hey nitro212
you`ll be fine with that fuel.
one thing i found with the 18ss engine is its like to run on the hot side(280F).
i`ve been using the monster 20% for like 2 gallons thur mine without any problems.

Nitro212

hmm ill try that fuel then since they sell it in my local shop cuz o'donnmels ill have to order it online and they will rip me off with shipping X_x and yeah right now in NY is very cold the engine goes up to like 130 f so yeah

but ill give a shot of that monster 20%

trinity is good stuff, but you will murder your engine running it at 130* f, do you have a body for it? if you do, wrap the heatsink in foil so it gets up at least over 210-220* f

Nitro212

Yeah i got a body for it.. with the body warms up to like 165 F x_x

Nitro212

so which one should i get? x_x

trinity, but you NEED to get your engine hotter or you can kiss it goodbye fast, dont just lean it out either, you need to wrap it in aluminum foil

Nitro212

ill try that tomorrow after i charge my batteries

*EDIT* i just turn on the engine wrap it up with foil and still just warms up to like 160 F x_x maybe i did not wrap it right? or is beacause is cold outside? uh ill have to test it inside with a normal temp

hpi apollo

yeah....dont run the car inside

do you have air holes cut in the windsheild or side windows cut out, if you do, cover them up, also you might have to use more foil to get it warm

Nitro212

but is weird :/ before it used to go up tio like 250 - 280 even tho it was cold now im not sayig is the new pipe maybe i messed up somethign else and not sure what it is but yeah dunno why it dotn warms up now :/ what can it be? fuel? uh the new pipe/header is installed ? unno

hpi apollo

well try tuning it, just leaving the former settings and changing the pipe could make it run richer therefore cooling it down

Nitro212

what u mean? put the old pipe back? or try new settigns for the new pipe?

old pipe


new pipe
