my 3 port and 5 port love the jp-4 with jp-header. 1.1 springs and dynamite maxlife shoes in truggy, 1.0's in buggy. too much bottom kills traction.

Or are you saying that Go are increasing their prices in the states on their 5 ports to $279
There are going to be 2 versions imported by race factor industries. 1 will be the 21EB5RP race prepped engine this is the EB mods race prepped. The 2nd will be the 21EB5FM fully modded. Go here http://www.ebmods.com/M5%20Press%20R...ine%20copy.png for more details. And yes these two engines are $279 and $349

These are going to be EB mod specials. They probably will still import the regular 5 port. I forgot to ask yesterday when I was on the phone with the distributor. He was cool his number is on the above link you should call him.

All current Go engines will be available and supported as always without any price increase. The Ebmods engines are a joint venture between Racefactor Industries, GO and Ebmods to create a race engine that has all the bells and whistles ready to go from purchase.

It has the coated cranks like O.S. speeds plus a coated wristpin and throttle slide. Instead of getting a ceramic bearing from asia we chose a proven name brand bearing, so the engines come with a TKO ceramic rear bearing. To further make sure the customer was getting the best product we wanted to sell them pre run in as well.

We feel that GO has proven itself time and again as being able to deliver on power, life, and price and will continue to do so. But at the same time we wanted to offer something that was at the top end of the spectrum, so what we did was try and deliver an engine that was as well prepped as an o.s. speed, but still offer more to the customer and at a price that is considerably lower.

Remember that a race prepped EBM5 is basically the same engine as a stock Go 5port, these engines have the same timing and porting as the stock GO engines.

Q: Can a "standard" button be put in the GO .21 5-Port instead of the "turbo" button?
If so what is the part number and where can I get them?

Tree it is not in the works at this time. In time if things go well with the EBM5 line you will see a EBM3 and EBM7.

You can always send engines in to Ed to get them modified as well, when its time to rebuild the engine, send Ed a 7port P/S/R set.

ummmmm well its been a while since I ran standard plugs..generally the turbo plugs seal better and give a power and a run time boost..if I had to find a negative they can seize in more easily than the standard plugs..I use a touch of copper high temp grease on mine..and they are generally more expensive..watch ebay for deals they do happen once in a while..I found a seller last year selling novarossi no 5 and 6 turbo plugs for €12 for 5 plugs..thats just over $3 US or $4 AU each ..naturally I bought all his stock..getting a little low on the hottest plugs but thats life..I never had any problems with standard plugs and they are much easier to find a great deal on..I guess finally its whether you want to pay a little more for a slight performance gain...you looking to race or just bashing??

I race... AE RC8 buggy/Novarossi N21BF 3-port (standard plug-McCoy #8). Now I am putting a GO .21 5-port in a Caster K8T truggy.
Mostly just trying to simplify things so that I don't have to have two different plugs to keep on hand or worry which one to grab out of the pit box.
I have never run an engine with a turbo button (burn room).

slakr you still won't be able to run one plug, the go's use the o.s. style short plugs. if you want to run one plug you would need to get a turbo burn room for your novarossi
