H2B780......thank you !........I have looked at the K2tec pipes a few times, the non cross are about $700 and the cross over type in SS are something like $1800 I beleive........I think I heard they are a mid range street type HP pipe.....that is kind of what I am going for on my bike........Fast By Gast has a new pipe on their website, it is quite a bit fatter and sharper cone angles, also looks shorter than my earlier FBG pipes.........problem is, they are uglier than sin
.........somebody tried them and said they really produced good tourque and were a big improvement of the early ones. My bike comes on about 5500 RPM, it's like you flipped a switch.......pulls strong to around 7000 or more.......must be the pipes
Jorgen......thank you for the education and tuning secrets
That makes a lot of sense.......squish heads=faster combustion, therefore expansion follows sooner; Compensate by Retard Ignition to start sequence later=More Heat to pipes, therefore better and faster pressure wave.......Retard at higher RPM's
Also makes good sense.......Low speed (3000 to 4500 rpm guessing).........advance timing on purpose=early combustion, then expansion completes, weaker pulse wave to pipes which are out of phase at this lower RPM=less pushing of gasses back into cranckase from transfer port.
Very Very interesting
So then, until I get a Zeel installed and set up this summer........with squish heads and my setup.......retard Ignition from 23 degrees to ?.....something like 21 now (guessing)........and yes I know, this all depends on RPM, driving, etc
What do you mean by Parallel ?........Parallel to the piston dome shape such as Wossner is 13 degrees.........is there a benifit to dual squish bands at different angles ?.......I have read that more squish band is used 70% in a hotrod motor......40% to 50% in a street motor
Do you run leaded race gas in that 109 hp bike ?
I have read some of your posts and seen Dyno info......good stuff.....you use spacers on some of your cylinders I beleive to jack them up and increase duration....and cut piston skirt
I hope I am not wearing you out with questions, it is great to understand some of this.....reading Gordon Jennings can be hard to understand to a degree......and most tuners just won't comment (other than the triple guys
)
