On other hand, I will not sugest to compare team engines to regular poduction engines. Ths is why they are team egines-drivers will show you how fast they are, but pretty often it is driver, not an engine. A top of the line Max today is not much difference to a team Nova. We can buy the horsepower. Making use of it is a different thing! |
Serpent says their MCP engines run better in the long race configuration, that they handle the heat better, blah, blah ,blah.
What temperature is too hot for these? :cool: I'm getting ready to race in sunny Florida and don't want to burn it up.:tire: |
The Red,
We were temping them at just over 200 last weekend after a 5min run. We had one of those weird unusual days were it was just as hot as Florida. Hope this helps. |
Originally posted by theRED5 The best thing I've found about this P/S combination,( the micro cast piston and whatever y'all say the sleeve is made out of), is that if you die in a race, when that muther's hot, it fires RIGHT back up and runs well. can you explain me better what you have "discovered"? do u say that microcast piston and classic sleeve suffer the hot temperatures less ..... or are more powerful in high temperature...??? What is the best piston+ sleeve couple for this hot summer???:flaming: :flaming: :flaming: |
I would say the best piston / sleeve /conrod for the NR based engines is Edward's (Palmaris) BRB set.

Guess what guys... Nova is reworking the AAC engine now. The 8 ports is not working for them. They are going to switch the 421 back to ABC in the mean time!

I just meant that it was easier to re-start when hot than other non MCP engines.

Last weekend, like I said, on about the 10th tank, in near 90 deg F, air temp, it was running 260. Blowing good smoke, and starting to get fast.
About right?:blush: |

Originally posted by theRED5 I just meant that it was easier to re-start when hot than other non MCP engines. You are right. I have noticed the same thing But:eek: I have one fear: Take care, the next time about the compression ... when it is cold. I think...your engine started to wear..... That is the principal reason of the easy restart with hot....:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :smile: :smile: :mad: :cry: |
Yeah, well I did have to put that new piston and sleve in it.
I used to have a NTC3, that was famous for flaming out, and the MT and MR12's I ran in it were a real biotch to get re-started.:flaming: |
