YaNa : The rotisserie design beginnings.

YANU Started stripping every thing out, well all that was left..... All that was left of the regulator Some places so thin you can see right through Tarboard comming off.... By heat, easy peasy So some progress made

Did some more work on the rotisserie. Its closer to my liking, almost finished, a few things left to add. Rgrds

I feel for you. I know how it feels like when someone comes and helps themselves to your tools...... Good thing I dont own a gun....

Engine design:

As there is so little information available on engine design, especially with the Type 4s, I purchased a whole lot of software to do my engine design. This is from the fundamentals to Cam, inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, head deign including port sizes, valves and sizes right to exhaust collector designs.

I can now optimize any single component as well as combinations of components. Given the peak HP RPM, the rest can be fitted around that. I can identify, and optimize, any component that chokes the RPM or flow and therefore TQ and HP.

An example of my TIV motor design (about90-95% accurate):
Basic data and HP Dyno data Recommendations for the other components Fundamental performance data (Not HP) Exhaust header & collector design Fuel consumption model Rgrds

Is that,that deskdyno program?wil you be "dynoing" our motors for us on the forum?

Yes it is a desktop dyno, and a host of other things as well, 1/4mile ET, exhaust designer, clutch grip, top speed, power and RPM calc etc etc. I am sure we can work something out, it wont be freebees, it is a huge investment to buy the software. I can run the numbers, or do a design and optimize the components, play with cams etc.

Also planning a flowbench

sarel if i give you my motors stats would you run it for me?just once just want to see what is expected from it?so i can see the differance when i do dyno it oneday,pretty pretty pretty plz.what stats do you need?if i may ask how much does the program knock one back?

Dubster,

Going to start a new thread on this.

Rgrds

A few more goodies on its way over here a deep sump for the motor, the Digi Dash and data logger as well as a few more books Almost ready to ship the body off for the chop as well

Did you ever receive the switch I sent you?

Hi Tony,

Yes I did, thank you, is exactly what I were looking for Ordered mine now. It fell out me bag this morning, better send that back now
