GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

hi guy´s im owner of genesis 46 but a want to change the engine what would you recomend ???

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

Why do you want to change that engine ocava? I've had a 'Genny with the original .46 for around 9 months now and it's a real workhorse, four or five gallons through her and no problems.
Sorry I can't recommend a changeout but just wondering.

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

any point 28 or .32 engine just mod the engine mount

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

those engines can move the truck whit a good speed ????

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

yes they can

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

wich do you have genesis or nemesis

this is a PIC OF MY TRUCK WITH LRP SPEC 2 http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...HPIM0112-1.jpg

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

HERE IT IS WITH THE NOVA .28 http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...rekanai032.jpg

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

JUST GIVE you a idea of how strong the nova is when i use to run the lrp spec 2 i geared down to 17/21 on clutch bell for more torque since .28 engines rev higher than the stock engine. when i put in the nova i had to gear back up to stock gearing 21/25 because it was just plain nasty on the bottom

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

wooooooooooow men your truck is amazing

if i install the LRP i need change the gear of the clutch bell ???

the LRP is more powerfull than the stock engine ????

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

can i use the pipe of the stock engine NX76 ??????

why your truck only have 4 shocks susention why did you remove ??????????

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

I know I'm not even close to understanding everything in this hobby so would someone explain to me why you would want to change the engine out from stock?
I think the .46 is an awesome engine, it has enough power to move a battleship and the speed comes from the tranny setup so I think the engine is not a consideration for the speed.
So for myself and others that would read this thread a little elucidation would be appreciated.
Thank you!!![8D]

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

speed only comes from the tranny VIA RPM<<< of the engine if the engine has little horsepower it will not be able to spool the rpm needed to move the vehicle as well he wants a higher revving higher hp bigblock in his truck for more low end grunt and a greater top speed the .46 is a great engine no doubt BUT there are much more powerfull engines out there that will ram that truck through a brick wall if you so desire lol

thats the reason to answer your question

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

Those trucks are DIALED!!!!!!! I'm working on an engine mount that you guys can purchase from me direct through my website.

PM me for more details and information.

Thanks Turbot,
I see it's a relationship between torque and RPM's so you sacrifice one for the other.
The NX76 is rated for 5hp at 23K rpm so you lose top end. The other engines mentioned have less hp output throughout but higher rpm's at top end.
About 2-3 hp at 32k rpm I think.
So you get higher rpms to get you going quicker to make up for lack of torque and higher rpm's in the end to get faster speed.
Do I have any idea of what I'm talking about?
Aaahhhhhhh!!![:@]

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

i have the GENESIS

can i use the pipe of the stock engine NX76 ??????

why your truck only have 4 shocks susention why did you remove ??????????

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

i reduced the weight of my truck once i removed the stock engine and pipe wich were very heavy. there real wasnt any need for 8 shocks since the truck was much lighter know and 4 shocks could more than handle the job making the truck more nimble.

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

the lrp doesnt have more power than the stock engine, but is faster on the topend. i geared it down to get more lowend power and it does have some serious power. just not as much as stock

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

tnk´s BLACKRAIN i will buy the LRP Z .28R spec 3 i wish that this engine work very nice in my genesis and i will geared like you to have more torke

what pipe would recomend me to use with this engine.???

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

black rain i bought the picco .28 it is a good engine for my truck ??

what pipe you recomend me for this engine???

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

i would just keep the .46 and play with gear mesh

today i saw the stock .4 and it hauls some butt, but he changed his gear ration for more top end, as much as he could squeeze out of a 23,000 rpm motor

its a good motor, but is HUGE

RE: GEN/NEM ENGINE
 

yeah gear it up to nemi specs! vroom I run 17/21 but I run a lot of tracks that don't have much of a run at the jumps!

if that gearing seems to punch just fatten that bootie-end screw
