Cylinder porting again for 70hp

Post by manosnad »

Any opinion for porting map ? I have read and I have a photo from old site teamsparrow 70hp ,is this possible ?

70bhp at the rear wheel.

Think you must of been in a deep sleep and dreamed this

MJ did once say he got 70hp on a Dynojet, but reckoned that equated to about 64hp on a Dyna Pro.
Might be work asking Ben Ludford, as he built a KR with different rods, bespoke pipes TPS, Powejets and Zeeltronic

70bhp was from a high reading dyno and it was lean at the time of the run, it couldn't have been used in that state.

if it is, your cylinders will certainly crack at the rear where they are bolted to the crankcase. not enough metal.

I have a 4DP TZ250 cylinder and the base flanges are not only 19 mm thick but also have generous fillets; the KR cylinder base flanges are only 13 mm thick and have sharp corners where they join the cylinder. KHI could easily have changed this during the KR's production run, but didn't. Probably they didn't get enough guarantee claims to make them update the castings, which they could easily have done.
If I ever win a huge prize in a lottery I'll have a batch of cylinders cast with proper base flanges. Oh well, at least one can dream......

1991 YZ125 3XJ
main 25.5mm
subs <27mm
transfers <40mm

how much does port chamfer effect port height when comparing motors or data

KR-1 (B): "Basically it uses a pair of secondary exhaust ports which open slightly earlier than the very conservative main port."

the 1990 KX125 was 'rated' @ 38.5PS and used similar F3 KIPS with a bridged exhaust

191° is 84.5 ATDC and 25.9mm main exhaust with 26.8mm subs (187)

^^^ too high

Image

A 50.6 stroke against 54.5mm i have tried to compare like for like using crank angles
A page with the port map dimensions from RS/TZ over multiple years Some Table Data

:idea:
From the table note the Sequential opening of A then B then C transfer ports (B follows A by 2.5°, C follows B by 1.5°)
The vectors of A B and C are directed centre rear of the piston crown to build a pocket of charge as separate as possible from the burnt outgoing exhaust gases.
Note also the 1mm width of divider between A and B transfers .
Image

Look at widening the B transfer on the KR to match the 1mm spec.
Dont narrow the divider between B and C (boost) where the ring end gap runs, instead add filler to smooth out the flow blockage/step of the electrofusion peculiar to KR casting

Perhaps the sub-exhausts should be left alone al together - if they are made wider then the gudgeon hole causes a short circuit between the A transfer and sub port. Perhaps why some karts have triangular subs.

Image

a conclusion you could make without doing a simulation model is...
the standard KR-1 exhaust opens too late ~91.5deg ATDC (the fuel is burnt, work done, the piston slowing on stroke) - should be nearer to 82-84° (192 duration) = 25.7mm ATDC
the standard transfers flow too early (not enuf blowdown - © 2Tinstitute) opening just 25° after the exhaust port.
By raising main exhaust roof alone, this increases the delay (blow down) to 31° after exhaust which is much closer the 32° A-transfer timing found on eg the H0NDA RS125/250.

Start with a conservative main and see how it responds by artificially raising it with thicker base gaskets.

because the KIPS system has no yamaha spool PV or guillotine power valve arrangement you WILL sacrifice low down power if you port to a high exhaust. You will be making a motor with less powervalve benefits.

There has been some vigorous debate here on height of subs in relation to main. The Subs are lower than the main exhaust on the YZ125 and lower on the TZ over many years. Referring to the original 1988 port map of the KR-1, the only reason they are higher than the main is this was a road bike (conservative)
In race tune the main was always meant to be raised - doing this tunes peak power to >11,000 rpm (11,500-11,750 rpm Formula 3 tune) when the OEM transfer heights make more sense.

these timings are only a fraction of the story.
Like on a four stroke, knowing the cam timing is only part of determing how it might perform.
It doesnt tell you the lift or overlap or the size of valves, the shape of ports, compression ratio and everything else that adds up to making most power.

Ben. Who welded those plates to those cylinders. ?
Looking at that photo. I think of Gary and Bernie with the 300cc engines
They are running with nearly 70bhp at the rear wheel.
Gary has spoken to me and is concerned about his cylinders cracking

I also had the area where the base nuts attach welded up and use rotax nuts which are 11mm spanner head. I am no longer in touch with the person that did this I'm afraid Martin.

you are not out of the woods by welding the back, because than the front is the weakest part and they start to crack ...
and remember : welding must be done before plating !
