thoughts on new .28 engine?

[jordie2maxx]

what are your thought about the new Novarossi-based RB .28 engine?

sounds nice...five-port mill with a 18.35 mm bore and a 17.6 mm stroke

what are the opinions on this??? $350 gonna be worth it?

later, Jordie

Uh?? That's not a Novarossi! It's an RB Concepts engine. DUe to come out within a few weeks. Should be an awesome engine. From what I've been told, it is geared more for MT's as opposed to racing (buggies, etc.). So, when it does come out, you can expect to see it my way soon. Can't wait!

Read carefully. He did not say it was a Novarossi. He said it is a Novarossi-based RB .28 engine. He's saying it is based on a Novarossi design or something along those lines.

man, they really need to stop making those corny flames, it makes the product look cheap.

Oh, belay my last! Yeah, it is Novarossi based! Can't wait!

Not to diss the 28 but you might want to look into the Sirio 27, 11 ports and 3.1hp.

EP, i think the RB's gonna whip up on your Sirio . I'm gonna work hard this summer , and try to get it for my MBX4 XR

hey also, EP , hows the tuning ability on it? I consider myself as a intermediate tuner lol I'm Workin on it! :stickup:

i just did a google search on the engine and its 5 ports at 3.2 hp! thats a great motor.

Tuning on the sirio, hmmm... You have to tune most engines out there, some may even require a pact with the Devil. The sirio tuning was not really tuning. The engine wants to run and will do everything possible to help you along the way to acheive this.

niiice stuff. what was the price on that engine, did you get it at debbies?

 

[El Pirata]

From time to time Tower can be wrong in their description. I looked at multiple sources that that my bad boy had 11 ports.

yeah, i saw that on trinity, what are the temps like on it? Also , I'm very interested in a O.S motor, I dont want to start a new thread so, can some ppl tell me whats a good model. Thanks.

Tuned at an elevation of 1500 feet the temps were about 250. Down at sea level it was a whole heap too lean. It was running like a raped ape. When I temp'd her after about 5 minutes of run time she was at 350. I killed her and let her cool then richened her up a half a turn and went from there.

I won't generally tune to temp but I do use the temp to know when I am too lean.

The raped ape gave me a good laugh, So when u got back from Roanoke it was 350*? Hmm.... damn lol

Higher elevation needs to be leaner due to less oxygen at that level I guess.
