dajogejr Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Several ways to skin that cat. You don't have to have a pingel.... I'm running a stock fuel valve, and a 45 dollar snowmobile style Mikuni hi flow fuel pump. I'm not taking chances... Of course, you need fuel pump style carbs for it, but...39PWK fuel pump carbs used can be had for under 300 most of the time... You can get a pingel, larger bowls, remove a float...etc. For the simplicity of a fuel pump though, they're hard to beat. Quote

You can get a pingel, larger bowls, remove a float...etc. For the simplicity of a fuel pump though, they're hard to beat. I should have been more specific, Here's the current fuel setup: The only thing I would need to change to go to alky would be injectors and the filter, so its not that big of a pain in the ass. I eventually want to turn it into a strickly drag bike but it would still be fun to fuck around on before I start changing the suspension around. This is going to be a boosted motor so switching to alky seemed to be the best way to prevent the motor from blowing apart. And even if I use twice the amount at $2.50ish a gallon, its still cheaper than the almost $12.00 a gallon for C16 which I would have to run. And even with C16 I won't be able to run as much boost compared to alchohol. I was just seeing if it would be possible to take it out for some hillclimbs before it becomes a strictly asphalt drag bike. :shrug: Quote
wesw Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 oh your the guy with the turbo hows that setup going you stopped post on that thread it was quite interesting. Quote
Whitey Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Posted January 30, 2007 oh your the guy with the turbo hows that setup going you stopped post on that thread it was quite interesting. Its going pretty good. The fuel injection is running pretty good which was the main hurdle. I'm still trying to work out all the bugs before I put the turbo on. Right now I'm worried about knock becuase I don't have control of timing (besides a timing plate) so I was thinking it might be good to start with alky right from the beginning. Quote
dajogejr Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 I think it's pretty safe to say you are a prime candidate for a programmable Dyna igntion...due to your unique build. I thought this was a "gonna be turbo" bike Whitey, I rememberd the impressive write ups... SHit, if you can get a turbo tuned in, alky will be a complete breeze. Turbos are fun, finicky as all hell though. Quote

Well hopefully with the fuel injection it won't be as finiky (at least that was the plan) the ECU does have the ability to control timing, its just another project onto itself. I would like to get rid of the CDI all together. Quote
wesw Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 is there any way to rig up like a knock sensor like on cars to sense when det. happens to back timing down.??? Quote

My buddy had a turbo shee, alky, but carb'd. He'd have to adjust it a few times a day, for temps and humidity...he just got rid of the bike/motor in fact.... Now he's gonna put a Tyson turbo on a YFZ...which, makes pretty impressive numbers to say the least.... Quote
Animalman294 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I'd like to see that run.................. Quote

A Banshee motor is way too noisely to use a knock sensor on IMO. And plus they are kinda like snake oil, they never really function like they should. The timing will get figured out I just haven't looked into it that much, since there was so much other shit I had to do first that took forever. :: D'oh...sorry, Whitey, FI is so rare, I keep forgetting the setup you have.
