QuoteThis system has been tested on stock 50cc motors to all the way up to 240cc monster pitbike motors

240cc?  whoa.  so i can use it on my chainsaw... but not my bike...

Interesting discussion as I've just installed 12:1 forged pistons in my 748s...  But, I'm at 5000+ feet elevation, so we have less air up here.

Interesting to see how it runs up there. You staying with stock cams and intake?


The very high cranking and mechanical compression on that 944 was corrected with a cam change adjusting corrected compression and increasing effective compression around peak torque output (which moved higher up the rev range).
It got me thinking about the relationship between those components including porting and airbox/intake mods. It raises the question of what kind of compression people are talking about.
I suspected the enlarged airbox may have contributed to the increase in effective compression in conjunction with the 900ie cams. Would like to see this motor ported. Gotta get the bike back on the dyno.



I remember decompression levers btw. ;D

Those 12:1's will get you down to the top of Mulholland or thereabouts...

Gotta admit, I enjoyed that.

Craslo, got any info on that DVT?

you mean Ducati Variable Timing? It does have a "decompression" setting built into it . . . Different to 1199/899/959 Panigale . . .

Yes, maybe some factory stuff.
DVT has a "built in" code that depresses one exhaust valve enough to release preasure so that the engine starts easier while the Panigale, has "a lever" that pushes exhaust valve open to release preasure . . .

Stock cams, valves & intake system.  Being of smaller displacement should help w/starting amperage draw.  Should have all the bits to complete it by this weekend so I'll keep everyone posted.
