Ya I wish........

Took some time to understand the tuned ex on this eng.

It is ass backwards to a single cyl eng. The ex chest as thy call it shares 3 cyl on each side. The firing order makes 2 cly in each side a paired set as thy call it. the ex pulse from one opening plugs the ex on its mate.

Then the scavenging is done on each side of the chest with a tune pipe.

Ex timing and transfer timing mean a lot in how the eng plugs the cylinder. Also the volume of the chest and the distance between the paired cylinders to set the RPM that the pugging happens best.

My head was spinning trying to figure it all out and make the changes to the eng.

Here is the custom tune pipe on this eng build. Also the cutting in the chest and timing changes on the sleeves I hope will all pan out.

I will finally have a 100+MPH boat..............Difference is I will be in it.........LOL

Interesting!!!, if it doesn't work out U could always turn them into a couple of heavy duty (HEARING AIDS) EH

[Robert Pickard]

Foley needs some compitition get that thing done

 

[dwilfong]

You know it is funny every one keeps saying get that thing done. Not just on here but every one that knows about this boat.

I am in no rush to finish it. Good things take time and patience to do.

But when it is done it will be a perfect as I can make it in my eyes.

The fun is in the building and anticipation of what it will be when it is done.

NO ONE has ever done what I have to a Hydrostream Vector. It is one of a kind. So it will be treated as one.

This is a labor of love for me. Not just a boat rebuild.

So you all just hold on to your hoses it will be done when it is done...........................SOON I HOPE.................LOL

 

[BigChuck]

Looks like a Hydrostream now.
