[B]Hello from France ,

here's some pics of the TR T-spec 2004
- new cranck shaft ( higher exhaust diagrams)
- new machined piston (light and cut)
- new sleeve (for the new piston)

you can also see my personal on the cranck (EFRA legal) and on the carburator.

My motors have the same level than a JP mod or Rody mod with less consumption...

Romuald, how much does a TR T Spec 2004 cost over there??

AFM

the engine is around 225-250 € and is available now in europe.

¡¡¡¡WOW!!! that's between U$ 275.00 - 306.00, man give me a break...... that is to expensive. You can get a Mario Rossi Modified Novarossi RRL3 for 275 euros in Spain.
I'll wait for USA version at U$180.00, and get a new pipe and extra plugs with the spare.

Can someone recommend a good pipe to use with the TR-T. It's for a NTC3. I'm expecting the hyper head in the mail any day now and I'm currently running the pipe that came with the team kit. I was thinknig of getting the RD Logics pipe......ny input on this pipe or others? Thanks

I noticed most guys at the track ran the RD logics pipe

The Pipe that I use is the OS T-3010. it works great:D

I was there also racing. Came in 5th:cry: My bro got 3rd. Were you racing compaq? Which guy were you? I was racing the car in my avatar. I'm there almost every weekend. Yes, the TR was performing very well. The driver drove a very consistent race with no crashing at all. But there is no way the TR can keep up with the Novas on the straights. :sneaky:

you are correct...os just lack the top end to keep up but the low surge of the car is the advantage in the infield....so if you're racing in a technical track with short st8s(35m max)....then os is the ideal engine.....and also Nova has come out with the RR L3/RRL5...personally I hve not seen the performance of this engines...

i make most of my passing in the infield just before the start/finish line,( boy do i love my O.S.Tr)

I was the guy sitting with Ah10 the whole day. When somebody crashed in the qualifiying i was the white guy that ran out on the track and gave the car to the owner cause the engine flamed out. I picked up a slightly used V one RR today, i should be there this saturday at the track getting help setting it up. The engine will probably be put in July.:sneaky:

Engine Maintenance
 

Hi Guys,

I have a .12 TR (P) - T and was wondering if anyone has a recommended maintenance schedule for this. Past experience maintaining it would also be appreciated.

Cheers,

John

Isnt the OS .12 TR(P) a 5 port turbo eng. Is it legal for roar racing....? For club racing doesnt matter, but by Roar rules .12 engs must be 3 port.

Yes the .12TR-T is not ROAR legal but the New .12TR-T R-Spec is
3 ports Turbo.

When is the R Spec coming out? I have heard great things about it. I know they rate the Turbo at 1.3. Is there a rating on the R spec?


John

Cool. How much did you get the RR for? I'm selling one also. There is probably gonna be another pick up race Sat. again. I will leave with a trophy this time.:sneaky: :tire:

no you won't :p

Yeah, i saw your RR on e-bay also before i bought mine. I got it for $100, it had only 2 quarts of fuel through it. Did you see how Ah10 raced last time, the only reason he lost was because of the thrust bearing, he had 1 lap over you guys the whole time:lol:

Don't worry, i will be right behind him in the #2 position, you can have sloppy 3rd's:lol:

Why you have to rain on my parade?:cry: :cry:

New R spec OS Engine
 

Does anyone have the specs on this new engine? I know there was a picture posted.


thanks,

john

no, there are no new specs yet. Just wait 2-4 weeks and it will be for sale at tower. I might get that or TR T, but i don't know, i'm having a hard time deciding:(

just kidding, i will only rain confetti on your parade.

by the way, need a pitman ? seems like i need some practise.

I may have to watch Mikes daughter sat for a few hrs while he's working so I might not be there:cry: Don't have to watch her in the morning. Don't have to watch her at night. But from 11:30-4, THE PRIME HRS TO RACE AT THE TRACK!!!!:cry: :cry: :flaming: :flaming: Shoulda told them i was working too!:lol:

I will get spec's to the .12TR(P)-R-Spec .
The new engine was ran at the Texas Biggie this weekend, Their was great resluts our team driver Ron Atomic used the R-Spec and Qualifed 2nd in the A main but got into a crash
and finished 12. He had one of the fastest engines eveyone was shocked that it was a OS engine. and Rick Vessel mad the C main.
The drivers were very happy with the performance and the speed rick said he could have made it to the B but driver error got the best of him. This engine will be ran at the Nitro TC Nationals in Sept. and you will be shocked to see who will be running OS.:sneaky:

Doesnt the Texas biggie have a huge track..... Still in a bus parking lot.

They ran 1/8 scale cars on the track this weekend, the back straight was 200FT.

The Texas biggie was run at our new permanent track, it is a ribbon layout with pavestones in the infield areas. The previous four years it was run at Texas Motor Speedway in the parking lot.


I talked with Ron about his OS motors and saw them run first hand. It was fast and looks like a very nicely made motor, it has a larger cooling head than the older TR-P.

I will be giving the new OS a try as soon as it is released in my NTC3.

Cody

are they running off the shelf engines or have they been worked. my tr hauled butt too, but i had more to do with the porting than os did when i was done with it.

i want to know that too:confused:

The engines had no modifcation.;)

The R-Spec Has more than enough Horse to compete with any engine, on smaller tracks maybe to much.:D

so are you saying that it even has enough to compete with the new Novarossi L3 engines? They are rated over 1.5hp....hmmm. I can't wait to see the specs....

Spec: 4,000-36,000 RPM 1.5ps/31,000rpm
:tire:

wow 1.5......hmmm now this gets interesting.....

If it retains the renowned ease of O.S. tuning and price points then it is sure to make serious waves.


John

those are some serious claims. this i have to see.

Well as far as specs go I am not sure what they are but I do know that the engine is awsome. Rick Vessel was running a box stock and was as fast as 95% of the other engines. My engine had some crank work done on it and I was never passed on the straight and had more infield grunt than the track could handle. The most impressive thing to me was that putting the modified crank in did not change the way the engine wanted to idle . The engine was perfect, it would run for 8 minutes at 214 degrees. The outside temp was 90-100 degrees . Also remember that specs don't really mean much unless compairing them with the same manufactuer. My crank had some work but look at it like this, 159.00 for the engine (120.00 less than an x12) , so once you have it modified (100.00) , it is still cheaper , just as fast if not faster , and has the best carberator on the market(reliability). If anyone would like work on their engines , let me know and my guy will do them for 100.00. you can contact me at [email protected].

By the way , gijoe64 did not know I was running a mod crank. I have not sent in my race report yet .

Thanks for the infor RON.:D

Thanks Atomic,

What type of work is done to the crank? Nice to see O.S. have an engine able to compete with the Italians. I currently have the 12 TR Turbo. Quite nice but not ROAR legal.

I await the release of this new engine....

thanks,

john

The timing had been opened up , thats about it. The center bore on the tr and r-spec are already at limit .
