3. Pipe for a technical track? I have a werks 2058, nova 2096/41021, nova 9886/41001? Don't really want to buy any more pipes so just after the most appropriate from my existing selection
4. Any other items that are unique to rb?
Many thanks in advance.
Hey Prowlag,
1. Been a while since i have run in a Nova, but for the RB we always use a pre heater (comp heater for) for the first couple of litres. We have had no issues at all when we pre heat. We have run in over 10 of these motors and have found the best method is the drive it straight away method nothing under 90 degrees and on the pipe from the first tank... 5min runs cooling in between ( we do this on a road for the first 6 - 8 tanks ) then move onto the track.
2. We run the RB V3 no 6 mostly or though on a hot day ( over 30c ) we use a 7, the Nova plugs would be best.
3. Sorry can't help much with any of those pipes you have, but anything that leans towards the bottom end would be ok..... The BXr has heaps of top end.
4. Nothing special needed
Cheers
Mark
