Meaning of jet sizes
« on: November 10, 2012, 04:48:05 PM »
Hi All,

I what to know the sizes of the holes in the jets in mm i.e 110 = what, so I can re drill the jets i have until i hit the right number.

I have built a new exhaust system to quieten the 550/4 chop down, 2 into 1 into a common silencer box under the frame but know it runs rough. (needs more fuel).

With 4 straight throughs, it went like a scolded cat, but it was way to load.

With the new system it is whisper quiet (and before anyone says its to restricted the silencer is of a re direction type. Newton third law and all that).     

Thanks

Paull

Normaly, if you restrict the exhaust you need less fuel and if your mains are 110 they are way oversize compared to standard

Hi Bryanj,

The pipes are none restrictive, they have been engineered too oppose sound waves against each other.
The design is simple but very effective.

I have 98 mains and it ran very will indeed.

Because I have re engineered the pipes in such a way that they scavenge a lot more gases out of the exhaust ports by creating a low pressure bridge between exhaust into the pipes and out of them , leaving a space for more fuel air mix making for bigger bang and more power.

This is the theory anyhow (I have done a mathematical model of it and it should work well).

To answer your question, I believe that 110 = 1.1mm

I've never done it though...
