It was a PICCO pipe, brand new one. Never seen it before. But it looked like 2053, he was kinda blocking it a bit. I tried talking to him but he was a bit skeptical.

Cheers for the info, Hope this engine puts out as the hype is quite high. Plus Picco being hard to get in the first place......

hmm he might have to I've had good luck with picco's they make absurd power and they ran cool 2. I was always shocked when I took them apart well lubed and clean no nasty carbon build up

I really like my JPX. 21's. Both are running strong. I run mine with an RE10 LOSI pipe. Ballistic.

He did say good things about the PICCO brand, but was skeptical about saying anything else on the BOOST itself. All he say was; is a 3 port with a BOOST CHAMBER. That was pretty much it. He was bench tuning it with a P3 plug.

Why on earth is he running OS plugs on a Picco? They don't have the right taper for the engine.

The Picco Boost does NOT have a boost chamber. A boost chamber looks like this. I think it has a boost port like the RB shark 9

Like I wrote what he said. Read my comment. It is not a comment I made, but one he made.

Not the same companies but very closely related.

Owner of Nitrohouse has a stakeholding in Ofna ;)

a picco i have has three small boost port holes below the exhaust port. Is that what they are talking about? or is the boost port molded directly in the crankcase?

-R2- 04-25-2010 10:43 AM

The Boost is only a name like out Max motor and the JL, no side bottles or block fittings on the side of the case like the first Piccos back in the day, they will come soon I just don't how many will come yet.

Are these engine available to the public or only selected drivers at the moment.

mechanic77 04-26-2010 08:20 AM

So R2, when you say they are coming soon, how soon are we talking? Weeks or months? I'm in the market for a new engine, and I've had great luck with my Picco's and want to try a new one.

I'll need to found out how soon it will be, I like the engine myself.
