Legal pipes and engines?

[Northy]

What does a pipe need to be legal?

I need an engine. What do people suggest?

Cheers,

picco are good dude, get a starter box and a non-pull start one, less faffing about.

Pipe has got to been passed for noise, I think it has an EFRA stamp on it (or has to have a stamp on it for BRCA)

I have the RB C6BB T7 all i can say is, its an animal.

Have a look on the www.s-m-d.co.uk site.

The Go 7 porter is the equal of anything out there at the moment and about half the price of most!

Whilst your there you'll find the pipes that most of the guys running at the sharp end of the nationals are using, again fantastic value!

i would recommend getting in touch with Jamie booth at smd as well, the go 21 pro engine is ace ether the 5 or 7 port both work great, he also has a efra legal pipe very cheap very good

i'd say wait for now before buying a pipe as there are new EFRA specs for next year! pretty much ALL the pipes in use at the moment will be illegal according to the construction specs submitted to the pipe manufacturers!

have a look on the pdf http://www.efra.se/news/download/200...ept-2007V2.pdf

as far as i know the BRCA will give us a years grace on using the new pipes like they did when the 3 chamber ruling came into effect in 2005

it really depends on where you plan on racing really?

club racing - you can get away with pretty much anything
BRCA Nationals - prob use existing 3 chamber pipes in 2008 but have to use new ones the year after (need official confirmation on this)
EFRA sanctioned events - you'll need a new pipe made to the new specs!

nothing published from last weekends EFRA AGM yet?

as for engines the Go are spot on for the money, a few quid more will get you a Novarossi Sirio or RB! any of those would be a good choice

Basically unless your doing nationals you can run anything you like.

As for engines the go range are good but i've not seen many go for more than 3 gallon before needing a P+L.
For the money the #OS vspec @ £150 uk or £130 HK takes some beating

Whats the engine for......buggy or truggy?

Does anyone know how much EFRA are hoping to reduce the noise by in quantitative terms, the closest they get is "a number of decibels"?

What sound pressure levels are the current pipes allowing?

Thanks.
