I'm using MOTA software to work out the engine tuning. It has an animated wave display that shows purity and temperature through the pipe for the duration of the cycle at a given RPM. By the looks of that, the EGT should be about 150mm from the piston (about the hottest part of the pipe) and the O2 ...

Hey Paul, I took a look at your website (which is great, by the way) . You seem to have your EGO bung about 300mm from the exhaust port. I'm just wondering if you had an expansion chamber on it as well when you were running it like that? All I can see from the photo is what looks like a straight pip...

Thanks Paul.

If someone was to build a motorcycle running on diesel, would there be a diesel class for it to run in or would it just run in the fuel class?

Thanks Greg. Any idea what would be a good EGT to shoot for with an air cooled two stroke on methanol? I'd have thought around 1000 deg F (540 deg C) would be about as hot as I'd want to get it. Presumably it also depends where the probe is in the pipe as to what kind of accuracy one gets. Likewise ...

Thanks, Paul. That computer you're putting together there looks cool. Lots of work in that. Good luck with it. Yeah, I bought the lot. In for a penny ... and as I alluded to before, it'll hopefully pay for itself in pistons I don't have to buy. The GPS option is expensive when compared with buying a...

I've just invested in a Mychron 4 2T. I looked around at heaps of data loggers for two strokes and it seems to be about the best value for what I want. http://www.aim-motorsport.se/aim_mychron4-2t_lowres.jpg RPM, CHT & EGT as well as Lambda plus GPS speed and mapping. Can download it all into th...

It's been a busy year. Sadly not with bike building. I finished uni and started a new job. So after 3 years in the financial wilderness, I have an income again so I can continue the build on this bike. Still on track (and now on budget) for 2014 speed week. I've ordered all the gear I need for the f...

Ahhh ... NOW I geddit.

Thanks guys.

Chris.

The rules read differently: 1.F QUALIFYING: To qualify for a record attempt, a vehicle shall exceed the existing record by at least .001 MPH. Only one person is allowed in a vehicle during competition. The number of qualifying runs allowed each vehicle is unlimited; however, any vehicle or driver co...

As far as I know, it is just the top speed. This info is only useful to yourself, as no GPS speeds/records are recognised anywhere. I would say the GPS track is good for your testing and tuning before you go out on the long track. Except the class I'm racing in means I'll never get over 175mph (as ...

Hi there,

The GPS track. What is it that the GPS unit records? Top speed? An average speed between two set GPS points? Is there a timed zone?

Are we simply trying to go as fast as possible for a moment or do we need to maintain a speed over a set distance like on the long track?

Thanks,
Chris

That toilet needs a turbo.

I'll take it if you've still got it.

Yep, a laptop is required to program the Ignitech.
