mesa.. the less expensive engines are not putting out anywhere near the power of the G-26 and Brillelli 26. They also will not last as long plain and simple.
As far as teh MVVS 26 and a pipe.. its nice that it doesnt have a side carb, but the 2 above engines without a pipe will still beat the MVVS 26 with a pipe. If you put a pipe on the G-26 and Brillelli 26 they then walk all over any 26 on the market.
I have been trying to follow Brillelli 26ssr thread and there have been only few tacho readings from normal users. Piped Evolution 26GT spins 18x8 Menz woodie 8200rpm. Please post some tacho readings for G26 and 26ssr with this prop or something heavier prop than that usual 16x8 APC. Will the G26 or Brillelli 26ssr even turn 18x8 prop?
Nice article about older Evolution engine tuning:
