We must be in the same area, I'm in East Dallas. Still only $4500...

2022-01-19 21:07:01 +0000 UTCI think the obvious answer is two 250cc CBR250RR motors put together into a 19000 RPM V8.

2022-01-19 21:06:23 +0000 UTCYour last video showed a turbo in the CAD model, so I assumed you were going that route to start with. Since you are going for Burkdoll's record, you are clearly going for Gas. You can remove the seal on your gas tank and (without changing anything else) run in the Fuel class which is currently set at "only" 180mph. You may even want to start there...

2022-01-19 17:27:47 +0000 UTCMillyard does some interesting stuff - but, I wonder about the viability of a cut and shut 2 cylinder made from the R1000SS engine - where's the gerarbox drive gear going to fit for eg. Plus, I thinnk I am fairly safe in saying that it might take a *little* while longer to do that than the planned DIY cylinder deactivation I've not got my (oily) hands on one of those motors yet - so can't be sure the idea of 'deleting' the cam finger followers from cylinders 2 and 3 is quite enough.... it seems it should work... and if it does - it has much going for it.

2022-01-19 17:22:16 +0000 UTCso... it's NOT just me :-) I feel better. (The want, is strong - and I don't need a 499cc short stroke 4 cylinder for a project... yet....)

2022-01-19 17:09:54 +0000 UTCBoost is allowed but it puts you in a different class. I might do it later.

2022-01-19 17:04:14 +0000 UTCNo, but I'll look him up.

2022-01-19 17:03:44 +0000 UTCI looked into de-stroking a 600cc to 500, but it was really $$$$ to make a one-off motorcycle crank. Partly because of the fact that they all transmit power to the transmission through a giant gear.

2022-01-19 17:03:08 +0000 UTCMatt, there is a guy on YouTube named Allen Millyard. He does motorcycle engine conversions. He takes 2 4-cylinder engines and turns them into a 6-cylinder engine. Cuts, welds, mills, etc. I'm thinking you could go all out here and cut the center 2 pistons out of your engine. And reweld 1 and 4 together in the same style. Less weight, less size restrictions, less spun mass. Could really take it up a notch. Also is boost allowed?

2022-01-19 15:27:10 +0000 UTCVery interesting engine design. As a small engine builder that makes small engines go stupid fast Iβm interested to see your engine build video.

2022-01-19 11:45:28 +0000 UTCHave you seen what Allen Millyard in the UK does with bike engines? May give you some ideas (#projectcreepbegins)
Jeff Longley
2022-01-19 11:00:37 +0000 UTCHow much time did you already put into thinking about a custom (short throw) crank (and long rods)? THAT would make quite some motor..... I guess it'd only cost about 20x, go about 1.02x faster and take 10x times as long to build..... But, admit it - the want is strong.... OR is it just me?

2022-01-19 08:14:56 +0000 UTCI have too few hobbies, just not enough time :)

2022-01-19 05:38:54 +0000 UTCNot a bad thing, I struggle with it π€£
