im looking into getting a TecnoPower B01T-21 .21 5-Port Off Road Competition Engine Combo w/Hipex 2034 Tuned Pipe (Turbo) from amainhobbies. is this the correct choice for a buggy? and what is the piston rod and sleeve part number? is it the TPM0104001-01? thank you

Yes, the B01T combo is a good choice for Buggy racing. As for the TPM0104001-01, yes this is the correct item for this engine.

Hey if anyones got a good answer I just picked up a B01i-21 and T01-23 engines from amain. I saw them run from a couple people last year and when I saw this discount for them I couldn't resist(prolly would have bought them anyways). With discount at $127.50 shipped per motor it was a no brainer for some top quality mills for the upcoming season. Wondering on suggestions from you guys which of my pipes should use I have a nova 9901 & 2084, dyn 086 & 053, and an RE-10. What for the .23 on truggy and what for the .21 on buggy? Also what are good starting points with the restrictors? I am running some pretty light mugens. I am a fan of high milage and smooth power, I dont like to just rip the guts out of everything. Thanks for any help.

Can you use Odonnell plugs on these Tecno engines?

The 053 (Nova 9853 clone) will make a good combo with the B01. Makes good power and run time. If you want a smooth feel and best run times I would look for an 2053 pipe tho (GRP)

Sure can, I'm using a 97T in my B03 with 25% - goes well! I guess it depends a lot on fuel and climate though.

new mill came today :nod::nod: cant wait to break it in ..

my carbon mugen is down to 3.1kgs(minus body) and with this .23 TP mill and 16tooth bell its gunna be a speed WEAPON :lol: .. cant wait to test it .. my goal weight is to get it under 3kgs ... im on my way.

That thing is pretty cool. Try running some lighter wheels and tires. Try the Sweep six-pack wheels and their tires, should save you at least 50g. The brand you are running now is pretty heavy.

cheers mate :) ..


yeah there are still a good handfull of things to ligth'n and get the weight down even more . i cop'd alot of slack for the screws that hung down in the chassis when i first finsihed the car , they are now all TI-button heads and im working round the car swaping out the other screws to TI . things like the bulky on/off switch and things like that will go . .anyways befor the TP mill it was sirio sm21 powerd and was a handfull to say the least to drive, so im guessin the .23 now matched to that nova pipe will be fun lol hahaha gunna be a tire shredderrrrrrrrr ... :lol:

thank you. what is the part number for just the conrod? and where can i find them?

lastly what brand glow plugs are compatible?

Conrods part# 0104002-01 normally you should be able to find them at AMain

Glowplugs, O.S. or O'Donnell glwoplugs are compatible too

amain is all out of conrod part# 0104002-01 any body have any ideas where i can find one? is there another rod i can pirate into a bo-1?

grp
 

Hi, Rody(TP). Can I put the .23 p/s/c(tpm0104001-03) and the .23 combustion chamber in my .21 grp tuned to make it a .23 engine? Thanks in advance.

If the sleeve of your engine has a diameter of 19.50mm then yes.

Ok I just picked up the B01i from AMain, I think they only have 4 left. I like smooth engines so hopefully this is something like that.

Question, has anyone had any experience with Odonnell 77T glow plugs and the EFRA 2072 pipe on this engine?

Thanks!

Here you can find the manual of this type of engines, http://tecnopower-motor.com/images/s...structions.pdf

The the base settiongs to start from are High Speed Needle = 5 turns from closed and the Low Speed needle = 6 turns from closed.
Be aware that when you close the LSN you have the carburetor completely open so you do not widen the spraybar inside of the carburetor.

Hope this will be of some help.

I see the company has finnished producing engines but i am after any info on where to get me some more connecting rods.........any help would be good.

The company that made them should still produce them as they would sell for years to come. Great engines right back to the grp line.

Well engine is broken in and loving the powerband, tried both the 2053 and 2072 pipes back to back and I preffer the powerband feel on the 2072, not to mention that it wakes up the bottom insanely. Using 77T glow plugs, didn't get a chance to check run time but seems to be at least 9+. Very happy with it.

shame you guys at TP engines arent doing well... sure looks like a great mill and much potential..

safe to say that the reason for you closing doors is that you were not reaching sufficient sale numbers... to even out investment costs or?

Yes, unfortunately not enough sales to even out the costs of producing these engines...

well i hope you do well in future ventures and that you can work somthing new out that will be quality as well as not as costly, i did see that your engine has been sold for 580AUD and unfortunatly that wont sell as well as it may have 3-4years ago ...

its a buyers market and with other asian brands in the market one that has been around for years before the others ,GO engines with prices as affordable as 250AUD for moded race engines such as the MM MG66 , and other new model GXII for 209....

id say that around the 300-350 mark is the peak selling point... if your not a novarossi or RB then you dont have the leverage/reputation which helps sell the engine even when its more than the cheaper alternative..

wishing the best.

mabe make a come back... ;)

manifold
 

hi. the manifold (192) that goes with the 2034 and 2069 pipes, is the same or different from speed(82) and torque(89) manifold.

Im not for sure, if you are familiar without the RB engines, Rody worked with them for a long time, RB had a header that was 192, looked the same as the Tecnopower, that's what I think its close to, or if not the same.

The manifolds supplied with the 2034/2069 pipe sets are the of the speed(82) type.

thanks for clarification. i was thinking u had to get the pipe sets and get the speed and torque manifold to cover the bases. thank you.

In general the pipe sets which are sold have the correct manifold, only of you are looking for more torque you could try and use a longer manifold, or simply change gear-ration to arrive at a similar result.

rody, i have tecnopower b01, t01, b02t and t02t. i didn t get the 2069/2034 pipes because i thought they were simmilar to grp fls pipes(2053) which i have two of them. now im thinking if i should buy a set of either 2069/2034 pipe sets or both, and also a pair of the torque manifold. thanks for all the help.

I never had the chance to try the 2053 pipe on the TecnoPower engine but I think there should be no problem using the grp fls pipes on our engines. I suggest you simply try.

alright then.

anyone try the grp 2053 pipes on tecnopower engines? how is it compare to 2069 or 2034?

yes i have, its lacks mid and top end power ,
switch to the 2069 and it was astonishing the difference
so much more power and still great fuel economy ..

dont waste your time with a grp pipe, in fact find a hammer and beat
that pipe to pulp ...

Seems like REDS is using the 2034 and 2069 HIPEX pipes aswell.

They list the 2069 as the performance pipe and the 2034 as the more fuel efficient pipe.

Would it be safe to say the 2034 is a low end pipe and the 2069 a top end pipe?

Btw, since REDS is Picco made it is a good possibility these pipes are good on Picco engines aswell.

ok thanks,

i thought read somewhere 2069 is low end pipe, 2034 mid/ high end pipe.
my local track is medium size/traction mix of long straight, sweeping/tight/off camber turns, medium jumps.
anyway maybe i should get both pipes. thanks

Just looked at the web site for parts listing, I was looking at a new under head button for the 1st edition B01 Tecnopower .21 engine. The price is showing part number 0102001-V1, priced at 16,75 €, about $21.64 USD, with shipping and handling it would cost me about, $52.65. Twice as much as the part??? Is the correct pricing?

Tony, I have a Technopower account. ;) That part is not listed on the USA distributors website. See if the 102002 will fit. Its on clearance

It will fit, but, its the same thing that is already on there. This is the post I got from them awhile back for better improvement from original.
I think you will obtain better results with the V1 combustion chamber part#0102001-V1 it comes with a H6 turbo glowplug
On the B01 I suggest you try this chamber with 0.3mm of headshims and 25-30% nitrofuel.
