Thanks for the answer. That helps.
The piston thing? I learned that at a much younger age. Heated a piston in the same oven as my freshly painted cylinder for my dirt bike. I wanted to see how much it actually grew when heated to 550 deg F. I found out. It also wasn't round when cooled...
This may be easy for some of you, but I have a question regarding a peice made from aluminum and what happens as a result of thermal expansion. The part is machined from stock and is approx 6" X 2.5" x40" It is also cut in an arc. It is the radius of a 40" circle.
If specified to be machined...
Hi guys,
Does someone actually make/sell such a computer/board? The reason I ask is because there are many papers but, to build such a device including programming the processor and hoping I don't goof the matchs, and building up the breadboard, then creating the amp/speaker systems sounds...
OK, so here’s my goofy idea. I need to reduce noise in a dyno room. The machines will not have to be completely quiet. Just MORE quiet than they are now.
The worst part of dyno tuning is the step and hold testing where engines are held at constant rpm regardless of load. The dyno will...
Less vibration above 3K than my GSX-R1000. Buell's uniplanar engine mounting system works well. Shakes a great deal at idle but not once the engine spins up to usable rpm. I could go 112 hour days with my wife. Infact she likes the Buell better than the 'Busa for sport touring.
Expect about...
As a Buell owner I can tell you the following:
vailability of reasonably priced parts. I know aftermarkets are few and far between.
Stock parts are chesp. Import dealers almost never price at retail. At the shop I worked we marked up retail 3x. Harley Buell parts are usually retail. i.e...
14.7:1 is stoichiometric (meaning scientifically correct) but peak power never occurs there, as combustion chambers in almost every engine require more fuel for peak power. Tune an engine for 13.5:1 and measure the torque then lean out fuelling to 14:7:1 and check the power. You will see a...
The dyno should have at least a wideband O2 sensor to sniff exhaust gas during the run. The carbs should be synced prior to showing up at the dyno. It should also have a good and properly operating ignition system. If you can be fairly certain your cylinders are all breathing and firing in a...
Thanks for the suggestions guys,
What happened is that two legs of the 208 failed operate correctly.
A buck boost was installed an used two phases of the 208 feeding the buck boost. Still failed to operate correctly.
When used with a single leg of the 208 and neutral to the input of the buck...
Please excuse my ignorance, but I need to convert a three phase 208 building to operate a system that requires 220vac.
Back ground:
I understand that 220 vac in the USA operates two 110 leads 180 degrees out of phase and 208 has its out puts at 120 degrees of phase shift. This was why I...
If your dyno is an inertia dyno, it won't use water. It could be an inertia dyno with a water brake attached for steady state/ step and hold testing.
I agree that air flow through the room is of utmost importance. Plan on feeding 150 cfm of fresh air for every 100 hp. Then add to that 900...
Hey Jayskind,
Not sure where you are, but I would love to work with you on the turbo system dyno tuning.
I have a small dyno room in NH and Buells are part of my interest (I own a modified M2 that I now call an M1W)
Good luck w/the project.
Also consider that the Fuelers are not looking for more power right now. Tuning fuel delivery and clutch is the most important thing. At 8,000 hp the guys are having a hard time NOT breaking the tires loose. That's with a single speed trany.
This past year had many examples of fast guys...
You would have to add about 70% more power to an RC51 to get that kind of velocity....along with the proper gearing and testing/tuning for peak mph.
It was the pilot's screw up...piloting a moving Cesna, clocking two motorcycles (CBR600 and RC51) and keeping track of who crossed what line on...
