faster acceleration on a 85 spree???

Does your Spree/Elite already run great, and you're trying to make it quicker/faster? Need a monster motor swap? Discuss your ideas here.

Noiseguy the guy who pays for this site.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

noiseguy never made boost bottles for sprees...

EDIT: i was talking about who still makes boost bottles, not the tail pipe.

(and yeah i know who noiseguy is, i talk to him Via PM some times. He kicks *.)

when drilling out the baffles how can you tell when you have drilled through them? do you just count out the times the pressure from the drill gives in?
i just dont wanna mess it up.

ok, the tail pipe is like a emtpy jar with 1/2 in. plates in it.
when you start to drill you will be surprized at hole hard the plates are to drill though.
Just keep drilling. After a while when you get though it the drill will be able to move forword another few inchs with out problem. This means you have drilled the first plate.

Finding a drill bit way my hardest part. it needs to be long. For me i just drilled 2 of them. so yeah, count the number of times the pressure gives in. Drill 2 and take it for a test ride. Really, the ammount of air flow needed to give it that little boost can be done by drilling a few baffles. Weather you drill 2 or 3 is not going to make a differnce.( it might, but it would be hard to notice.)

I personaly would not drill more then 3 baffles. Reason being a 2 stroke needs back pressure. thats why a straight pipe is a bad idea. When i got my 92 elite it had some home-made 'fatty' pipe on it, with almost no back pressure the bike ran like s***.
Honda when making these bikes knew how many baffles were needed for perfect performace. But they put a few extra in there to quiet it down.

Yes they do work , how well on a spree is TBD.
I have one on my r/c car (1/8 scale GS STORM PRO buggy). and on the dyno it was worth .15 hp. nut thats on a .21 (3.5cc) glow motor on 20% nitro with a torque tuned pipe turning 47,000 rpm (peak). but it was a notable increase on the track. snappier on the bottom and better fuel mpg (laps per tank)

yeah, but a nitro motor is different then a 2 stroke spree or elite.

I got a person down the street from me that has a few of those RC cars, there bad as *. But a spree is allot different then those ( sadly. i can only dream a engine like that sized up.) But on 50cc motor range. a straight pipe is a bad idea.

Not really they are both 2 strokes only big diff is the ignition and fuel. Also i think you ed up with a blown engine if you dumped nitro glow fuel in a spree.

No we cant, I found my spree about to be thrown away. Now let see some pics of your setup in front of your huge house with mexicans mowing the lawn in the background.

here is the deal
when you are living in southern california
and gas is about 3.40 a gal
and insurance rapes you blind.

its not bad to have a spree that you picked up from a buddy
when the insurance is less then $100 a year and it costs about $1.50 to fill
its not bad at all
butthole.
and plus the chicks dig it
now i will be posting some pics soon
thanks for all the info
i am gunna start drilling right now.

well i was a little concerned ramming the drill bit in. but I went for it
I had a drill bit that would handle at least one baffle. so i got through the one baffle. but the bit was to short to do any more
so i hopped on to head to home depot and well the acceleration was awesome but i lost some top speed.
