[quote="sgc"][quote="Phat Kat"]Not every one can get 70 out of a litre[/quote]

70 at the wheels? You're doing well [/quote]

oh sorry, I was talkin' crank. Don't have room for a rolling road... woops I've said to much again.

I don't think 70 at the wheels is out of the question, some other guy recons he can get 115 out of a small bore @ the crank. If he can do it..

But then agian I use copper head gaskets and spend too long sniffing thinners so I'm highly questionable........ or am I........

HA,HA,HA. Matt my son I knew you would love those baby engines
You are rougher than me ,at least I did the bike carbys before I tried my test engines.
The carby jets and needles off the cbr 600 are way too small. I very scientifically adjusted the size of the jet, just rammed a 5/64" drill thru them, even needed a bit more. The jets in the cbr 1100 are about .095" but the needles are still too lean. I found that a 1 1/2" SU needle will fit the carby slide with a mod or two.
I have found with the my 1100 engines the best cam timing is almost the same as a 997 cooper. A bit more overlap due to the cam duration. The eng idles nicely ,but pulls like a train.
Have you fitted the original ram tubes that are used with the carbys. I found without them the engine would idle and pull up to 4000 revs but after that was very flat. They work really well with a tube about 4" long and make sure that the air flow to the emulsion tubes and diaphram balance is in good undisturbed flow.
CR slide throttle carbs are magic on them. I have that set of F4 carbys if you want to try them.
Just keep playing around with it and bolt the turbo on it and you will love it. Keep up the good work

Why do have to come in and raid a perfectly good post? Your feux-sincerity is downright sickening.

Other then to brownnose, what is the point of your post?

He probably doesn't understand what you are talking about BIAM, let alone be able to read it due to the excessive "brown" build up on his nose....

BALLISTIC and Blokeinamoke

Ok guys, i think he ges it. And at a guess what you are both doing right now is what he was talking about... This isn't a sh1t flinging contest... I hate a wet blanket as much as the next guy but this was meant to be a thread on Matts latest twinky. Not an excuse for arse kissing or sh1t stiring.

Give it a rest hey.

I'd like to see you do it - welcome to bring any motor you wish along for a run next time. For reference that "other guy" is Graham Russell and here is the dyno sheet from a few weeks back, 998 and single SU:

67.5HP


I'll also add that copper gaskets are crap, but hey yours probably havn't blown cause your not making enough power so they'll probably last a bit longer yet



Instead of talking crap on here and hacking into blokes that have been around the game far longer than you and have nothing to prove i suggest you sit back and listen to them. At the moment you sound like a know it all smart-ass who has too much time on his hands.

“A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.” - Jeremy Clarkson

Mini Mad,

Your probably, right. I Probably do come off as a know it all because

1. I'm new here
2. I have nothing to do with any of the clubs so know one knows me
3. I seem to know too much about everything to really know anything (sounds like everyone on this forum)
4. I seem to make too many posts to really get any work done (seems like everyone in this forum)
5. I'm quick open my mouth
6. I have a way of speaking in a real matter of fact way when really all I'm trying to do is offer an opinion (or in this case a joke)

Look I could keep going but I probably just covered everything you were thinking anyway. I know and your probably right. I do come off as a smart arse at times. Look sorry if I stood on your toes or something. I don't recall "hacking into anyone" though. I normally keep track of my offences. And as far as getting up people who've been doing it for a long time, I have nothing but respect for anyone whose stuck it out as long as them, you don't get grey hairs from sitting in the sun relaxing.
Thanks for the advice. See you around.

EDIT: Wooo, talk about late to the party or back to the future or something. Unlike Josh I'm not an I.T dude, I work for a living, so I only just figured out how to post pictures the other day (its the 5/10/09 now). Here's a thread I started, just for all my budy's like Josh and anyone else who's now wondering what the hell I'm talking about!

http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57617

PS, Sorry Matt for disrupting your thread

I am living proof that is not true

I like his posts..... entertaining and informative...... you've just got to read them twice. Matt wears his heart on his sleeve....some people call it passion.
But one thing.... He's a madman on a keyboard.

Maybe to you, but that's horsesh1t to me... maybe I'm odd but I appear to be able to tell the difference between a good-natured humorous jab and someone being a sh1tstirrer. PK in my books is willing and has plenty to contribute, and I'm listening

As for Matt's posts, they're .. err .. unique Just like the man himself Don't change a thing!

now now kids, settle down in the back seat there or i`ll have to stop the car & you can all walk the rest of the way

I`m funny sometimes hey?

