I'm also interested in an on-road engine.
I like that PICCO P9R.
Would there be anything that will match that.

Is that the same Ninja from Mugen that is used in off road? I didn't know it was also worthy of on road cars. That's good to know

Back when Mugen Ninjas were made by GRP they had onroad mills as well.

I see, I was wondering since I know the current Ninja is no where near 44K RPM's.
Thanks

the onroad and offroad Ninja motors are different mills...they no longer make the onroad Ninja...wish they did because they were outstanding.

I was kidding about the 44K...lol

The P9R's are great motors...they just don't seem as smooth or as top end fast as the Nova motors..but then again they are much less expensive as well. P9R's are great motors no doubt...

I am very confident I can make some of these onroad engines scream...But the issue is I lack anywhere I can properly test them...I can test them on the dyno and increase the power numbers, but without doing actual track testing its hard to finalize...When runtimes and the feel of the powerband are soo important its difficult for me to actually improve them if I have nowhere to test them

I'll get a hold of you in pm's Neal and see what we can figure out. I don't wanna poop up your thread here with schtuff.

Glad to see your business is doing good man.

The weighted flywheel was a vast improvement on the clocked JPX in the buggy. So much so I was able to take the win at the Byrons warm up race at the Nitro pit. Runtimes increased due to lack of tire spin and my buggy was not doing wheelies anymore. I'm still having a little trouble finding the sweet spot on the tune. I always seem to be either a tad rich or a tad lean but I'll get it. Agama and a clocked JPX are a winning combo for sure. Add another victory for Team Clockwork.

Oh Jeebus...at 5000 ft we need to pull that breakin shim...thats why the bottom is being tricky to set..........altitude plays a massive role on what the ideal head shimming will be, especially on the modified engines....

A big congrats James and glad to hear about the good results with the weighted flywheel. Any podium pics I can get for the site?
