finally got my engine back in!! yay

Just spent a week fitting loads of new engine parts and felt like showing them off! It was my frist time taking the engine out, which I quite enjoyed, my engine was all original before and now its like this.....







it goes alot better, i'm quite pleased with it, sounds lush with my new tailpipes! just fitted a new stock exhaust, and new heat exchanger along with everything you can see in the pics

looks nice and bling forgot to ask you to run it last night i wanted to hear it roar

put it this way, its quicker than mine!!

Check out that bad boy, when i first got it!

i'm likin that oil bath buddy!

well still got it if u want m8!!

oli does your motor still look like a 1200

No, dont think so. Never seen a 1200, could nt tell the difference! I havnt changed much except the coil, air filter, hosing, and leads!

what size is it 1300 or 1600

your engine looks sweet dude

don't know if ya mean mine or oli's so i'll tell ya both dion's = 1600
oli's = 1300

cheers buddy! would have gone for twin carbs but can't efford them or the mpg, but the little power increase has left me gaging for more!

That sounds dirty you dirty bugger.

Looks sweet mate, if only bob looked like that ( and he might do sooner than you think!)

if uni has told me any any thing that twin ict would give you the smae mpg as before but with more power. the less distence to the cylinder keep the fuel/air mix cooler, decrease fuild loses and prevents the ventrai effect.

but i could be talking total ball(normal do)

does look super cool man!

I am not sure but I do know that the shorter the manifold the less torque there is therefore a single carb engine is torquier than a twin ICT motor

I was told by someone who used to build race engines that the stock style manifolds where crap cos there so long the fuel starts to evapourate hence twin carbs being 50 time better on fuel and make for a better running engine.

and I have been told that the longer the inlet manifold the less atomisation of fuel and air mixture.......therefore less bang for your buck..............COR!!!.....we should write a book ....maybe not,we'll only get taken to court

Surely shorter manifolds with twin carbs are the best way to go??

also on the stock manifold the mixture draw speed drops to nothing over such a long route to the cylinders!

That what i think i was trying to say, it the reason why on the single carb manafold there is the pipe for the exhaurst to prevent icing up. But as the engine come on temp you will still be heating the oncoming fuel, not good as you wont the fuel to be as cool as possible; even lower then air temp if possible to get the best heat trasfer and best thermal efficiency.

yeah what you said

yer isn't it - the cooler the air and fuel mixture is, the more dense it is, therefore more power??

but then it come down the the stoichiometric ratio which ideal needs to be 14.7:1. As to much fuel wont create the flame front in the cyilinder or worse wont burn at all. it all aboutheat tranfer the cooler it come in the less energy is lost as heat and that energy can be used to swinging the conrod round with the extra energy avalible.

right i am going to bugger off and be boring some where else.

(how to kill a thread!)
