Thanks for your help
What pipe are you running? I'm using the suggested RB pipe 2611 on my 720 geared 16/61 22/55 I feel like it needs a little more top end... acceleration is ok but the Max Power on my 733 is deff faster but only 5:19 runs, with the Matrix I'm almost getting 9 mins. I'm testing different glow plugs also and gear ratios and maybe I can lean the HSN a little more...

Seems that orings on middle rpm needle have to be change every 5 liters at least.
Mine leaked only after 1 litre, resulting in poor and inconsistent idle.

The o-ring looked fine, I used teflon tape (plumbing tape) which instantly fixed the problem.

Hey Mick, still got the Novarossi's, just running a Murnan RBM3 at the moment.

Won't be back until the next club day at Moorebank (1st Nov, I think), will be interstate. When are you coming back to Moorebank?

Default RB 12s from the UK

Dear all, I've just spent the last couple of hours reading the RB thread and found it most enlightening.

There's an old note about changing con rods. Pay attention to it. Our R3 was very tight when it was new. We didn't change the rod. Leading the B at the fast and flowing Halifax track, it broke halfway down the back straight. Case, piston, liner all shagged.

The T9 RC has to be tried. Ours injested a bit of grit into the front bearing seal and started sucking in air. Waiting for some BOCA specials. The engine flies, can be run very warm and the RC crank is a work of art.

We run NT1s in the British National Series. The Works drivers change engines 3 or 4 times over a weekend. We are seriously considering running Uriah's units next year. Winning comes at a cost ! ! ! but it's worth it.

My son Peter drives, all I do is build 'em and buy the bits. We like RB, the French guys are mainly racers and are very helpful.

Regards to all

My R3 P/S needs to be replaced. What novarossi P/S fits the RB V12 R3 2008? Where can I get RB R3 or T9 P/S?

As far as i know RB makes two onroad 3.5cc engines and one rally game engine. The C9 is surely out of your budget, so the only remaining option is the Classico 9. You could as well look into other engine manufacturers.

I owned one many many years ago, great engine. At the time, this was easily the quickest engine. Unless your at the stage where 0.1 a lap means winning and losing, this motor should be fine.
