was dissapointed with the numbers on the dyno, I know the 33bhp is crap but it still seemed well off
so I started to investigate further, the engine setup of barrel piston head etc that I have is apparantly from a slightly lower spec euro model that maybe had a CAT??
the barrel is one of the best stock ones, used with both flat top and domed pistons, thats lucky, so I have 2 routes, change piston to flat top and source the rocking horse poo matching head, or start making some swarf and learning about CR and CCR etc
book squish for the evo etc models is 0.8mm, book for mine can be as big as 1.6, mine is 2.1 oops, so thats a huge non effective squish and lower CR than it should be
first port of call after Newquay will be to try and free up some free of charge horses, top end off, remove what I suspect is multiple base gaskets, then remeasure, and most likely get the head in the lathe, time to start learning about removing material from the combustion chamber in proportion with what I remove from the head, % of squish bands etc, its all very complex but Im enjoying it
Arrow exhaust, different air filter setup and possibly bigger carb on the shopping list, as well as a trip back to the dyno
oh, according to gearing commander, 10k in 6th is 84mph, not that shabby, would have gone on a bit more I reckon but was approaching a car bit sharpish LOL
I know each to there own and that but they are about as exciting as diesel tractor engines lol give me the rind ding ding of a 2T any day every day and all day long not forgetting the heavenly smell of eau d'fullysynthetic
