Sorry for the long delay getting these valves made. They are now ready, I just need to pay for them and they will post them out to me.

I am currently unable to get online at home after having no end of ISP and pc problems so my posts may be infrequent and erratic for a while. Apologies in advance.

I will pm invoices out as soon as I'm able to those who have already put their names down for a set. I have a two or three sets spare that I'm happy to sell on a first come first served basis :D

Mark.

Excellent, thanks Mark.
Another job well done. =D> =D>
I'll await your PM.. 8) 8)

Interesting reading the story on Cathcarts motor with the 2mm oversize valves and 12.5:1 flat top piston set up.
They used a std ECU and just retarded the timing by 4* obviously at the pick up from the crank to deal with the extra compression.

Ok thanks to Cobba, for trawling through his pm's. I have quoted him a price of £93 for a set of 4, so that is the price for everyone on the forum. I should have these in my hand by the end of the week and will get firm postage costs for UK,Australian and European destinations which will be insured and signed for.

I will post up these details on this thread when I have them.

Mark.

Yet one of the lads racing his Trx here has set his up with the 2mm oversize exhaust valves on a std motor. Bit of head work and FCR's and Akra system.
I got an idea he found 93rwhp which it 3 - 6 more hp than most in similar trim without the valves.
I'm sure if he chose a free flowing exhaust he'll be close to 95...
Akra system struggles a little after 7,000rpm but plenty of balls at 4,000rpm.

Hmmm, a healthy power output but surely you would need some extra lift and duration on the cams to get the best out of them?

Quite a few factors start coming into play as I'm sure your well aware there Colonel Sanders.. :lol: :lol:
What do you want out of your motor and what do you have to compliment???

You may find shrouding issues with the larger 2 mm valves so robbing Peter to pay Paul with Kent cams may spread a much more even power output throughout the rev range if that's your goal.
Or a Curmi has done using an Akra system with a std motor/2mm o/s valves.

Those I've spoken to who raced here on their TRX's back in the day had there bikes set up with 2mm oversize valves, Arias pistons, Over/V2 profile cams and Over exhaust all found between 112-116hp.
They all worked together well from 6,000 to 9500rpm.

Im tending now to change exhaust to an Over system because I'm loosing a couple of Extra HP in the top end due to the Akra exhaust. But i have oodles of the mid range being well complimented with the 1mm o/s valves, Kent cams, rolling mass removed internally on the motor and with the Dymag wheels so its a worthy sacrifice with the bike now being dedicated to more trackdays than on road riding.
( I'm putting out the peak Hp of a std Trx at 4400rpm / torque at 4100rpm )
So I'll feel I can afford the happy medium between outright horsepower and mid range grunt.
