"PowerFactor" Dry Pipe

[Big Kahuna]

or are you referring to an 89mm bore (+8mm over stock bore size)

 

[SuperJETT]

8mm stroked on 81mm bore gives you 785cc's.

 

[SuperJETT]

bore, stock bore. geek has one, Pat ran one when he won the amateur national title so he was 100% legal.

how do you have an 8mm stock stroke???

Could be an 8mm stock bore which Bogart ran just 2 years ago.

Guys, it's call mis-typing, sorry.

I was just trying to figure out what you were talking about. I remember his words about that motor. Something along the lines of Pissed off Lamey!!!!!!

We've been running "Powerfactor" pipes since April, and all I can say is it is
( By far ) the greatest Bolt On performance gain we've ever made.
There is absolutely no comparison in Bottom to top power/torque to the
B pipe. Not even close.
Its a real cheap way to make a whole lot of power.

heres a nice pic of the pipe on the bench.

not what i consider cheap

Like I said, nice idea.
But no waterbox + small tank makes it unfeasible for me.

News Flash: 'EME pipe' = Powerfactor pipe, Powerfactor is the new company Mark Baxter (formerly of Factory Pipe) has/is forming to do engines/pipes, he is who built the EME pipes.

thanks for clearing that up for me, had no idea.

Its ok we still lake both you guys even if you can't speel.

The first version looked like a type 9 with cones welded for a new diffuser to mate to the type 8 manifold. Now the production version looks like the rear half of an Octane pipe made into a complete stamping using the same tune spec as the type9 or Octane.

 

[Matt_E]

Loud.

I wouldn't call that an advantage.

 

[SuperJETT]

All this talk of what it looks like means nothing, because you're not looking at the inner chamber which is the real 'pipe'.

 

[Matt_E]

I really doubt the water jacket is all that non-uniform.

Weve run them on 785, 860, and 1000cc engines
All with the same great results.

how will they work on a slightly bored 82.5, non stroked, sport ported. like with 44's

I figured I would have to ans that, my fault... was lazy earlier....

I'm defiantly not the guy to ask.... but... I feel....

1. It just seems these were developed for big motors... big bore, stroked, aftermarket cylinders, etc.... paired with big carbs, great electronics....

They were developed because guys with big motors were being held back by the bpipe and needed to modify it to much....

I don't think guys like you or me will benefit from the 2x price of bpipe with our type of motors

Would it work good... YES I'm sure it would be great.. could you spend bits of money here and there and make your motor run stronger before the pipe... yes and that is what I would do....

2. If you are riding surf.. realize you cant run your OEM tank and are limited to like a 2 gallon tank...



Maybe I'm wrong about it all.. it just feels like putting dual 49s on a stock motor....

my 2 cents, others chime in please.....
