Tz350 new engine idea. Will it go bang?

[Kickaha]

same place they where at the BOB behind it

Remind me where it finished again?

TeeZee has posted a picture of his novel plenum chamber on the ESE thread:-

Could TZ's idea just work...........where will the FXR's be if it does?......

Here TZ, get rid of that ugly blow off plate and fit one of these loud Bling Blow Off Valves.

[Buckets4Me]

What will happen....... argh.... my gut says "big arse inlet fire".

....Now this is a big arsed inlet fire........TZ could make Bucket history by carbonizing his bike, has any one else smoked their ride?

[jasonu]

If it works I'm doing it!

[Buckets4Me]

to win a race you need to finish duh!

The FXRs might sound like bulldozers , but they finished !

well some of them finished anyway

[bucketracer]

Remind me where it finished again?

Not sure, but tell me where all the FXR's were when this photo was taken at the BOB:- https://secure.sportzfotoz.co.nz/pop...?imageid=45555

And what won?

.... carbonizing his bike, has any one else smoked their ride?

not sure if i should admit to it,
but yes (not my bucket, nor on the track) but a very flooded ZXR with the plugs out, while resolving a missfire a night before racing.
lost my eyebrows and a fair chunk of hair and most of the upper wiring loom and airbox; lucky the tank was off and someome else was there to turn the hose on it....
Though i learnt a few good lesions though; how to wire up a zxr and not to turn the motor over with the plugs out and live.

And what won?

Not an FXR....................

[Henk]

Have been present when a Z1300 got an airbox full of ether in an attempt to start it after a long stand in a shed. The backfire through the carb resulted in some hasty work witha handfull of shop rags to put the flames out.

A few TZ's have been incinerated this way too......aye TeeZee......

[SS90]

I had a conversation with a highly experienced professional Austrian two stroke tuner last night, and the conversation came to Teezee's latest plan.

I am not trying to discourage Teezee (quite the opposite), but, apparently results (positive ones any way) may be hard to come by.

I am now of the opinion that a 1.5l plenum is about double that of what his engine will be able to use, and the carburation will be similar to simply "over carbing" an engine.

However, Teezee, can you find an old reed block that you can mount between the carb throat and the plenum?, it won't be a lot of work (perhaps a scooter matic one from a Chinese scooter from a wrecker), and it seems it will help control over rich situations........

[Henk]

This may be completely wrong but if the plenum starts out too big will Teezee be able to tune by reducing the plenum volume by introducing suitably restrained ping pong balls or something similar to the chamber?

[SS90]

Well, I think he will have to reduce the volume, but how he does that (if he indeed has too) will be interesting for sure.

It's all theory right now (which was the purpose of this thread), but I believe that there may be a few incarnations.

It will however, work, albeit not perfectly.

dont give him any idear
this is starting to sound like a nail bomb (think the rest of E.S.E will wait till the restart to line up on the grid with him at the next gp)
