CBR250RRi - Santa Pod Drag Strip
I took the CBR250RRi (and myself) to the drag strip for the first time!
Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best and I only got 2 runs.
This is the 2nd run. I managed the 1/4 mile in 14.4361s at 93.33mph.

Improved Port Throttle MAP Signal - Project CBR250RRi
Переглядів 3473 роки тому
In this video I investigate an issue with fuelling consistency in the low speed & load region of engine operation on the fuel injected CBR250RR. The investigation leads to an attempt to improve the MAP sensor signal quality and eventually designing and testing a new MAP sensor module.

This video is a walkaround of my fuel injected Honda CBR250RR mc22 motorcycle project, nicknamed CBR250RRi. The project started out as an experiment in getting the bike running on EFI using a Microsquirt ECU but over the years has grown into a lot more.

CBR250RRi First Ride
Переглядів 1,8 тис.10 років тому
First ride of my CBR250RR with EFI conversion. Prior to this the engine had just idled and statically revved with no load. The first part of the video shows a slow build up of revs in first gear, attempting to hold relatively steady throttle and revs at various points in order to build up a log of the fuelling. Circa 6,000rpm with low throttle openings sounds quite rough at the moment (0:30 in ...

CBR250RRi idle after throttle synch
Переглядів 69810 років тому
The high idle was cured by balancing the throttle bodies. Further adjustments to the idle pulsewidths meant I was able to get a smooth idle at about 1,700 RPM. The O2 sensor is not reading properly as I suspect there is a leak in the exhaust at the headers which will need to be fixed before continuing. Even though the VE table is still basic with no refinement made so far, throttle response off...
CBR250RRi First Start
Переглядів 97310 років тому
Short video of the first start of my CBR250RR EFI project. I had made several start attempts before this. The idle is high and rough but it runs. I later found out the roughness was caused by one spark plug cap not being connected! And the high idle was due to the throttle bodies being very far out of synch.

FYP Pulsejet Test 6
Переглядів 78714 років тому
This test used a 0.006" petal valve and a 53mm diameter washer which shortened the length of the original valve by 12mm and thereby increased the natural frequency of vibration of the valves to a more desirable level while keeping the static stiffness low enough to allow static operation.. The engine ran without air supply for 1.5mins before cutting out. After the engine had cooled down, the va...

    Awesome project, very nice improvements. I'm competitively racing my MC22 here in California and would be fond of a Ohlins shock. May I please ask for any info you have on your Ohlins shock to get my suspension builder started. There should be a number on the shock body, or any pictures of it before it went on the bike. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks

    • @twillinger
      @twillinger Рік тому

      A bit late I know sorry! The shock is a S46HR1C1 base. The key thing is that the top mount cannot be aluminium as there isn't the clearance to the frame for an aluminium top mount. Really, I just dropped the bike into the local Ohlins dealer and left them to spec and manufacture the shock how they saw fit. Hopefully you get sorted with yours!

    • @twillinger
      @twillinger Рік тому

      Hi. The only parts I fabbed were the wheel spacers. Everything else fitted with different sized bearings. The top stem bearing was special as the standard size is a bespoke Honda size so I needed to find something with the ID of the Suzuki stem and the OD of the Honda bearing. I did have to cut away part of the nose fairing and false air ducts to give some clearance. More details and photos of the conversion in this forum post: www.cbr250.com/threads/project-cbr250rri.7307/post-294714.

      @@twillingeryep just finished the whole process, works great, just needs about 5mm more steering angle to clear the handle bar lock. I’m really interested now in potentially designing a new airbox that uses the ram air ducts on the sides of the fairings but I’m not sure if I should stick with using carbs and if that will work well enough, or take the weight penalty and try and make a EFI system based of yours for it. Should definitely help top speed power with that extra 1psi of air pressure 🤣

    A friend who is an Automotive Engineer & motorcycle mechanic got his Tyga MC22 running on Microsquirt in a matter of weeks about 18 months ago with great success using measurement & mathematics & did cylinder head work & machining to make it optimal for 98 octane unleaded , increased compression ratio modifications were done . We increased valve lift slightly . Race grade top of engine parts were made / used & he raised the rev limit by 2,000 RPM above the factory benchmark which our oscilliscope told us was 16,900 RPM before work began . We had a power increase of about 16-18 % . The friend has completed a second one during Covid lockdown as he had spare time & had extra sets of parts he made & purchased on standby beforehand from the first motorcycle which allowed him to convert my companion rider ( track ) MC22 to the same configuration as his in two days as he knew the procedures .The dyno test was the same for this bike also . He will be doing this to a Yamaha FZR 250 in two weeks .Parts are already prepared & I will ride the converted Yamaha on my birthday soon at the track alongside him riding my Tyga .I am sure the bikes will be fun to compare . I personally like the Yamaha FZR engine sound as it is more raw than the Honda , that has all it's gear driven cam harmonics which cause me back pain after a while riding it . The Yamaha does have EXUP valve installed . I loved doing the first prototype Tyga EFI conversion last year with my friend . It helped strengthen our friendshp &:it was fun & I learned a lot .

      The Yamaha FZR 250 3LN1 was converted to 98 octane fuel optimised configuration but with standard grade new engine components with the EFI conversion & the Microsquirt system applied . Compression ratio was raised from 12.0 to 1 TO 13.5 to 1 . The same as the two MC22's . I will ride this set-up on Monday 11th April . We have acquired a second FZR 250 3LN1 which is white & light blue which we will refurbish so that I can use it for private transport . It will be handed to me on my next birthday . A cylinder head had to be made up overseas & sent here for some machining to achieve the compression ratio change . The same had to be done for the MC22 Tyga's . This was the reverse of the changes from earlier 1990's MC22 models to the watered down 'R' series of 1994 . The black 3LN1 was upgraded , the white & light blue one for my private use will be close to standard with minor refinements only .
