well i figured id give up the ride report on this port work..bottom line its down right fuggan nasty...i had an issue with it spitting and sputtering when i put it under a load and after messing with carb for an hr finally realized that the coil wire was loose and slopping around fixed that and the thing came alive..instant throttle response, will lift up in every gear no prob at all..i havent got on it all the way cause i was still in the break in process with it..but what i felt so far was all im going to need as far as usable power for the trails...fuuny thing is im using the same jetting as i had in the 240 kit i used to run and it was dead on perfect..what are the chances of that..hopefully ill get some vids this weekend
I KNEW IT !!! Just what ive been saying all along, "Its gonna scream!!" . The power gains are AMAZING aren't they? The first time i did a 12 port lay out i expected a lil gain in hp but it completely freaked me out when i rode it. You did great work freek !!! what pipe and carb u runnin on it now? How is the power compared to the 240?
Glad you like it bro.Sounds like a runner for shure!! Guess it's time to make some silly freek style belly skid so when those front tires are in the air we will still see some of that bling!! lol
just seen this thread.. that porting great man! glad you like it. i have a similiar setup ported by denny at flotek.. they are very impressive for little 200cc engines!
thanx alot homieI:I..it was really a 50-50 chance it was gonna run or flop out...and im quite shocked on how it turned out...i could only imagine what dennys will do with pro hands in there
AG Bell talks about shaving piston crowns to correct port timing in his 2 stroke tuning handbook. He makes the case that for port timing changes you can go too far using the crown of the piston and then throw that piston out and make the permanent changes to the transfers themselves. That way you don't ruin the cylinder by going too far. He doesn't indicate that cutting the piston crown is detrimental to engine life even though he's using the "piston cuts" for a different purpose.
Also, remember vito's "super stock" pistons? They had a 1mm pie cut on the exhaust side to change the port timing and those pistons didn't fail at any greater rate than any other pistons.
I'd say carefully measure the piston and make sure of how much you're going to have to take off. Then carefully take that much off..
I believe he did it NastyN8 style with a drill and then used other rotary tools.
Did he used an angle drill to add the aux ports to the exhaust side???
heres pics of the triple exhaust port job i finished up today on the stock cylinder that will go on my trail blasty, its also adjusted for a +3 crank
Just wondering what you did to adjust for +3 crank?
