Sneek peek at the Jet Pro on road pipe

[Pipeous]

It hasn't been chromed yet, this is the first pipe made

I like the 2 piece design. I wonder if he is going to start doing that on all his pipes. Makes servacibility very easy. Love the look. I'd rather have it natural anyday.

[Pipeous]

Looks like it uses the Nutech stock header. The back could use the weight anyway. I can see the arms sit almost level now. I can't wait to get my hands on one :D

[Nutech Ben]

:excited: It's cool, I like the design, also like the PIPE. When we can see the video of this one?

Seems GT-5R body shell can't fit on the Chassis after you change the standard PIPE as this one, right?

[BigBrother]

...Seems GT-5R body shell can't fit on the Chassis after you change the standard PIPE as this one, right?

:with stupid:

its the burning question.

[Pipeous]

First questions I asked were if the body fit and if this will be a top end pipe...

body fits fine over the pipe and dramatic increase over the whole powerband... his words ...

"that pipe I made will make more power than that car needs!"


Also there is a rubber mounted stinger that can be added to point the exhaust out the back. I am waiting for the finished pics, and asked for one with the body to show.... then he is shipping one to me... I saw the first pic and just said how much... every jet pro pipe I have ever owned performed well and wasn't obnoxiously loud. this pipe is made specifically for the gt5r. with my fg I'd have to get creative to make an air filter work around the pipe with the engine on an angle

[Minimax]

Looks cool,

but I wonder, will the air in the airintake not be too hot?

I don't know about 1/5th scale, but we own a Cobra 1/1 scale, and we had to wrap all the exhaust pipes in the engine bay because it became too hot.

Cool air equals more power

Hot air causes fuel to evapourate before reaching the engine.
The pipe is around the carburetor.

Maybe making a scoop can solve this problem. .... If you should encounter one...

just my 2 cents

[RCKIWI]

Nice pipe for sure but I will stick to my Samba side pipe alot less heat around the engine than that pipe!

[bentley marshall]

sorry i dont like it ....i can see bodys melting all sorts of engine running problems with to much heat and cooked fingers trying to get to the stop switch

i have to interject.
tuned pipes produce power. even BAD ones produce power, but not as much.

i have a pipe from dino that is enourmous, looks hideous, is very loud. this pipe has power that stages 4 times , and makes enough power in each stage to break the tires loose on my 26.3 zen G270. http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz163/estrellainc/JetproAvatar_2.gif

unlike a "can", tuned pipes are designed to kind of "supercharge" the intake of a 2 stroke engine by allowing more fuel into the cycle. much like a well tuned carb helps make more power, so will a tuned pipe that make the engine happy. (aka the infamous stock 26 zen and the VRC rear pipe)

i have NEVER - EVER heard of a JETPRO causing all sorts of engine problems with too much heat.
Call Dino yourself on this one. 1800 4 JETPRO

[dc2 man]

sorry also
i dont like it either..too much pipe on top.

that header is no good for a pipe like this,it needs a tuned header also

BUT,i would sure love to try the power side of it as i run a jetpro on my beetle and they sure can make a POWER pipe.

im not saying that the pipe wont work or give good power its just to close to the carb and in take air will be to hot and will evaperate fuel making the engine run lean ..

[bentley marshall]

allso how are you ment to tune it with the pipe in the way ???

and i am with dc to top heavy for a on road car need to get the center of gravety as low as posable thats why they lay the motors down

[Pipeous]

Side pipe is coming too. I just talked to Dino. He's only had the car for 2 days. He went on the advice of one of the top racers running an fg on this one that said all the weight is on one side.

anyway, keep the eyes open, I shall have more pics to post soon

[TMRperformance]

that pipe looks to have quite a bit of potential! the header design will never be perfect as the engines position is not ideal for the ultimate pipe design...

[Pipeous]

I should have one in my hands soon. I just sent all my particulars... so we'll see. pipe, chassis and tires should all be arriving same time

[Willy099]

I also have talked with Dino This Pipe is a power house pipe. I along with Zero are going to be stocking these pipes. We should have them in hand next week. There is also going to be a silencer available for this pipe. He is still working on a couple of other designs. He has run it some and had no problems except that the very outer edge is going to touch intermittently as the body area around the door has some flex and enclosed with the pipe is some Heat tape to keep this from rubbing off the paint in that area. These pipes are going to retail for $169.00 and $30.00 for the silencer. He also has adjusted the carb. just fine with he pipe installed. This pipe is also mounted with the motor so it flexes with the motor not the chassis, which is always better for the motor and pipe, no undo stress having it flex at two different axises. The pipe also fits fully inside the body and the roll-cage. There is no issue about reaching the kill switch or the pull start while it is hot. Also as Bentley stated There have not been issues of heat build up on the jet pro pipe. After all He is a professional pipe maker this is what he does for a living. The design he used here is very similar to the ones he uses on the go-peds, pulling a full grown adult human around. This is a power performance aftermarket part meant for power, not for little kids to get burnt fingers. The design of the pipe is meant to keep the weight to the rear because it is going to be needed for the extra power created by the pipe. I am sure that anyone getting this pipe will probably never even get to full throttle :-), as it will be creating so much power :punk:

very well stated!

[Pipeous]

Here's Dino's GT5R with the chromed pipe and silencer on. I love how the exhaust rear exits now. My pipe and silencer will be here before the rest so I'll do a comparison video same lot and everything, just pipe changed

[mradlin]

I think it looks awesome! Way to go Jet Pro!!

I also like where the exhaust exits...kinda like the real deal. :punk:

[NUTECH RACING]

Nice body color, nice pipe!

