Was worth a crack
I'll admit I was really keen to go down the bolt up horsepower route but the prospect of self loathing has ended my Derbi cup aspirations. So its the been done 20 years ago KE/RG100 for me. I'm going to add axillary exhaust ports without welding so will be interesting to see if it can hold together, will also re-work the transfers. I figure 28 reliable horsepower will be a reasonable target, watch this space.

I'm watching...with considerable interest as i have 2XRG barrels here and don't see how it can be done without welding....Originally Posted by kel

You're braver than me - I'll be interested to see how long the epoxy lasts with hot gas one side and water the other.

28hp should be relatively easy. Good luck with your project. Plenty of pictures please

From the Pit-lane forum -
"The best working epoxy for me is Loctite 9492. I even repaired the exhaust duct (I cut a hole into the water jacket).
And from the Maestro himself "At Aprilia we had a very good epoxy, called 'stucco verde' in Italian. Never worked loose and even withstood replating!"
The auxillary duct will be primarily ali tube but it will be held in place by the stucco verde epoxy. And if it fails, there is a plan B!

It can be done mate. Mirrors on a stick in a gas box. Might be a bit of grinding to do afterwards though.

Nah. the RG waterjacket can be cut away in the appropriate area and the bits you want filled done. Cut the aux ports and when you're happy with them, add the outside jacket wall. I'd reckon it would even be possible to drill water passages from the top between the aux and main exhausts.

What bottom end will you mating these to?
Have a look at this site for some cool aftermarket RG parts; long con rods, icon silver flat cage big end bearings, discs etc etc - http://www.maranello-engineering.com...ard-p-800.html

Don't know yet, may cast up cases. still thinking.....But also really too busy with OPS (other peoples shit)
Whatever, it probably won't be on a KE bottom end as you appear to have grabbed the last loose ones....
