Turbo Head Button comes standard with the JL EVO 3 .12 engines.

awsome thanks for that, i live in Toowomba Australia which only has 1 LHS and it is mainly for planes but does carry a range of plugs, it only has OS and real maccoy or OS and Odonnel. not sure and i was just wondering which would be the best plug for 16% nitro (max we can run i think) and which brand would be best used OS or the other 2. Atm i got a Os TG for my MTX4 and to run it in u use a A3 plug do u need to a specific plug to run it in or a recomended plug for running in. This will be my first Pro Tourer engine and didn't wont to stuff it up.

Thanks Mitchell

I would start out with OS P6 or P7. Wrap the head in aluminium folium to get the temp up at idle, run the engine for 5 mins at idle, cool it off and then start it up again. Run 3-4 tanks at idle, then go on the track and run some 2-3 tanks more at rich setting, after that you are ready to race.

Just run it in and race with the Picco #6 plug (you can order from Sam when and if you buy from him), if you PM ItchyB (Joe) he can tell you where you can get the IDM #6 plug in Sydney and they should be able to post them to you, i think its from Pap (Harry) on the Moorebank Thread (good value to)

is there a factory needle setting for the tune? mine is way out of tune with the changing of fuel brands so time to start over again!
thanks

for HSN a rich setting the needle is flush with body or the screw is above nipple body
LSN I guess something like 8 turns from closed position

Thanks Jeff i took a guess and went flush as you said on high set and 4 complete 360deg turns from closed on the bottom end and its perfect.
cheers

At what temp are you usually running your JL engines? This was my first weekend with the Tuned version, it was around 115° C after the 5 min qual runs and I was not willing to push it, as the engine was brand new and I was already satisfied with my power. It was the same, when I measured it at the second pitstop in finals (11 minutes in the run), but after running 30 minutes it was already 127°C. The air temperature was around 28°C, Tarmac heated up to 45°C and I was running a OS P8 plug. So what temperatures would be safe for this engine?

mine runs from 230 to 275ish and depending on the weather, and still has a pretty good pinch.

just check for long runs, it tends to go lean on bottom.. I had this problem today, after 15min of hard running ..
I don't know what caused this, but I lost power at hairpin exit. Something like a "hole" in acceleration
Richen LSN about 5/12 turns, problems solved

i have been running 30% rocket science in this engine with no problems- running around 260-285degrees with tons of bottom and top end and 5 mins run time- i just switched to 25% maxys fuel and got the same power and about 5.5 mins run time- i realize that this engine is shimmed for 30% so should i worry about changing anything- keep in mind this engine lost no power during the switch- i dont see a need to take shims out from such a small change but i am unsure-thx
