New design TNT pipe

[Quinc]

Surprised the b.o.b crew isn't all about this being as close as they are.

^^^Up and over will never fit in their hull design is probably why. Tim, have you checked with the guys casting the TPE cylinders? Might be a good/less costly source. Good luck.

 

[tntsuperjet]

We have a US source to cast the manifold.
But I have to build a proto type first.
If gonna spend the money for a man not gonna just copy one, it needs some updates so it can fit new boats and make up and over design work with all the hulls including the blaster.
As of right now the RRD hull the pipe will fit with some some mods.
But new design of man will make it fit better and I'm sure we can Improve performance with newer design manifold.
And design in a new spray bar system.

I like my Coffman's Rockets on my Blasters, but a new design from TNT, they might get the boot. Past time for updated pipes/manifolds.

 

[tntsuperjet]

I'm building 5 more pipes next week.
These are steel pipes but if you have them ceramic coated they will look good and hold up for yrs

 

[Mark44]

Investment casting for a manifold would probably be the best option. first off make the manifold on a 3d printer cast that as prototype then move onto a machined mold for the wax.

hmm on the up over fitting more setups, but props to you for coming up with a new mani and getting them investing big,with forward leaning runners,you could really free up some space. Racers are more likely to be testing unproven pipes,most them tinker 10 x more than ride. Freeride/freestylers will come by the droves when it works and is dialed for a few size motors, There are something like 75 rrp pipes on backorder,cause the mani i was referring to stacking up to get into production..guess how many are going in raceboats?

 

[tntsuperjet]

Master blaster, the current design fits all but three hils as is, with small dent it fits all but two hulls.
With slight change in new manifold and little tighter bend it fits all the hulls.
Now no exhaust routing mods no tank mods no water box mods.
If your just a guy wanting a pipe for your stock boat this is a basic bolt on pipe.
That's my logic.
The pipe needs to be something for every boat and all types of riders.
Or it won't have even a chance to break even.
Don't expect to make much if anything on the pipe. But do hope I at least breaks even.

 

[XJCrawler]

Any plans to make a pipe for the high HP skis to compete with powerfactor and the rrp pipe?

 

[AtomicPunk]

I hope you make money, because if you aren't making money it is not too likely that you will stay motivated.

 

[masterblaster]

Thats a very sim concept I had with another product. I guess the question is,where the market is for a pipe product,In the newbies coming in who dont have a decent pipe already or the core riders that are looking for something better than a pfp. Would a semi newbie rec rider be more likly to spend close to 1k to replace a b pipe for a extra bit hp or rpms,or a core guy spend 1500 to get more response or power than the pfp.
At any rate looking forward to seeing what you come up with on a new up and over style mani.

 

[High Speed Industries]

I wish you were closer. I would gladly donate some of my time to help the production of your pipes. I think it would be a very cool to say I helped build a pipe. I can't even imagine all of the new things I could learn from building a pipe. Keep up the good work, you are giving many riders hope in our sport. I have no need for a new pipe at the moment, but I'll be buying one just to support your massive investemnt. I hope it all works out for you, this is a really good thread.

Will tnt pipe compete with PFP.
I think some of you guys looked past legdragger64 post.
On his 850cc motor it pulls harder then his old tnt setup and revs higher then the PFP.
5 different test motors from 785cc to 1000cc
So far everyone of them has kept it over there power PFP and RRD pipe.
None of the test motors are tnt motors.
Even the spec boat saw 350rpm gain with no loss in low end and improved mid.

That should be a good start as to say yes, my up and over will stack up with any dry pipe setup and it's 15lbs lighter as chamber only weighs 3.8lbs.

 

[LegDragger64]

Pipe is in Dry Pipe territory power wise with none of the dry pipe hassles. Does not bolt to the head like up and over dry pipes , so chamber can be removed easily by just loosening hose clamps and lifting out. Goes back in just as easily. Clears power valves with room to spare and cleared my 24/7 SR71 hood with room to spare. Cleared side of my 08SJ hull with room to spare. Entire exhaust system weighs 1lb less than BPipe with C4 chamber and a lot less than any dry pipe. Will not Hydrolock motor like any lay down pipe will. Power factor pipe is a hydro locked motor waiting to happen. So is Rick Roy Pipe.

This is good to hear my type 4 fits in my aquabot with room to spare. I assume this pipe would fit. I would love to try

 

[LimitedSlip7]

If those two pipes can easily cause a motor to hydrolock, why haven't we heard about it yet? I would think with the large number of pipes out there that the issue would have been brought to light by now...

 

[McDog]

I always turn my ski on it's left side before starting it after I come off in the water. Just in case.

 

[tntsuperjet]

Just so it's clear, leg dragger is not one of guys who tested the new tnt pipe.
He purchased his pipe.

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

How r these compared in size to type 4

 

[tntsuperjet]

I don't have type 4 to measure
