Yo, I have not heard anything about a tuned .23 coming but there is a .23 coming for truck. I have been running just the standard .21 the last few weeks and the thing has been running great!!! Worx ran his standard .21 last weekend, and it only had 5 tanks on the bench before practice started. He had zero issues with it and even that new it made great power.

My bad, I read a previous post wrong about the tuned .23...... Well let me know when they are available. Dont know if I can pick up two, as this is a big rebuild year for me. But I will run that in the truggy. I really like the MR BO1 Ninja. I heard that you have the engine running over the weekend.

The stinger reinforcement and likely thicker walls have to be great for offroad...I cannot see how performance would suffer that much. I sure hate to go back to the days of the thin wall Italian pipes. :mad:

Going to give the Tecno a try in my MBX6T.

Thanks,
Scott

The Hipex 2069 is pretty thick, I've yet to dent one. The pipe your speaking of with the onroad header is the same pipe. These are nothing like the old thin 086 or 053, I remember literally running one lap years ago in practice and changing something on the car and the pipe was dented already! Not these :) I have one with 8+ gallons of racing and not a single dent

Thanks for the response, Tony. One of them, I believe HIPEX refers to it as the 'Strada' heavy duty pipe has the reinforced stinger. Here are the pics I borrowed from your distributor site.

Also, I checked your online distributors and nobody has the 2069 on their website. Know anyone who might have one in stock?

I see what your looking at now... sorry

they all have a HD stinger.... the onroad pipe has a gusset. The std pipe is sleeved so its twice as thick as usual. I havent had any issues, and havent heard of others bending the stinger

Noticed the TP manual recommends adding a .10 shim if running 30%. Is this a necessity or just preferred to ease the break-in process?

i did not put a shim in for break in.. it stalled "once" in the galloon or so for break in.. very easy but long break in period... i still have not put the shim in.. engine has slight pinch yet at 1 3/4 gallon.. almost fully ready to run..

I wouldnt add any shims for 30%, I've actually removed the copper shim in some cases at higher elevations without any problems. If you try it check your plug regularly for detonation.

Head clearance should be around .024 with all shims and .021 without the copper..... plenty of clearance for 30%

Thanks folks...I am going to start my break-in on Wednesday after work.

Sounds like the TP break-in resembles that of the older RB's...2 gals before they were truly run in and ready to race tune.

All times are GMT -7. It is currently 02:27 PM.
