TZR125 4DL (track bike)
-
@louis Welcome to the forum,
Really enjoyed your website.
I have a TZR125R/4DL Y-1 3MB-P-00 top end , 134cc, with slightly larger port volume and appropriate port timing with 0.6mm, squish' cylinder head I'm testing.
The compression ratio slightly reduced.
The tuning will be for pump 97 Octane.
I need to tune the ignition and Powervalve timing. I have started with a basic map similar to that of a 4DL and can support there being a potential 2hp increase.
I'm moving on to fitting a TM34ss with WR200 inlet manifold (slightly longer inlet tract) and VFORCE3 Reed block, However I can't isolate better running over a 4DL reed cage.
There is not much information about modified 4DL's and I have always believed that the 4DL Y-1/Y-3 was only good for 22-23bhp in stock configuration?
I have yet to sort out my Dyno run, but I still don't believe it will be making an extra 6hp around 11,000 or so. But I would hope that is possible?
What are your experiences with altering squish height with a 4DL? very interested to gain some insight.
The design for the RR' Airbox is interesting, I am struggling to modify and work out a good increase in Air volume for this engine.

''Really enjoyed your website''
Thanks,''I have a TZR125R/4DL Y-1 3MB-P-00 top end , 134cc, with slightly larger port volume and appropriate port timing with 0.6mm, squish' cylinder head I'm testing.

That is a interesting setup.
0,6mm squish that is pretty tight, going to race specifications.''I need to tune the ignition and Powervalve timing. I have started with a basic map similar to that of a 4DL and can support there being a potential 2hp increase''
Ok that is positive, small step towards more''I'm moving on to fitting a TM34ss with WR200 inlet manifold (slightly longer inlet tract) and VFORCE3 Reed block, However I can't isolate better running over a 4DL reed cage''
Have good results by enlarging the crank case volume a bid so don't thing the longer manifold will be a problem.
34mm carb, that would be the max I think regarding the inlet volume from the reedblock?I have always believed that the 4DL Y-1/Y-3 was only good for 22-23bhp in stock configuration?
Don't know way you guys are all so low on the HP outcome.
In Germany they had to bring back the power to 15HP if a younster (16) want to drive it on the road (drosselt)
They did this by letting the exhaust valve closed, or mound it in restricted mode or by gearing or black box.''I have yet to sort out my Dyno run, but I still don't believe it will be making an extra 6hp around 11,000 or so. But I would hope that is possible''
It will be strange if it won't!!!.
How much do you have right now?
What exhaust do you use, and where does that exhaust peek.10500rpm?''What are your experiences with altering squish height with a 4DL? very interested to gain some insight''
Currently non, I want to change it in the future.
But for now like to see ho far I can go with a relative stock setting''The design for the RR' Airbox is interesting, I am struggling to modify and work out a good increase in Air volume for this engine''
Yes the RR airbox is relative larger than the R airbox.
I'm running the rr airbox without airfilter and snorkels currently.
Mus say until now it works fine like this -
It took me a while to read through the older forum posts (because English is not my home leagues)
Now I know why my positive HP outcome is not taken that well.
I see that a DT125R has already having trouble to reach a 20+I have explained that my 30HP can be reduced to a 27BHP (regarding the settings of the filter's)
This 27HP is with 4 degrees more advange (that gained me about 2HP) so the 'relative stock'' setting would be around 25BHP
And a small note regarding ''relative stock'' is a well setup carb (absolutely not stock)So perhaps with a stock jetting the bike prudes a around 24BHP? (Don't know haven't dyno'd it then)
Hope this takes a way the trouble I have corse.
Not meaning that a nice discussion can bring new ideas.
Example, just measured the 4DL and 3MB servo's
http://www.tzr3ma.com/tzr125-servo-openings-curve.html
Having a 3MB servo on a DT125R would not be perfect if that bike has its peek power at 9000rpm or lower.Just pointing it out
Cheers

@louis I mean I got a 4DL engine with Zeeltronic ignition, underslung exhaust, ported barrel, altered head, VHSA 32mm carb all jetted and mapped accordingly, it's probably around 20bhp at the wheel.

That's my experience with the engine you're describing and it is not 30 bhp.

