Nizpro this and Nizpro that .........Oh yeah ...... I agree !!!! :punchhead: My Nizpro engine has over 25000km on it and it's as still as quiet as a stocker and that was one of the older build types. At low RPM all you can hear is the gearbox rattling away CheersRobin.

Tex Member 56 Member For: 22y 4m 10d Location: Brisbane Posted 22/11/06 10:18 PM Posted 22/11/06 10:18 PM I have listened to Shane's after we went for a run and at idle it didn't sound any different than a standard T. As most people would know the reason for the noise when cold is due to the extra clearance forged pistons need when cold because they expand more. Atomic will be using new pistons with a coating in 2007 that will enable them to run closer tolerances. I believe the new pistons have a 100,000 K warranty.
