We have been extremely busy doing other peoples engines that our own have taken a back seat. We are also waiting on some parts from the USA to arrive as our current stock has gone into customers engines. We should have some more results up in the next few weeks. Tim Sorry guys.

Please can you give us some more ideas to play with!!! I am prepared to spend the money but I want to see that I'm going to get results.

]]> Comment on Test 2 Paper element removed from air filter. by admin http://www.prokartengineparts.com/blog/?p=29#comment-8 admin Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:50:29 +0000 http://www.prokartengineparts.com/blog/?p=29#comment-8 We then removed the paper element of the filter for test 2 with the following results: As you can see we get a peak HP of 6.728hp and an average of 6.560hp for the three runs. The paper element therefore does not seem to restrict airflow as bad as we thought. however in a race situation with air rushing past at speed this may produce different results. We plan to next test with no air filter or air filter cover attached to see if this makes any difference at all. This will be followed by removing the standard exhaust and fitting an MSA debaffled exhaust. The engine will then be in full MSA spec. We will then fit the pulse pump and see if there is any difference between this and the tin top gravity fed tank.

We have however managed to do the first two tests. First we ran the engine in on the dyno after giving the engine the once over when it came out of the box. We had planned on doing a dyno run with the governor mechanism still fitted but it was a waste of time as we couldnt get the engine to rev well enough to do a proper run. We therefore decided to strip the engine down and remove the governor mechanism and tap the block ready for a pulse pump. At the moment we are currently using the tin top fuel tank but will swap this over soon. G4 valve springs were fitted and valve clearances set to 3thou exhaust and 2thou inlet. The engine was then put back on the dyno, warmed up and a few runs taken. You can see the results below. As you can see we get a peak HP of 6.713hp and an average of 6.575hp for the three runs.
