RB Concept Engine Thread
#466
I'm glad to see the RBs making a comeback in onroad here in the States! The last one I had was a V12. At the time, it was a beast. The best thing about it was it had a very wide sweet spot in tuning. And it lasted for many gallons of fuel. Is the T9RC easy to tune and does it keep a tune? I see a combo package that is VERY tempting!
The engine will keep tune all day without a problem.
You can't go wrong with an R3, T9 or T10.

The 2010 engines are really good, it's either a T10RC or a flash if you are searching for a .12 engine.

If I'm correct the T10RC also has a balanced crankshaft.
But an R3 would still be very competitive, actually my fastest engine (and probably the fastest of our entire class) is an R3RC from 2007.


It has done 11 litre's thus far but still locks up while starting if it hasn't been pre-heated.
It's around 5km/h faster on the main straight as any other modded motor, including Murnan's.

Another q. I'm gonna give up my 30% nitro for 20%. With the T9, do I add a shim? Should I follow the in-car engine break-in on the RB site? I was always a heat cycle guy and have had good luck.

I used the heat cycle method on both my R3 and R3RC and they've been fine.
