Obr 34 ss vs esp 34 vs Taylor 35 or do I go big bore?!?!

[Crazybajabuild]

Hey guys im building a Baja and i want it to be the baddest Baja I ever built so I wanted to go big bore, but I think it’s a lot of money for how much im gonna use it so what are peoples thoughts on these 3 other engines? I have an esp race ported 32 atm and it’s all fun and all but I think I need more. Any help would be awesome

You have a baja so do twins and don't look back

 

[Crazybajabuild]

I thought about it but someone said it’s more complex with having to tune two engines

 

[Rep732]

Getting them synced can be a pain. @spents has better insight as he has a twin. Big bore baja would be sweet.

Either it’s the baddest Baja or it’s not. Go big bore or regret it forever. Detroit performance will let you buy the engine pay it off as you go and then send it to you when your doing paying for it

yeh its more complex but not massively mate ,
reaally all you need to do is run the cylinders within 10 degrees celcius of each other, fit a pair of tto temp sensors and run at idle, add a tad more fuel to the hotter running cylinder till you get roughly within 10 degrees, run the car and do the same with the high end needle,
once its there leave it alone unless it creeps high temp on one top end, repeat as you need to,
i did the above on my twin and got 40 to 50 tanks i think it was before needed a re ring,
am just in process of a full rebuild now 6 years after owning the engine ,
very important to keep carb butterflys in sync as well, they wont need sorting from new if you go obr, but simple enough to do if you renew carbs at any time etc,

Let’s just say I do go the twin route lol.. would u suggest going with the obr setup or Detroit?

Your username has alot of expectations to live up to don't let us down

the taylor rc twin is a bit of an unknown untill its released mate,
but i'm sure its gonna be insane ,
and probably a totally different way to setup over the rcmk/obr twin

A Taylor 46 in a baja looks fun. I just might have to do that!

Like layaway I did it with my 46 paid a little off every week and it was paid off in about 4 months. Hurts a lot less that way

I second that that's how I got my 65 and my 50gt he will send you a payable invoice and you can make payments little by little till its paid off

That’s sick. I was thinking about getting the supreme 55 but it may be a little much since I’ve never had a big bore lol

Get the 46. In the future you can get a kit to turn it into a 65 if you want

My buddy has the 46 in his Baja and it has crazy power I was thinking about getting it too but didn’t want to have the same engine as his haha. 55 can be made a 65 also right?

I am currently in the same position as you were in 2 years ago when this post was fresh. What engine did you end up going with and why? How did it turn out? Any recommendations will help. Thanks
