Efficient RE
Ok I’m not sure if this topic has already been written; just want to bring it up again,
ok this is just my theory,
RE problems,
Bad gas mileage
Burns oil
Low in power
So i figured fix the problem b4 upgrading the engine and maybe you ill be happy with it
These are all est. HP numbers; let me know what u think of if you got the same, if you did it b4
12A engine used as eg.
105hp- stock (4.5 psi)
5hp- remove fan
10hp- alt and main pulley changed
5hp- performance air filter
10hp- better exhaust
20hp- lighten rotors, e shaft and lap side housing
5hp- lighter seals and higher power ignition
160hp est. with the same psi, add a lighter flywheel, better clutch and fuel to air ratio mixture guage setup, and this will be a excellent 12A or 13B
now I was told don’t lighten the 12A rotors because you will never hit high rpm with it or only to be used at track, but who says that’s how I’m going to drive on the streets, when I want more rpm I want to know its there, the point of this engine is to eliminate the problems and get some more power, now If I have 55 more HP I don’t have to step on the gas so hard, (less burning gas, less oil burn and more power) again this is just a theory “my theory”
anymore to add?
