il be racing next weekend so i will try that and make sure my clutch is ok too .
i am going to get the 53 pipe so i have to retune anyways.

cool yea i think i can get it tuned better yea i know the s5 wont be super fast but im only club racing and i can catch up with guys with race engines inless i just drive better than them . its fast enough for me
for club racing i dont see the point for a race engine.
i love it when my dad says you were finishing good the whole day why are you going to mess with the engine well i told him your not the one driving it so you dont get it.

Glad it's working for ya!! Take care of it and it will last you a long time. I had an S5 for my first buggy engine and it lasted two full seasons and over 15 gallons. It was my first engine so it never had a rod or bearings replaced.. only glow plugs.

i looked at the 53 pipe and its says its a mid range pipe ? im pretty sure the s5 is a mid range engine but my track is fast flowing layout and its a big track .
now about takeing the carb residicter out when you adjust the idle now if im on the track and i have turn the idle down i would have to shut the engine off and take the residicter out to turn it down ?
nevermind i looked at the other dynamite like the 007 that is a torque and mid range but i would have to gear up a tooth for te top end.

oh ok yea chris on this tread the team driver said to take the restricter out to adjust the idle while im bench tuning it . so on the track if the main and bottom needle is set than while im on the track i can leave the restricter in if i have to make the idle higher or lower ?
he gave me a great bench tuning tips.
yea im getting the 53 pipe than i was just checking out the other pipes.
i was looking at the rb 2045 pipe but no manifold when its $105

Ya man, set the idle gap at home away from any dust. You only set that idle gap as a starting point, but you really should not have to move it much. Use the LSN to keep it running on the bench. Just follow what I posted and you will have it set very close. Chances are your going to have to lean the LSN a lot tho as you were most likely very rich to compensate for the high idle gap.

ok cool yea it was running rich on the low end because of the idle being to high but it dint flame out with the #77 plug it did keep on running.

RB Pipe
I have a few older pre-2001 pipes and they seem to be really banged up.
My JP-1, and 3 pipes don't seem to be banged up at all. No dimples like the
older pipes. Is this because the older pipes are thinner?
I have to put water in them seal them up and put them in the freezer to allow
the water expanding to ice to push out the bumps.