Ok,,, first up, thaks for all the good words & kind wishes & head swelling-ness (as if i needed anymore of that) yes i hope to sort this thing & get a whole pile more go-go all the way through the rev range... i Know there`s way more to come from up the top end cause it is still climbing in power at 6000rpms with no signs of stopping & we`ve already spun it past 7500 on many occasions (yes i know i shouldn`t have but that`s how i work out how lean it`s getting & "Where" its getting "How" lean,,, & that was before we dyno-d it,,, so i already knew where it was rich & lean, just need to sort it all so it`s nice the whole way through

David,,, thanks for the offer of the carbs mate,,, i really appreciate it , big time!!, but you have done way way way too much for me already & i can`t keep up, i`m yet to sort the alloy flywheel & twin clutch stuff yet so let me get this Kwaka carbs set up done first,,, & no i don`t have the original ram tubes (I`m trying to get them tho) as they`re a great piece of kit,,, My dyno tuner has a set of ZZR 1100 ones & they`re the same carby, just the spacings are all out, so his base plate won`t fit & we nearly had a play with the ram tubes on this 998 but it would have been just time wasting cause i was sure to change it to my own set up later anyways,,, & yes i`m aiming for at least 75mm longer in throat length & yes the main jets are allready 190thou , we went up to 200s & it did improve quite a bit, so now we will play with the needles ,,, im still sorting the idle jet & emultion tubes out tho,,, i really want this even smoother & nicer than it already is

BUT!!!! If i can find out how to work my scanner i`ll post this damn dyno sheet , & if i can work out why it`s taken my computer about 500million years to load a new web page i`d be doing it all a fair bit faster

I`m hopeing my good mate & computer legend (Kev-aka irish) may come around tonight & help rid this stoopid computer of whatever alien virus that my niece (Charnce) injested into it during this last week,,, don`t get me wrong here tho, i love my niece to bits , she`s tops, but she keeps downloading i-tunes & Limewire & messenger things & & & & whatever else she can find on the net to play with & now i have a computer that "Used" to work sooper dooper fast like a 1500cc stroker donk,,, now barely fires up a page in half an hour

please bare with me & can you all cross your fingers for me & telepathically will & urge & promt Kev to come around tonight to fix this damn stoopid computer please???



Oh!!! & if i can get 65hp @ the wheels out of this 998, with it still lovely & smooth & drivable,,, well i`ll be a happy man,,, i can see 70hp out of it tho,,, but hey? stranger things have happened

& sorry,,, no turbo going onto this one, maybe the "Other" one in the shed tho

I still don`t really like small bores tho,,, They remind me too much of J-Karts,,, give me a 250cc twin cyl rotax super-kart anyday


OH!!! & BTW, the surf was crap today

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Well done Matt. Finally, for better or for worse, for all those who wanted it (and we all remember those long, drawn out threads), there's a real number from a Dyno. A Dyno that is something of a known quantity (though some might argue it ).

And the number's not at all bad - better than the small bores at the Muster, and better than 6 of the 13 big bores. From an engine that's not really sorted. On a Dyno that is supposed to read pretty much the same. Can't complain about that.

Small bores with a bike head are unexplored territory. cheap power

Matt if you are going for longer ram tubes, what I did on the 1100 eng was to turn a taper on a bit of tube to fit the carb inlet. Weld a 3mm plate on it to fit the carby face. I then tapered bored the inside, the used a old taper roller brg mounted on tail stock and jambed it in and flared the tube.
Where the emulsion tube/jets etc are located drill a 5/8" hole and fit a poly pipe elbow. simple but it works well.



what size carbs are you running 41mm or 45mm. I might be able to borrow a set of kwaka 45 race carbs or find some std ram tubes to suit the 41mm
I found that with the 41mm carbs that at full noise the slides were only lifting to about 3/4 of distance . The emulsion tubes I drilled the holes out with a set of number drills and opened the air control jet out. The needles I tapered too much as every time the throttle was opened the engine puffed a little cloud of black smoke. definately not good fuel comsumption, but!!!!!!

If you need any bits just let me know.

I am sure that you are going to love this donk the more you play with it and then you will start thinking.Hmmm blower??? ,turbo?????. you can not help your self.
