Title: thoughts on ESR power kit
Post by: Vroomy on June 09, 2014, 11:44:25 AM
has anyone here bought the ESR power kit? its 310 barrel, 38mm carb and pipe. Been having a crap time trying to get my stock engine to run nice with the CT pipe, totally disappointed so looking at buying a whole setup and wondering what the ESR kit is like for the money? ultimately id love to get LED to build me a pipe and port a 310 cylinder but my coin wont stretch that far at moment. Any thoughts?

Great deal. Get that kit with the +$100.00 port and run it. If you are not looking at a power valve at the moment the power valve ready setup for like $20.00 will give you the option of dropping in a pv in the future.

My buddy bought the 310 kit with carb, trx9 port match and trx5 pipe, it runs real strong for just a port match.  I think I would get the trx7 port match and ride it for now, then later on send it to neil or arlen for further porting.

my brother is running a non ported esr 310 on pump gas with a 38 mikuni, esr atc5 pipe and stock ign, and whoops on piped banshees all day. with porting it would be even faster.  great bang for your buck, i wouldnt hesitate to pick one up.

So I'm ready to purchase a 310 package and really dislike how you can't get ESR on the phone.  Anyone have advice on the center mount pipe and intake? Does the intake work well or not? Would definitely work better in my Arens frame. And I'm not real sure on which porting to go for? Or even just get port match

If you ever ride in wet conditions an airbox is needed.

Im running their intake set up and a center mount, I wont ever go back. If I ever get a non esr pipe ill be changing to stinger to copy the center mount design. But like RK88r mentioned iI am only riding in sand I dont see anything outside of the occasional puddle to blast through.

I would go for the added port 9 or 7 for grunt tight tree work. The eliminator kits are very good but not for mud and flood riding. Try back and leave a message if they don't get to the phone. It is just eddie no salesman so he may be at the cnc or porting or something.

im no airbox expert but i always thought a properly designed airbox and inlet system would be better than a open filter ? maybe it depends on the speeds the bike will be operating at hell im not sure.  im gonna look into this when i get time

I'm sure your accounting for the time zone. Call mid-morning or late evening Cali time. You'll get hold of him. Good luck.

just place your order online, it saves him time and is easier for him since he is a one man operation, he even offers a discount code if placing the order online, note the top button on the left side of the website tabs. if you dont have the worry of getting your air filter muddy/wet, then just get the air box eliminator and centermount. from what everyone says, 9 porting is the best of all around power delivery. spend the little bit of extra money and get it full trx9 ported, you will thank yourself later :)

^^yes,
Also if you need to talk to him you can leave a messg and tell him your time zone and when might be best to hook up. It may not be too crazy for them to call at an odd US business day time. He may also work some odd hrs with the phones only on normal time to get some things done. With your riding yes the eliminator kit, center mount, and added 9 port work will work great for you.

Ok cool, thanks guys. Also what's the 'machining options' all about? I know it got stuff like airbox boot and intake, but not sure what they are machining exactly?

he is asking about the outside diameters of the flanges of your carb, since the bigger carbs have a bigger flange it is a bear to get the carb into the stock intake boot, and he is talking about machining down the diameter so it will fit either the stock intake boot, or the stock air box boot.

Oh thanks for clearing that up. So I guess it would be cheaper to machine the carb to fit stock intake rather than buy a larger upp intake?

it will fit a stock boot, it just takes a bit of force, and i like it because once you get it pushed into the boot and that little ring in the boot pops into the groove, it wants to stay with a clamp over it. i havent had an issue just using a stock boot.

put the stock boot in boiling water for a minute or two and remove, then quickly slide over the carb
