Thanks Daniz24. Seems that all of HK online shops are out of stock.

Paris turbo ring
 

I fitted a paris turbo ring pipe to my NSR 5 port today and went like a pig.
Does this pipe have too much back pressure ???
Engine coughed and spluttered no matter what carb settings.
Whats up?????

rb block fit jp racing?
 

would anyone know or ever tried fitting a jp racing piston and sleeve & crankshaft into an rb concept rody x12??? i cracked open my jp racing rs-12 last sunday and i have a bnew spare rb engine block... i'm trying to look for a jp engine block or just the regular novarossi rs-12 block but luck seems to hide from me. they look the same but i'm worried the timing might change. pls help. PM me if anyone would know if it would fit.

Re: rb block fit jp racing?
 

If you're referring to the RB X12, it uses the older crankshaft which is 11 mm. The JP RS-12 also uses the same 11 mm crankshaft. They should work and everything including the piston, sleeve and conrod should fit nicely too.

need help on factory settings on the needles for the nsr12s3, running at sea level, 30 nitro, 12 oil, and 30 celsius. anyone

All carburetors are factory set on a flow bench. For this reason it is recommended that you count the number of turns on the low and high end needles before you use the engine. All carbs are not the same, but are set to flow the same amount of air and fuel. Up to a one half turn difference can be had on factory carburetor settings on each needle. A two micron difference in the needle taper can make the setting up to 1/2 turn different from another carb. It is also not recommended not to adjust the mid-range needle setting on until you are completely comfortable with carburetor adjustment.
How big is a micron? There are 25,400 microns in one inch. This dot (.) is approximately 1/64 of an inch wide and equals 615 microns. It doesn't take much to off set a needle setting.

Novarossi (General Base Carb Settings)
Low Speed: 3.25 turns out
High Speed: 4.75 turns out
Mid-Range: Flush with the carb body

need advice
 

hi...i'm having this novarossi s5 for about at least 50 hours of run time already....the last time i ran it was in a 45 min main and still goin strong with no overheating or whatever.

well..just got the feeling its a bit "old" and need to be sure the next race in future i'm havin a reliable engine......so i need your guys advice or comment whether to just replace piston/sleeve or get a new engine....:tire: :tire: thanks:)

i did read somewhere and been practising it.....
low needle from flush 3-31/2 turns inward,
main needle from full close..open 4 turns,
back needle...don't touch;)
idle screw 1-2mm open...and from there u can fine tune

hope this helps:spidey:

Re: need advice
 

Why not buy a new piston,sleeve and conrod and run the engine as it is until it gives up,then replace with the new parts and put on another 50 plus hours.
Good luck
