Modding pfp chamber

[Robbie8984]

Hi Guys,
My mates pfp chamber has cracked and we have been running it wet by just blanking the water ports on the chamber and fitting a water injection to the manifold.

Would there be much gain in power if we cut the chamber open and remover the inner chamber then welded back up?

SUB interested if any one have done this.

 

[Yami-Rider]

Seen it done before. Not sure if you would gain power, but you would loose some weight.

 

[Big Kahuna]

do some searching. This has been done several times. cannot say if it will work.

@Big Kahuna this has not been done several times, removing the INNER chamber in PFP and run the outer and larger volumen chamber as wet pipe?
I have never seen it on the X, nor heard about it here
I did hear about it from a Aussie guy, i think he reeds here sometimes, runs a KDX with TPE 1105, said it made huge difference going from inner chamber wet, to outer chamber wet.
One of our guys in our riding group just made 2 pipes out of his, he has only testet the inner chamber, hope we soon get a review on the bigger outer chamber.
Will also get a picture of the outer chamber welded back together.
@AdzUK Did you guys test this back to back?

Thanks @Christian_83

The outer chamber looks more like the size of the RRP so was thinking it would give similar results.

Be interesting to hear your findings.

 

[waxhead]

i would be interested in seeing/ hearing the results

 

[chadly]

any update on the results?

 

[CARBONX2]

It works, LSP use it with 2 water injection points

 

[chadly]

does he use the inner or outer chamber? one point at the mani and the other in the wb?

 

[CARBONX2]

Outer.
Beginning of chamber and before mid-section

I have one available already done up by @ChadGnarly if anyone's interested. We have both had success using these on TPE setups

 

[McDog]

You could cut one pipe and make 2 out of it. What a deal!

 

[chadly]

would have to find ends or have a lathe to make some, would be sweet to do.

 

[Big Kahuna]

could most likely buy the ends from XScream.

 

[chadly]

not a bad idea.

 

[mikesx]

could most likely buy the ends from XScream.

Negative ,@Flash-FX tried , Xscream," How about NO".

 

[Big Kahuna]

or find someone with a trashed chamber. Hell, hit up the Nashville crew, there are several trashed pipes unless they tossed them. @TOBY

I've done this on other pipes. I had stampings for various dry pipes over the years and welded up some outers.

Results: The powerband for the same given motor size moves up considerably. You can play with Compression, Timing, water, and Stinger size to some extent but your not going to get a majority of whats gone back. "for the same given motor size"
