ABMods was recommended. I discussed my issues with Adam and he recommended that I change over to a JLR.12, modded by him. I put the engine in the car and the difference was noticeable. At the speed meet at Rockingham I was put in the same class as the Schumaker big block car(,28, more than double my displacement) At the end of the day I had won the class and established the record by .05mph!!!!! (78.69 vs. 78.65) I can't post pics yet but will when I can.

This year we will be returning to the speed meet with new cars and engines. The small block car is now wrapped in a Corvette body and powered by an ABModded OS 18, 50% more displacement and some gearing work to let it breathe....I'm thinking 90-ish. The open car is a twin engine (ABModded Picco P9R's) streamliner which is geared for 125mph. After discussing a 'wall' the car couldn't get through with Adam, I lengthened the pipes and it was a screamer! It was at about 90 on my test site and was really pulling hard. I'm optimistic that the current unofficial mark of 103 is toast.

I also ran a velodrome event posting a small block record of 56.76 mph...there's more there with some chassis work but it's still a record

I'll keep y'all posted on the November meet!

Thanks guys !!!!

Adam, I look forward to hearing / working with you next season for my modification needs

I look forward to it as well Bob. BTW your AB Mods T-shirt should be to you by the end of next week hopfully before your next race. :nod:

NZ_Basher your JX .21 is shipped and on its way to you. :nod:

:tire::tire: :nod::nod: :tire::tire:

Right on !!!!

I talked to AB Mods on the phone today. He said he got a JX21 that is a little different. A full report later on hopefully from Master Blevins.

This sound very appealling...

To bad the race season is nearly over for me

Just a darker color on the head is all it is basically. Same GREAT engine. :tire:

I thought that gray head kinda slowed down the motor a bit too.....

LOL

Awesome, Thanks

Run his Sh modded Mills...WOW....:batman:

Spent this morning breaking in my .18 for Fontana. About 4 million laps up and down the road in front of my office at very moderate speed. I ran about 5 tanks through it with a sock and some tape on the head and then went and got some lunch. Then I ran 5 more tanks through it for another 4 million laps....I hope that's enough!

Even at VERY light throttle it's obvious this little demon has a bunch of power. I'll have the body on for this weekend and will hopefully come away with an idea of this engines potential

Three ABMods engines, hopefully three world records.

Hi there Adam

I ran your prepped ToroNero for the first time yesterday (dropped in the car for its maiden run in a race with 80 drivers). It was superb, if only a bit too strong at low range for my throttle finger, I then put a 6.5mm restrictor on it and it was marginally less grunty and way more adapted to my average skills. I also dropped a nova C6T plug into it as these are plugs I'm familiar with (as opposed to odo's) and I couldn't run that risk on raceday.

I was directly qualified to the semi (6th time), and went up from 13/46 to 14/46 as the track was becoming very dry and dusty (slippery) for my semi as the day went on. It was still fantastic, and I was going to be bumped to the main until my mechanics messed up and poured way too much fuel on the pipe and refuel time - the thermal shock stalled the engine, which then took 5 times to restart and not stall again... no main for me.

The motor is outstanding - thanks again for the superb work,

Regards,
Paul

I'm VERY glad to hear your happy with the engine Paul! The bottom end is one of the things I address when modifying the Toro Nero as it is well known to not have the bottom everyone wants or expects it to have in stock form. These engines really are top notch Racing Engines and IMO don't get the credit they deserve.... Especially after a few touches in the "right" spots :)

Good luck at your next race!

Run it until the metal pinch is gone "or at least VERY minimal when cool" and its all compression. Only then will it be at its "peak" performance :nod:

And you bringing home "another" World Record with my engines would be a very nice bonus. 3 more World Records would be icing on the cake!! :D

World Records !!!!!!


Very nice :nod:

Yes thats correct, "World Records" :nod:

BTW your AB Mods Team Driver T-shirt will be at your doorstep by Thursday. So you will have it in time for your next race this Friday. :)

:) sportin' the BLING !!!!

I have a tuned .21 GRP that ate a glow plug coil. Do you have any interest in a franken mod of some sort to squeeze a backup motor from it? P/S is toast and the rod needs a look over by a pro. Anyway, if something can be done reasonable, i'll try it out, if not and one of our modders want it they can have it in hopes I can save some pennies on my next mill. I am throwing this out to all of you modders. Sorry if I am wasting your time.

It would be best to try and find some new parts for the engine if you can find them and I can fix and mod the engine right up for you :nod:

If you can't find any parts for the tuned version and want a GRP engine i still have a new GRP non tuned available with a Race Modification. I can get it to you for a good price. Shoot me a PM if interested in working anything out. :tire:

If anyone wants the "Modified" GRP .21 Non Tuned version I have here its NIB for 325$ shipped to the US.

Have a Special going on JX .21 Race Modification and break-in 425$ shipped to the US. Only 1 available for the special offer get it while you can! :tire:

JX .21 gone. :nod:

Wow thats an excellent deal, didn't take long for that to disappear.

BTW, I got the shirt today !!!!:)

wheres the pics?

Pics ???

of what ???

I just got home

New Pricing!!
 

Since the economy is bad and everyone is low on $ i have decided to lower my prices to help everyone out. New prices are 85$ for Race Modification and 125$ for Drag Modification. These prices also include shipping to the US!!

I will also be running specials from time to time as well, so look out for them and catch them while you can... As from time to time i throw up some CRAZY steals/deals!! :nod:
