parilla vs tm

crgmichael · 24 Jan 2006, 12:21 (Ref:1507986)

whats your thoughts on the 2 engines in jica can get a parilla swift tuned by P.D.B for €1700 complete or a tm for €1000 tuned aswell both are blue printed and carbs tuned was told id be dissapointed after the first race meeting if i got a tm its my last year in juniors so i want the best engine any thoughts welcome was also told the intrepid bearing carryers crack easily and gillard are a hit and miss was told birel is your only man whats your opinions

Don't even blink. Go for Parilla! The engine is better for Juniors and PDB worths the investment, for sure.

Thanks hotwheels thats my engine sorted gone 2 get soon as possible.now for the chassis I hate this part!!! ive got a crg road rebel03 have for the last 2 years was lookin at gillard the lad im getting the engine off is the dealer for them so i could get a good deal got world and euro champs but what are they like over here,was lookin at intrepid aswell i know different chassis depending on person but overall which is the prefered chassis

The new Gillards are VERY good, everyone seems to be getting the damn things

crgmichael · 24 Jan 2006, 16:46 (Ref:1508159)

id be getting a 05 gillard they seem to go well at my local track but thats in max theres one in mini max came 2nd in championship think 1 in jica but not sure think ill go for it anyway looks like a good performing chassis i no this has got noting to do with performance but they look danm good aswell

yea get a parilla because they are short stroke and quick.

Rushy · 24 Jan 2006, 16:49 (Ref:1508163)

and i would go for a intrepid or an alpha (but wait for there 06 models)

crgmichael · 24 Jan 2006, 16:52 (Ref:1508166)

ohh yea there euro and world champs same with parilla would you use a back up engine in the wet and keep your good 1 for the dry or just use it in the wet

crgmichael · 24 Jan 2006, 16:56 (Ref:1508169)

was kind of turned off the intrepids was told that the bearing carryers crack could be bulls what was yours like regarding bending/cracking

Rushy · 24 Jan 2006, 17:26 (Ref:1508201)

didnt bend atall stubs are a bit soft that about it(can be costly)

crgmichael · 24 Jan 2006, 18:45 (Ref:1508278)

what were they like in the dry

Rushy · 24 Jan 2006, 18:52 (Ref:1508284)

Very good as you can see by the euro results. Also if you made 1 little thing different you can feel it staright away which with the tonys and birels was not noticable. Also you need a good setup to get it right

crgmichael · 25 Jan 2006, 16:39 (Ref:1508921)

heads wreaked with chassis think ill get a intrepid can get it cheaper the gillard is 6 meetings old was goin for e1300 intrepid was e1000. back to the the parilla vs tm i can get the tm e1200 and parilla for e1700 both tuned im running on a very tight budget would you get a parilla swift much cheaper? but parilla is ex p.d.b engine .More to the point which is beter i know the parilla revs quite a good bit more than the tm but would it only be better on long tracks and match the tm on short tracks

Rushy · 25 Jan 2006, 16:47 (Ref:1508927)

no i you look at the results the parilla short strok(you should only get short stroke parilla) is faster than tm's everywhere you will have to check with pdb that it is short stroke
