Re: Some micro TPI love

Apparently they used to be for sale to the general public but the were just too dang expensive 800.00 for carbed and more for fuel injection, there is v12's out there as well with tiny lil ITB's lolz I couldn't see myself paying those kinda prices but they are wicked! Hots off to this guy for having the patients and skill to machine these lil pieces

Re: Some micro TPI love

My buddy builds model engines like this, mainly carbs tho. Theyre so cool, but require lots of time and you really have to know what your doing to get them running right. Plenty of vids on youtube of guys building all types of engines like this. Cool stuff