Videos?:yahoo:

[TMRperformance]

that looks awesome! that design will help with traction and stability as well as HUGE performance gains! i like how the muffler looks like a real automotive flowmaster!


on another note i just finished on the dyno today with a stock 25.4cc engine with a new jetpro pipe for an HPI baja and the results were shocking!! cant wait to see the #'s this pipe can lay down!!

[Mike1970]

Jetpro pipes just look too bulky, I much prefer Samba or Mielke pipes - aside from the looks they've got years of racing pedigree.

Mike

[Pipeous]

I did a short video with the stock pipe, and will do a video, same parking lot, same tires etc to show the difference. no new bling will arrive before my pipe so a fair assessment of the differences will be seen. I might try taking the solvent to the tires though to soften the rubber up. I was wondering if maybe 50k was too thick for the rear dif (have always just run grease in my fg) but my bud is running 150k in his, so maybe not

Jet-Pro pipes may LOOK heavy but unless you have held one, you would not know that they are not as heavy as they look..

unless you were living under a rock ,you should also know Jet-Pro has many many years in racing as well as the other pipe builders. looks dont mean a thing when it comes to performance!

[Mike1970]

Well i have held one and I'm sure they're fine for bashing but unless YOU have been living under a rock you'd see very few racers - if any, use them for off road or on road 1/5 racing.
The fact is, I don't like them and therefore I wouldn't use one because I believe there are much better options out there. FG, HARM, Contrast and other manufacturers use pipes from Mielke, Samba and RN tuning on their Comp cars not pipes from jetpro ........... What does that tell you? Why do you see so many used jetpro pipes on ebay?

I don't know Jetpro or the people involved but as you've decided to have a go at me because of my opinion then I thought I'd share these facts with you.

Mike

[highwaystar]

First off I am going to say I am a very loyal Jet Pro customer. I have seen,owned and run almost every make of large scale car at one time or another.The reason I am a Jet Pro fan is because I know what kind of power they make. I think when you guys see the vids that Barry will be posting up you will change your tune. BTW I think the pipes mentioned above are over priced and over rated. I drive real power, that is why I drive Jet Pro.

[Pipeous]

I have a samba in my fg, had a vrc pro pipe in my fg vw, jet pro in my tb2, semi used to have an fg pipe, had some clone fg pipe for a bit, had 3 different jet pros on my now gone mt...

the vrc I will admit was a great pipe for power, but I think a little soft and dents easy. oh ya had a vrc on my redcat rally. my jp on the mt man it took abuse. huge power. wheely machine... the body got trashed and I ran anyway. I landed on that pipe many times and nothing happened.

the samba? it's cool but I can have 3 jet pros that perform as well for the money. I have since gotten to know Dino at Jet Pro and email back and forth. I am biased sure, because he has great knowledge and accessible, unlike most others. I think customer service as well as performance is important. I asked Dino to make me pipes now for a few vehicles, and they all rock...

I won't knock any pipe mfg, all the big named pipes work, but you don't see jet pro pipes on on roads because until this he has never made one... I have been bugging him for a few weeks to get on it LOL

[Pipeous]

Ok, I got the pipe mounted. It goes on very easy and with all the bolts needed and instructions it goes fast.

The first pic shows you remove the screw and nut on the brake line and mount one bracket there with supplied bolt.

The second pic it uses a long supplied bolt and goes into the motor case in a spare hole...

Third pic shows how the added silencer bolts onto the bottom of the shock tower below the swaybar mounting screw

Fourth pic shows the pipe is close to the rear window, I might cut a little out for cooling, maybe drill a couple holes for the air filter to breath.

Last pic is just to show the exhaust outlet. I also removed the rear body mounts. one body post felt loose and turns out the threads for the setscrew are stripped... I'll figure something else out. at least this removes the pressure on the chassis and motor so it won't play with my carb linkage

[mradlin]

Looks really good Barry!

How does the body fit with the pipe?

[Pipeous]

Fits very good even if it is tight to the rear window. It should be fine but at worst I cut the rear window out. We'll see when it stops raining. It gives a little weight in the back that was needed. Now you can see the arms have a litle bit of droop so I can toy with the spring adjustments.

I can pick the car up by the pipe so it's secure

[mynameismud76]

I like the shot in the fourth picture. The silencer end bit, the way it bends rearwards.....sweet as a nut!!

:punk:

[Pipeous]

I thought I'd fire it up and show you guys how it sounds. I didn't get any driving videos... not sure where I put my tripod and at the end you'll see what happens when I try to hold the camera and radio at the same time LOL. I did drive it a bit before this video and steered around the puddles. it is more hooked up but the power increase is silly hehe. I did a burnout from stand still for the neighbours, they loved it haha

I did find one motor mount screw right front was a bit loose. I tried to tighten it in but it was tight... I rocked the engine and could hear a tick? so I removed the screw and cleaned out the hole with a dye. now it tightens... must have been a small burr. I thought I was going to need a washer or a shorter bolt. I'll dig through my screw bin later... I am stripping my TB2 right now... vid is slow uploading right now...

[Pipeous]

lol that little blip when the trigger bumped that power supply was enough to move the cement drain thing hehe

[TMRperformance]

sounds good, now we need an action vid!

[RCKIWI]

I am sure Nutech are bringing out a GT40 body next wonder if that pipe will fit?

[Pipeous]

Dino has allready started on a low profile pipe, should be done any day so we can slam bodies. He said he likes to make a few so people get choices... it will be a side pipe for those that want them...

sunday we are hitting the college parking lot for some fun, so I'll get video. I need lots of room to wind it out because my new tires won't be here until wednesday. if I lose it I want some recovery room
