Then there 4 U do the complete opposite 4 the intake. Allowing more air and fuel 2 come in.

Also what I did was widen the chambers on the cylinder to allow more fuel in.

5mm is a small price but pays off in the long run.

Status: offline 		Yeah umm
My resonator thingy is really called an expansion chamber but I just call it a resonator. Cause it makes it sound like a WRX when I put it on. I agree that they help 2 strokes run a lot smoother and gain power. I based my design off the pic. They originated from 2 stroke motorbikes and you also can tune them by cutting the end pipe called a “stinger”. It changes the power band. I oped 2 make it short so I have all top end revs.

“2 strokes have 2 have some back pressure” I agree with that.

I attepted on but failed miserably hahaha please e-mail some plans it would be much appreciated. shorti102@hotmail.com

Status: offline 		Sorry Tim, I didn't notice your question in post #38.

I could have sent you a PM instead, but maybe AERO NUT and others should see this too.

My expertise in turbines is very limited ( almost zilch), but I have been a fitter/ turner/ engineer/whatever, for more years than I want to remember, ( with plenty of qualifications, but qualifications aren't really that important) what is important is understanding the forces, temperatures involved, knowing how to weld and machine things properly, and trying to understand what two stroke porting etc. is all about. - it's actually quite a science, and involves calculations, not just a bit off here and another bit off there!
Still, a turbo on a two stroke! - food for thought.

I was a little harsh before I edited my earlier post, (but it was really directed at AERO NUT who made some unnecessary remarks about those who criticised you). However, he did say "we" - I suppose he was including himself.

Successful inventions don't come from "spurts of wild thinking", - they are more likely to come from "educated guesses" and some "lateral thinking" - plus the odd hunch!.
Many of those people who criticsed your efforts have a wealth of knowledge gained from experience, which is often sneered at or ignored, and are written off as "silly old farts". Maybe you are one too AERO NUT, - I don't really know how old you are.

TIM, I admire your enthusiasm, but please read the book which Rupurt? recommended to you, and as I said , go to night classes and learn to weld and machine properly, there is a heap of info out there already available, if you would just look for it and listen to it, and then maybe you can do "Down Under" proud. - Good Luck!

Im not a motor head like the rest of you guys but Im reading the threads and learning. So help us and not critcize us
Thx Lureman Keep working at it Tim!!!!!!!

Status: offline 		ive often wondered if a person could put a turbo on a weedy engine... but wouldnt the carb have to be on the intake of the turbo? i know on a car, if your gonna use a carb you have to totally enclose the carb to equalize the pressures on the intakes and bowls or have the turbo draw the air fuel mix from the carb and then into the intake... if you just put pressure on the intake of the carb wouldnt it just try and blow the fuel back down the lines into the tank?

Status: offline 		i have personally seen a video of this whipper snipper and it does sound as if the mods have increased the rpm's. You do not need any instruments to tell if there is more power, you can do it by ear.

Status: offline 		Project 5 k is correct. Carb works on principle of vacuum in venturi to draw fuel. Pressurising the carb creats no vacuum. The same reason carbs on dragsters are on top of the blower and aircraft engines with centrifugal and turbo chargers have the carb on the inlet side of the blower.

Status: offline 		You can run a carb before or after a turbo and there are problems with both setups. The venturi will still work, there is still air flow only its at a higher pressure, the trouble comes in when the fuel pump cannot deliver the fuel to the float chamber under operating pressure, A problem that may occur with the walbro carbs is the ambient pressure helps control the diaphragm that controls fuel flow. As far as I can work out the difference between the pressure inside the carb barrel and ambient is what controls the needle valve. If the pressure in the carb is higher than the pressure outside the valve will close and no fuel will be allowed in. This is just my theory and it may be wrong.

Whats ridiculous about trying to help the guy build a worthwhile turbo by offering advise and knowledge.

You just explained why a bowl type carb and diaphram carb won't work properly between the blower and the motor. Only one that will work properly is fuel injection.

Status: offline 		Flypaper, fuel injection is definitely the best way to go. Here's a problem with putting the carb before the turbo. When the manifold pressure is low the needle opens and allows more fuel into the carb, If the the engine was running at full throttle and the carb set to idle the compressor would take time to spool down creating a large vacuum in the manifold which would allow fuel to flow freely into the carb and most likely flood the engine.

Like I said there are problems any way you decide to go but it can and has been done both ways. They even have names Blow-through and Draw-through

Status: offline 		We're getting into a wild debate about layout and why this won't work and that won't work, but to me the priority is the construction of the thing!

How many revs do these turbos operate at? I would hesitate to use even a properly welded up turbine let alone a ( badly ) soldered one!

Rupurt, this guy has made the effort for sure, and all to his credit, but it's a bit much to expect a person to be able to go through life without sometimes being told that he is going the wrong way about it, - that isn't reality! and I reckon, being an Aussie he'll be tough enough overcome any criticism, try even harder and keep going.

Sorry I'm not a "sensitive new age guy"


Don't know what Tim thinks, - he hasn't answered, but Im sure he'll prevail - keep going mate.

Status: offline 		Thanks Rupurt,
I did feel that you'd see the funny side of things, quite frankly I'm more interested in engines than rugby but I do enjoy the big matches sometimes.

I have always wondered what would happen if a two stroke was fitted with a turbocharger, and with a bit of rethinking the layout, redesigning it, doing a proper job with the fabrication and machining, using the right materials, etc. and as Crusty says, using data from those who have gone before, Tim will then be able to tell us with some authority!
