How did the BP's do against the 'other' guys this past weekend at RAMS?

Qualified 4th, was running 3rd early in the main, had mechanical issues.

I can feel the power even running still rich after break-in today.
But many fuel spill out from carb. neck, back plate, HSN shim. Any ideas? thx!

I do use teflon tape with exellent results everywhere.Had used red RTV silicone at back plate and carb neck with the same results but it is not as clean as the teflon tape.Just don't overdo it with the teflon tape on HSN housing for sealing the HSN shim so you won't brake it.

Yeah!!! thx! lol

make sure the screws are tight and the high speed needle housing is also tight.

I've found the lower shim is a bit over-size, now is fine.
But I like the engine, sound awesome!!!!!
BTW, what's the temperature range about this engine?
And, how much copper shims for the turbo head in standard setting?

so what did you do to fix it, sounded like u had backplate leaks as well, or did you not, id like to know, thanks

use telfon tape, really works. easier control then silicone sealant.

FYI, I have my tune done finally, the engine run pretty well in high rpm, the temperature is 107C, run time 4:45/tank.

I've been looking into a BP engine for my Kyosho GT car. I'm not sure which would be the one to get though. It weighs in at 3520 grams right now. It should be down to about 3350 in the next couple weeks. I'm not sure which BP engine would be up to the task of lugging this beast around. Maybe the 735RT or go with one of their off road engines?

Any input is appreciated.

I would think an off road motor would be better, so I would suggest one of the 3 port buggy engines.

Thanks, I was kinda leaning towards to off-road engines. I know the on-roads have a tough time getting this heavy pigs rollin'.

Anywhere else can order the conrod? A Main is out of stock, any shop world wide I can order the conrod excpet their head-office in Italy. The shipping cost is crazy 250 EU to HK for 3pcs conrod which costs only 75 EU
