Re: My 2001 elite 50 build-up

The mixture is good, I had been running really rich for break in for a while, so it turned out nice with the 110. Loud though, really loud.

Re: My 2001 elite 50 build-up

Got the uni on, and now acceleration to a flat spedo needle takes a couple less seconds. Way louder though... kinda cool sound, but I hope the neighbors don't care..

Re: Why is my elite slow? 9:1 gears not getting 50mph

I would just throw it in a fire pit if you have acess to one, then just high temp paint it to look better than before.

Re: Why is my elite slow? 9:1 gears not getting 50mph

Good idea on the tach, because it will tell us a lot about where the problem is. If the engine is turning the right rpm for 50, then it must be a link in the tranny.

The best way to burn carbon is the fire technique. Its the least chemically way at least.

Re: Why is my elite slow? 9:1 gears not getting 50mph

Yup, my elite will do a cool 80mph uphill with my 48mm bore.

Oh wait, nevermind, forgot to reset my max speed on gps :wink:

Re: Why is my elite slow? 9:1 gears not getting 50mph

I hear sef has steeper plates that makes the rollers have a harder time pushing the vari out for acceleration, but you should be able to still max the vari out. Do you have stock belt for sure for your stock trans?

Re: Why is my elite slow? 9:1 gears not getting 50mph

I think for some reason your zx is the thing that's limiting your top speed. Everyone else that's hit 50 on 9:1s just have a performance elite vari and maybe a aftermarket ramp plate, but my ramp plate is stock, so basically with just a keli vari did I hit 50 with 9:1s

Re: stock or aftermarket pipe?

Not as worth it as 9:1 gears. On a stock bore you can push 50 pretty easy with gearing.

Re: Spree Tires

Fatty rear tire with stock size front tire looks the best, and you have to really be carefull with a larger front tire on a spree because of rubbing on full front compression.

Re: Spree Tires
