I'm not sure if I can make it to Cadwell. No fair!

If I am free though I'll be there. Who's riding?

Well i managed to race it myself this weekend.

Traction on corner exit is very nice compared to before;)   Very easy to control when it slides.

Well now you have it sussed......

How hard is it to apply the technology to other bikes?? Could you make my CBR600RR have 120HP Big Bang, for instance?

I see no reason why not.  I get 130+ out of them in standard firing order so would expect at least 120 in big bang.

Starting the thing in not the easiest, i need to look into improved starter motors perhaps off the bigger bikes.

ECU is the next hurdle.  I managed to fudge it on the original ecu but switched to Motec for the 2nd motor just for more control.

But at the end of the day, anything is possible within reason and budget.  The project aim was to create a big bang for next to no money.  Not only did it work, it worked really well and became a competitive racebike.

Once it is sold, i will start a fresh and equally obscure project.  Looking for ideas input if anyone wants to throw some in.

magnetic valve train.i think i talked about before here,and someone posted a link to a hobby site that made a little mag valve train engine that was cool.i think it has huge possibility for variance like:variable valve timing throughout the rev range,even switching up firing orders mid range.no mechanical crap in the way,less power loss to valve train-unless that is all negated by the need for a bigger generator,alternator,stator coil,and of course valves could get munched should something fail-so much for no mechanical crap...

what about the rotary valve concept as tried by roton ? i know its not a new  ,but it doesnt seem to be making the headlines i thought it would .

would it be feasable for you to try it or is it cost inhibitive as a small project ?

does anyone know how the bike fitted with the roton motor got on ?

There was an article in race engine technology about it some months back.  Its very advanced now.

Has anyone seen the twin inlet port design that gives good swirl?  Anhared Design are working on it.