All those mod's you did gained you roughly 5 till 7HP (going from a stock 15HP DT125R to a+/-24HP)
Having trouble to believe that.
Did you dyno your DT125R?
What ignition curve do you use and what ypvs opening curve?
What is your exhaust length?A 200cc NSU superlux from 1956 has stock 12HP and a tuned DT125R has a 20+
Is it just me that I'm thinking that's a bid lowFor example her is a TDR125 (roughly the same)
4 degrees more advange and some changes
http://www.yam2stroke.fr/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=21900How did they dyno your bike?
-fifth gear or six gear
-Lights on or off
-Tire pressureThere must be a reason way it is (from my point a few) a bid low

@louis No Dyno mate.
You can show me graphs all you like.
The true test is how does it go out on the road.
You can see from that video that this bike is FAR FAR behind that YZ. What's a YZ roughly?
It may very well be different in your country, fuel octane will make a huge difference.
I'm just telling you how it is, these bikes don't make anything near 30 HP.

@Calum To be fair, it is something you need to do.
How will you tune the PV or Ignition timing without a couple of Dyno runs??
Can't just bolt this stuff on and expect the best results.
The data will tell me how to tune it all together the best I can.
Still, a stock (de restricted) Aprilia RS125 and Kawasaki KDX125SR will probably have similar numbers to a tuned DTR.
So waving HP numbers will be kind of pointless anyway.
But mine is lovely on the road so far, considerably more torque!

@Calum Nah, you can be happy getting good enough results after a few power runs. A day would be enough for that.
It's just I can't measure or test progression with a tune that accurately just going up and down the road. Feel isn't enough.
Too many variables.
I've spent far to much just to make do.
Incremental tuning, true could spend weeks on a race tune.
Go balls out, what's left after that? Job done for the summer.

You can not compare that with your DT125R, not at all.
Those engine's start with 32/33HP and most off the time they have performance pars on them as well. Bringing it to mid 30's (pipes, CDI's, reedblocks, etc)
Also gearing is plays up with comparingKeep in mind I'm thinking with you not against you.
You need to know at least the peek power from your bike.
This helps you to set the ignition curve.You aim on a 14 degrees at peek power there it is where it happens.
After peek power you drop it to a +/-5 degrees -
Interesting, most powerful stock from the factory DTR,s are the first 4 years of production. The 1988 models, code 3BN1 is the european full power model sold in France and Italy, code 3FW1 is the Japanese full power model these are all rated at 21.4 hp. The restricted 1988 code 3BP was also sold in France, 3DB1 in the UK.
First of the full power flatslide carb 1989 models are codes 3PY2 for Italy and 3RM1 for France rated 22.9 hp. Restricted 1989 model code for France 3NC1, 3RN1 in the UK. Pretty much stay the same for a few years after.

I sort of understand what calum is saying. But personally, I'd run it by the numbers. I have no experience with rolling roads, Dynos and rebuilding engines etc... But I have plenty of experience with getting the maximum of performance out of computers. Now you can build yourself a nice rig and all and it can run your programs, engines, games or whatever absolutely fine. But if you don't tune your rig and set it up properly, then you're just losing some of the extra kick. And in which case, I then have to go and run the numbers
If you're happy enough with a smooth ride, that's fine. If you want to push it to the limit then you'll need the numbers.

Sometimes thinks do not go as planed.
When you belief in something that hard, and your are convinced that others have it wrong it will take you some time to conceder that they are right.It turns out that my own dyno was not set correct, re calculated my drum an that gave a massive drop in the measurements.
Of course not very nice for me to know, as I thought I was going the right way.
Thankfully don't have a company/ or a tuners name to keep high so a note on my site regarding the wrong setting should be enough.
http://www.tzr3ma.com/dyno-correction.htmlBut specially here I post a personal reaction, because they told me here over and over it is not making a +30HP and I did not belief it.
So my apologies for that.
The trough now is as followed.
After the new settings the HP's where dropping faster than I could think off.
But fair is fair, if this is what it should be, so be it.The results so far
Stock the TZR125 (trackbike) has a 22,3HP at the rear wheel
And with all the mod's i did so far (shortened exhaust, 6 degree more advance, changed carb rubber, open carb) it produced 24,8HP rear wheel.
Currently have changed the head to a O-ring conversion, but need to dyno it first.
http://www.tzr3ma.com/head-to-o-ring-conversion.html
It drops the squish from a 1,3 to a 1mm and combustion volume to a 11,2cc
Hope this will bring me a 1,5 a 2 HP and it end up around 27HP
(not saying it will, but hope it does)After this like to do some other steps but that would probably bring more in the mid section than on peek power
Will let you guys know
Cheers

Will probably feel like a massive improvement in the real world compared to the small increases shown by the dyno

Well standing on two feeds again that's for sure.
The shown dyno curve, are a couple off same runs they always have a small tolerancePerhaps this is a better shown between stock and with the mod's
Orange curve is with ignition filter, that's way its so smooth.
You can see the progress
