Looking for ANY RX1 turbo install instructions, mainly trying to figure out what was done with the so-called "Pitot tube", which I can only figure out was an adjustable, fine-pressure PSI regulator connecting the charge (boost pressure from intercooler) air to the carb bowl vents...

    Turning Motor backwards by hand - will it damage it?

    Is there any danger in turning an Apex engine backwards by hand slowly? Thanks. The 2011 Apex engine had been sitting out of the sled for over a year. Before trying to start it for the first time I added a tsp of oil into each of the intake throttle bodies, and into the spark plug holes...

    Help - Need Sidewinder Wiring Diagram

    I signed up for the VIP membership and TY4 gents kindly provided a link to their PDF Sidewinder shop manual, but the wiring diagram is useless, so low-def and blurry you can't make out anything on it at all.
