how will a skyline plus12 pipe do on this motor?

thats what i used until i could afford the Picco
best one for the budget pipe. but everyone says the Picco pipe are the truth for this motor

you'll be ok with it, that's what i used when i got it then got the picco but only use picco plugs os will get you by for a day but there is a big difference in the plug.but there's a extra one in the box for you

skyline works fine with it, but try the 2607 picco pipe, i ran the skyline for while on the JLR, but ever since i used the 2607, its a whole new engine, complete and massive increase in power, awesome pipe for an awesome engine

where can i get that pipe at?

2607 and 2617 pipes

is the 2617 a good pipe as well?

Yes, the 2617 is a good pipe, By the way the PICCO 2607 pipe have been discontinued, it's obsolete now, there is a new one that came out, which is the PICCO 7353 EFRA 2651, this pipe gives a lot more mid to top end (Picco engines have a lot of bottom) and the manifold of the new 2651 does not stick out and rubs against a sedan body like the old 2607 manifold, these 2651 pipe set does give the JL TUNED, the JL EVO3 as well as the IDM .12 more mid to top end power than the OLD 2607 pipe set.

This might be slighty off topic, but im in the middle of breaking in my JL .12 RD (not the evo) in my CRT.5. Im on my... (8th? tank).. I think its been through 8 tanks.. anyways, the motor is starting show its wild side. I just started to lean it out.. and it has SERIOUS power, and its still running pig rich. Another thing is, the pinch at the top of cylinder is still there... is that normal? Ive had numerous piccos in the past (none that were turbo).. and the pinch would go away after 6 tanks or so. Im taking the engine temp up to 160-170 degrees F. When i shut it off, its a little bit loser, but as soon as it cools, the pinch is super tight.

Should i put more heat in the engine? Ive already been doing 2-3 second 100% throttle runs. Im kind of afraid to lean it out anymore, simply because this thing makes so much damn power, its lifting the fronts off the ground (not good with 4wd). Any ideas?

after reading all the posts here i am getting a red dot. i have ran a os 12 tz for four seasons, my question is will everything from the os engine bolt onto the crank ( ntc3 flywheel, clutch, clutchbell) also will i need a different header, currently running gt2 header. thanks for any help

Everything should transfer to a JL engine without a problem and for exhaust header, you can use the same one, just need a different exhaust gasket (part # 51997)
