RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
The RG is $110 from Tower. Look out for the 10% off code on the main page, that brings it down to $99. It comes with filter assembly and two foam filters.
CMDRacing.com has a special on the MAC .21 for $159 including a spare crankshaft. Full price is $339.

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
yes,
jp-1 for low/med torque and jp-2 for med/hi torque
btw, does anyone knows, where can I find a jammin pipe somewhere in Europe...
would like to try a jp-2 on my P5[>:] no luck so far...
cheers

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
Thing is though, you're putting a low end pipe on an engine with low end power... This will give you crazy torque, but to get speed, you'll need to use a larger clutch bell. What would be better, is to use the JP2 pipe for top end, thereby balancing the performance a little, since the RG lacks a little in top end anyway...just my 2 cents...

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
Yes, but that it what i am after crazy torque....I only really bash around the backyard and I do race occasionally and the track I race at is like real small...and when I say small I mean real small, the straight is about 10 metres MAX, therefore I am after quite a bit of bottom end..

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
Yes that is usually the case. The exhaust design (shape and length of the divergent and convergent cones is the pipe) is dependent on the engine timings. A engine with strong low end has usually lower exhaust timings which matches well with a longer pipe.

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
Yeah, PRP Swift, So if I was after quite a bit of low end I would be better matching a low end engine with a longer pipe or a low end engine with a shorter pipe?

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
Low end engine with a long pipe to get the timing right to get the power out of the motor. Then you can gear up a little to get the top end.

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.
Ok, how does this sound...O.S RG, Jammin JP-2 pipe and a 13 t clutch bell?

I disagree. I still think you should go with the JP-1. As most people have commented, the idea is to match your pipe to your engine's strength. Trying to get more top-end out of an O.S. RG through changing the pipe won't give great results for your bottom or top end. If you want top end, then buy a top end motor. If you want bottom end, then buy a bottom end motor. Simple concept. Yes of course, everybody wants it all and I suppose this is one way to try and do it. However, letting the motor perform at its peak and changing your clutching I think is a better way to accomplish this. I don't claim to be an expert.

The pipe for the OS RG and V-Spec is the OS T2050 Pipe.
