.28s aren't necessarily any "faster" than .21s.  Because of the bigger piston, they have more torque/acceleration.



For something fast, I would recommend the RB C6.  RBs in general rev to the roof and the C6 is designed specifically to have a better bottom end.



Without any other information, like what your budget is, then you're gonna get a million different answers and not really make any progress on making a decision.

The Jammin IS a Picco 21 turbo - and the cheapest version of it.. It's the same as a Picco 21 P7 Evo 2 I think...

Supposedly runs great with a JP-4 pipe..

I run the same engine under the name Nosram 21RR, with a Nosram 2063 pipe, and it rips... The Picco 21 turbos make big-time power - among the most powerful for the 21's.. The LRPZ21X was a monster on the dyno I heard.. - it's also a Picco 21 turbo.. They're all the same engines pretty much.. - just different colors...

Ah ok i didnt know that. I have learned so much over the last few days. Thanks guys! So whats up with thisNovarossi N21BF "Limited Edition" 3 Port Standard Plug Engine? I keep going back to that because if the Price. $149.99 cant be beat for a NR engine. I wonder if it would make a good club race engine with the right pipe?

Go Tech 5 or 7 port turbo is a good engine within your budget.

That is not the engine that is identical to the Jammin JPX 21. The Picco Evo 2 or 3 P7R .21 is what you want...(more expensive though.. That's why the Jammin is such a good deal...)

And yeah, btw, Irun a Caster Grenade(which is a slightly modded Go 21 5-port..) engine too, which is cheap, and readily available in England. It is a nice engine, but it's a b.itch to break in - has a ton of pinch... And so far mine runs really hot... Idles well though, and seems to have nice pop.. Runs well with an 053 pipe..
