I know you gotta shim the VG with a Vspec head, do you gotta shim it for 30% out of the box, it didnt come with a shim so I assumed it was okay...Input?
I'm getting a new cooling head for this thing, I get it ripping last night with good smoke and it ends up at like 290.
Also Switched from an OS8 to an MC9 and it seems to run a little better. Opinions? (Was looking around, turns out MC9 isnt the right plug...Just one I had in my box)
I'm just starting to get more used to engine stuff, so I still ask for opinions anyway.

you need to run short os plugs i ran mine on 30% with out reshimming it you should check the deck height though that will tell you wether or not you need to reshim
Os 21vg - J-Dub - 04-18-2008
Deck Height? I've got a cooling head coming if I know what to check il'l check it when I put that on...Also OD99OS plugs. I loved the OD99 in my Werks engine.

Do you think the vg will be alright for outdoor?
Os 21vg - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 04-21-2008
for about 4 gallons lol
Os 21vg - motoxer4life - 04-22-2008
Yeah, mine didint do so hot with all the bigger jumps and stuff
Os 21vg - J-Dub - 04-22-2008
you Need a cooling head for that thing. at 270 I can still smell a little raw nitro. It was insane at like 290 but that's a little hot. It's got the power just gotta LEAN THE #$!$#$ out! 2 gallons and mine still has excellent pinch, just get a Vspec head or a King-Headz head or something. With the vspec you get the turbo button so you gotta add 2 copper shims to the aluminium gasket to set it for 30%. Vspec carb helps to i've heard, I just installed my Cooling head last night,we'll see how much cooler it gets it tonight when I go to the track.
Hehe, There was a guy with an RB in his Mugen, and my little 150buck OS was smoking his ass ALL over the place.

by the time you get a v spec carb and a new cooling head wouldnt you be close to just buying a v spec
Os 21vg - J-Dub - 04-22-2008
Buying a blown up Vspec come on now. Im not going the carb route but I needed a cooling head so I got the king-headz one.

Im fast enough with my stock vg
. We'll see outdoors, but it seems to be plenty fast.
Os 21vg - cheesecake - 04-22-2008

Os 21vg - motoxer4life - 04-22-2008

Os 21vg - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 04-22-2008
just get a vspec, RB for me now
Os 21vg - cheesecake - 04-22-2008
ewww RB= runs bad
Os 21vg - J-Dub - 04-23-2008
I'd take it all from you, for a reasonable price, It won't ever run again in my hands. it would be getting stripped for parts.
Os 21vg - J-Dub - 04-23-2008
I might also just relpace the head button since I already got a cooling head.
however, the one I have went in tight, and when i tried to pull it out, it just pulls out the sleeve. heating it pretty hot with a heat gun should loosen it enough to be able to get it out, correct
Os 21vg - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 04-23-2008
man since when do RB's run bad?!? are you high?

i was just joking i ran a 3 port and i was surprised with it
Os 21vg - J-Dub - 04-24-2008
I've never really seen a bad RB. Sometimes they sound like they are running like crap, but they don't show it on the track.
