Is the grp tuned 21 in the promo kit really any better? I have read a lot of testimonials on how these motors get excellent fuel mileage, the same was with the ninja and I never saw it. I know there are a lot of variables but some motors have a reputation to get great fuel economy no matter what the conditions such as the v-spec. Not looking to get flamed but just some good, honest feedback. The price of the promo kit has made it more reasonable to try this motor out, they are on sale everywhere I shop. Also I would be dropping the promo kit in an mbx6 buggy and as some know the chassis is kind of a tight fit when it comes to pipe and manifold selection, so with this being said does the grp pipe and header fit without any major mods? Thanks .
I also had one of the older GRP ninja bo1a engines in a mbx5r. I was running the ninja pipe on it and tilted 30% fuel and was getting right at 9:30 a tank. I believe I could have pushed it to the 10 minute mark but might have ran out. I loved the older grp engines and the newer ones are just as good if not better.......
