the above barrel is not finished

ive added exhaust bost ports like the tzr sp to a spair barrel ive got im also makeing the transfer ports huge and planing on matching them to the crank case

im thinking it would be wide to add a bigger carb aswell

Throw it away and buy a new standard barrell, £100 says it runs like a bag of shit with your 'improvements' Laughing

The boss at Yamaha is kicking themself.

He's just fired their entire R&D department and hired a retard with a dremel.

I have a two stroke tuning book, and it's the most complicated thing I've ever read, I was seriously lost after the first two pages.

That'll never work properly.

Hands up for rings bust in seconds...... Embarassed

You do realise that sometimes small is better, as it increases the speed of induction,which leads to better air/fual mix and more bang per buck. Make it bigger and while in can increase the capasity for more air flow. It does not mean it will, it won't be mixed enough, or will actually decrease power.

If it was so easy, do you not think that there would be no need for larger cc kits for bikes Rolling Eyes

Still nice try Karma

This is on a level with the guy who used water the flush out the engine of his mustang, or the guy who ran sand through his intake to port his car. Laughing

Why?

You could get a bike that makes a lot more power (in 125cc or higher) that weighs less and will be much more reliable than your modified bike?

So why bother making your bike likely incredibly unreliable - seeing your pictures I'm afraid this is one of the few times I can justify using Laughing as I did.
Do keep us updated, otherwise people will naturally assume the worst - be nice to see some 'after 1000 mile' pics of the barrel!

Yamaha is da 2 stroke powaaah masters innit tho...

I take it you didn't do any sorts of calculations at all, just went nuts Rolling Eyes

From what I've read, even if you slightly enlarge the inlet and exhaust ports, only real masters even think about touching the transfers..

If you felt that passionate about it, why not just start by cleaning up the castings, trimming gaskets to fit perfectly etc etc before going all Two Stroke Dremel Massacre on its ass.....

I've seen mods like this actually work. You'd be surprised how useless the R&D of most Jap manufacturers is...which is how the vast Honda corporation came to launch a major new bike which destroyed its motor because of a glaringly obvious yet simple to rectify fault (VF750).

Main problem you have is that the port isn't cast. Drilling a new hole rather than working with what's already there will probably cause complications. I'd be surprised if one of the rings didn't catch, but then who knows.

At least this guy is showing some spirit of adventure, instead of just getting some tedious plastic clone bike. People used to do mad shit like this quite often in the 80s. Now and then people come up with something sensational (I can remember the idea of putting a Powervalve 350 motor into an RG250 chassis being dismissed as idiotic...until someone tried it and it actually produced a bloody good bike Laughing ).

Having said that, I do think the motor will probably destroy itself after half a mile. Either that or produce about 40 horsepower and go like the clappers Laughing

Just drop in a dt200r engine (30-33 bhp) if you can find one.

i have about 5 spair dt barrels i can aford to fuck one up!

the barrel on my bike i have cleaned up the transfers matched ports to the crank case, matched the exhaust to the it made a little improvement

i have not rased the exhaust pot at all

here are some pictures of somone elses atempt but with much better tooling

if you want more top end zing and narrow the power band you need to raise the exhaust port, easiest way on my rd's was to put 2 bottom barrel gaskets on and either skim the head to get the lost compression/volume back or just dont fit a head gasket ! that works on some but not all engines especially water cooled motors, i had my rd500 done by stan stephens donkeys years ago and the difference in power was amazing but looking at what he did you couldnt actually see any difference apart from all the transfer ports were polishes to a nearly mirror smooth finish, 2 strokes tuning is an art but when done properly on a decent motor is wicked, if you want decent power go look around for a 125 moto-x engine ! pretty easy to fit with a few engine mount mods and you will have a screaming demon Razz

The irony being that polishing the ports like that was probably just done for show.

All the best

polishing of all the ports was to remove all the stippley bits of ally from the original castings, all the ports were re-profiled but all transfer ports are polished to get as smooth an air flow as possible, if you look at a std barrel all those stipples have the air flow bounching all over the place, if you get a chance to look at a race motor 2 stroke the transfer port galleries are like polished mirrors.

Hi

As I understand it the rough finish on ports is actually a marginal benefit. Stops the airflow "sticking" to the walls. Same effect as the dimples on a golf ball. But people who have paid to have an engine tuned like to see the polished effect to think they are getting their moneys worth.

All the best

Strange and rather hypocrictical post from you there, being as you are usually normal and advocate stock pipes and filter boxes. Stock porting (especially on Yamahas) is a compromise designed to blend piston life with good road manners. While these characteristics can be changed, there is no such thing as a free lunch, plus just hacking at ports wildly (like the OP) might just make it both slower and less reliable, as well as being horrible to ride. I once had the pleasure of stripping an LC which had homebrew porting. It had a powerband you could shave with, blew up every other week and was no faster than stock. New bottom end and a set of stock barrels later it was fine.


Hypocritical how? I'm all for mental mods being tried...so long as it's not on my bikes Laughing

I don't think the OP has just hacked wildly (though maybe he's being a bit overoptimistic). I can see what he's trying to achieve and it might even work, after a fashion.

Me and a mate co-owned a DT125LC in the late 80s and tuned it for an indicated 115mph (not on the standard clock Laughing ). We did all sorts of barking stuff, but it did kind of work. I was the one riding it when the con rod snapped and the piston ripped the head and a large portion of barrel away. We had tremendous fun while it lasted, though.

Sometimes it's good to just throw caution to the wind and do something insane Laughing

This is cool ... Thumbs Up

Have you checked that the ring end pins (and chance the end gap) aren't now running over a port*???? if they are, then don't even bother running it!! Wink

If not, then go ahead!! Thumbs Up

You might also want to consider some transfer windows in the piston or cutting a bit of skirt off to increase inlet duration ..

You also need a free flowing 'zorst ... and some bigger jets no doubt! Very Happy



*probably on the back side to be honest - not where you have been playing - but worth a check! Thumbs Up

i have trimmd of the bottom of the cilender because it interpts the flow from the reeds and had no use as the piston never makes contact with it

im thinking of adding a 1mm thick alumineum base gasket because when the piston is at tdc it still dose not become levle with the bottom of the ports i will ned to get some matereal trimmed of the head or barrel to get back the lost compression
