Tec posts for Page 350 (but not complete yet)
Lots of interesting links on Husabergs original post
There is lots of interesting views and pictures of crank balance posted on the following pages …….
This is real Gold
Effects of changing compression ratios, complete with dyno graph.
I think this is one of the big ideas that have come from the work on the flow bench. You need to look at the whole post and pictures, the idea is that a small deliberate step gives better flow than a perfect match.
You need to read the whole post for Wobblys thoughts on Com Ratio.
Compression ratios and what works …….. you need to go to the post.
Buckets is not the only thing Team ESE gets up too.
Phillip Island Moto GP 2011
Chambers in the red hat talking with Rossi after his off, NedKellys just off screen.
Rossi would have been interested in Teaming up for the 2 Hour but his contract with Ducati won't let him.
and Chambers recons million dollar Ducatis fill up with dirt during a crash just like Buckets do.
Well maybe Chambers didn't actually talk with Rossi but that is Chambers in the red hat.
When is someone/anyone going to write a modern two stroke tuning book? Well then!![]()
Phah Swedish girls. They kind of look a little plain compared to Kiwi Chicks. Like these below

The author of the best 2T simulation software package available, and believe me I have used all of them including Fluent driven by Solid Models and full Cd mapping,
could not make a living out of selling his software.
I talked to him about doing a book, and including his software as a package, just like Blair did many years ago - that I thought was a godsend.
Read the book, then use the software to develop your engine.
There is no money in it at all, for the effort and costs involved in getting it to print.
Maybe sell it online, as a downloadable package,but again, the costs of setting up that scenario would mean questionable profitability.
Blair was a paid Prof, Neels van Neekerk the software author is a Head of Engineering Research, they have jobs to pay the bills.
The last Tech book that made any money was and is a Uni manual - Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, that I bought as it had a disc with engine balancing code on it.
Its author is Prof of Engineering at Uni of Wisconsin - Madison.
None of the traditional print houses is interested in tech manuals, even if Steven King were to do one.
At this point its up to you to buy the software and learn, but thats also hard in that crap in = crap out, so you have to then build crap to learn that it is - Catch 22, that made money.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.
Shame really.
Because Jennings is so 70's Bell is like so 80's Robinson is so early 90's
I suppose even if it was printed in electronic form, someone would just pirate it anyway.
After all the current 2 stroke tuners are gone it will probably just die (The 2 stroke)
Without Bell. I would have probably Just brought a diesel.
It would be interesting to run a simulation on say Bells RM125 road racer tuning example. This time with 2011 technology with a modern pipe design and modern tuning techniques to see just how far the 2 stroke has came in 30 year's since bell probably wrote the book.
What good is knowledge if it can't be shared. (It not a slight a you Wob you need to make a living and it's not easy being self employed)
Four stroke are just so boring. Honda basically done it all in the 60's. The 2 stroke as so much more to give.
For instance F5Dave made a comment regarding the lack of 2 strokes in the bucket field of the race that Mike had posted. The GM street race.
Well I sure as hell noticed the same thing.
I just added up the feild out of the program.
Out of 29 guess how many were 2 strokes.
11 no, 10 no. 9 no, 8 no. 7 no, 6 I wish.
I count 5. Yes only 5.
It could have been 4 shit. I am not sure about one of them, (Johnny Buchanan Honda G4)
It was, As always one of the bigger classes. In fact the biggest if you add in the fact the the larger classes were mixed capacities.
Exit soapbox Ning Ning
For Frits and Wob. How much difference do the carbon pipe covers and or pipe lagging that Aprillia and others used to run make HP wise in top end?
Is there still a place for them or has the electric solenoid PJ rendered them redundant?

I agree with Wobbly (I usually do): there is no money in paper books on two-stroke technology (there is little money in paper books period, unless you happen to write Harry Potter stories). But you'll find a lot of present-day info in forums.
ESE's works engine tuner is a good example, and of the numerous other forums that are 'open to the public' I would recommend www.pit-lane.biz. It's French-based, but yours truly and Jan Thiel are allowed to write in English (and I post all my photos in Dutch without anyone noticing).
A good starting point would be here: http://www.pit-lane.biz/t117p246-gp1...es-aprilia-rsa.
Reading through the above posts my eye fell on this remark from Wobbly, talking about reeds versus disks:
First of all, thanks for the flowers, Wob (like I just said, I usually agree with mr. WrightOriginally Posted by Wobbly
).
Second: it should read Jan and Frits, not the other way round; Jan did much more than my humble self in making the two-stroke so suppreme that it had to be put down by the Honda-Dorna combination.
Third: I would not say that a Honda reed valve engine kicked Aprilias arse. The Aprilia riders did that all by themselves, stealing points from each other and shooting each other off. Not even Honda-driver Hiroshi Aoyama would dispute that the Aprilias were faster.
"Is there still a place for them?" I should think so; look at the Aprilia RSA125. There the cover does two things: shield the pipe from a cold air stream, but more importantly, as you can tell by the shield covering only the top half of the pipe: shield the crankcase from radiated pipe heat.
How much difference? We can only guess (which I avoid as much as possible) because nobody ever took the trouble of measuring the difference on a real track (were measuring the power would not be simple anyhow). The crankcase-shielding will give more power everywhere and the pipe-heat conservation will give more overrun which is extremely import for lap times.

Ive been using engmod2t for a little while now and initially though there were limitations in what it could do but now realise that i'm the real limitation... there are so many ways to measure and input data and its extremely hard to know if you're doing it right...
Im guessing the only way to tell is test with a dyno and compare results, then alter the way data is entered until dyno results consistently equal sim results...
Are there many engmod2t users on KB? might be worth starting a thread asking/answering questions.
Thanks Frits I had never considered the heat soak from the pipe to the Crankcase.
Given the bucket rules we run under AC 125cc with 24mm carbs and LC 100cc open carbs what would you go for.
The only 6 speed one is the Kawasaki in the Disk valve models and GP125 Suzuki with 5 basically all the reed valve ones Case or cylinder are 6 speed and We are not adverse to deboring or destroking a 125cc Later model engine.
I am thinking open race tracks here in the South Island. Sorry its a curly one.
Other question anyone no the firing order on a TZ750 I was reading something the other day that suggested the cylinders fired in Pairs the outer two and then the inner two together. If they do I wonder why? Was it because of the way the cranks were made and Joined?

I would stay away from air-cooled racing engines at all costs.Then again, I would find a way around the carb diameter limitation; take a look at www.pit-lane.biz where I explained the backgrounds of my 24/7 inlet system.
