@@AutoBeta2T i dont think you need to wrap the first few cm of the header but the header and diffuser wrapped seems to be the go. It could be causing problems given you have an aircooled cyl with no water cooling the exhaust duct. The fresh charge that is scavenged and pushed back into the cyl will not travel very far from the port. Maybe about 1.5-2x the bore in lenght, so that part needs to stay as cool as possible to not heat up the scavenged charge before being pushed back in.

@postulator8909 ай бұрын
So much to unpack here. First of all, with more compression, you need to back the timing down at higher rpms as the heat generated from higher compression will work against you. Also, mixture turbulence causes a faster burn. So an ignition with a retard function will help. Check to see what your ignition is doing with a high quality timing light after marking flywheel with additional timing marks. Compression is great for bottom end torque but not so good at high end. Have you looked into ceramic coating the crown of the piston? Ceramic will even out the temperature of the crown so hot spots don't develop possibly causing inaudible detonation at higher compression ratios. Are you seeing any detonation clues on the plugs? Also, ceramic will insulate the crown so the piston transfers less heat to the crankcase. When the piston transfers heat, the crankcase pressure goes up and you won't get a full intake charge as the pressure differential between the crankcase and top of piston when ports open won't be as great so scavenging will be hampered. You can see this after the engine has run for a bit by examining the bottom of the crown inside the piston for what is happening to the oil mix as it contacts the piston. Shiny aluminum means you need more compression, charred means too much. Shiny black means your near the limit.
@AutoBeta2T9 ай бұрын
Hi Dale, thanks for your comment. My ignition is fully programmable and I have had the timing light on it but I do need to try different settings as I've changed quite a bit. I have read that lowering the compression can give more energy to the pipe and if it's well designed it increase HP. I'm seeing no signs of detonation but if i'm honest my runs aren't long enough. I need to change the gearing to what it will be for 100 mph and test in 6th gear. Even then i'm sure i will have to jet up and retard ign for the real world. I'm also intersted in the effect on actual airflow over the engine and particularly the pipe and it experiences a higher or lower temperature than the dyno - could be a key parameter to ensure the pipe is tuned for 100 mph airflow. Any ideas on ceramic coaters in the UK? I have heard of this. I have also heard the polishing the combustion chamber and the piston crown can have a similar effect by reflecting heat out into the pipe. I'm not sure how effective this is but I see it as a test i'd like to conduct. Noted about the heat transmission into the crankcase - I'd never thought of this. Thanks. So in summary the only place you want heat in a two stroke is in the pipe?

@@AutoBeta2T Look for shop that offers spray coating, aerospace if possible. Many years ago, Tony Nicasia would race the Kaw triples at Fremont Raceways. After each run he would use a garden sprayer to cool everything down. When I began racing, Roland Cushway was one of my friends when he was working for Hunt Racing Products. He prepped TZ250 for AMA competition. One of the things I noticed was the ceramic coating on the crown. I looked into this and that was when I started observing the under side of piston for what I called the heat health of the engine which I described in the first post. Long story short, before we began closing up the squish band and coating the piston, we found that at a track like Sears Point ( I have no idea what they call it now) the bike would run out of turn 10 in 6th in the opening stages of the race, but as the race progressed, the bike would drop back to 5th and finally 4th gear as the engine lost power to crankcase heating which is what Tony was battling in triples. After the engine was developed, the bike would consistently drive out of 10 in top gear. In the end stages of the race, my bike had the benefit of a 15 mph greater drive out of the corner. Ceramic coating works. I spoke with a gentleman that worked at United Airlines at SFO as a flame sprayer reconditioning internal jet engine parts. He informed me that a proper ceramic coating has three levels of applied material. All three have different expansion coefficients. The first layer was more like a primer and allowed for a greater amount of expansion. The second and third were the coatings that did the actual work. But the coatings together would allow the piston crown to grow without cracking the brittle ceramic coating. This is something the Roland had observed, but at the time wasn't aware of the cause as they were using their Plasma Products vendor, the same ones that coated the Hunt aluminum brake rotors with the friction material. The downside is that the coating has a thickness that will need to be adjusted for with the squish clearance. Another word about ignition timing and dynos. There is a condition known as flash readings which is what some tuners used to claim their max HP reading. You have already alluded to this. In a nut shell, a cold engine will tolerate more timing and yield higher HP readings...for a moment. But as heat develops in engine, the timing will need to be retarded and along with it, the HP from max. If you wanted to do serious investigation into timing curves, I might suggest that WOT at various RPM's, for extended periods of time allowing heat to maximize. After several runs you may come up with a more realistic timing curve. Of course the curve will be dependent of the vehicle use i.e. a drag motor will tolerate more timing than a vehicle used for road racing, or in your case extended WOT for a speed record. All the best, and REALLY enjoying the work you are doing. Your inquisitive nature and patience is adding greatly to the knowledge that many can use.
