Dynojetting?
bitsilly - 3/7/08 at 12:21 PM

Can anyone tell me how I can tell if my R1 engine has the correct Dynojet set up (if it has one at all!)
Is there a best type of kit for the R1 in a car and any idea how to tell the difference?
Cheers

The type of dynojet you require depends very much on factors like your inlet manifold, exhaust etc etc.

The only real (ie proper) way of finding out if you have the right jets is to use a wideband sensor or an emissions tester to see what the mixture is like at different loads and different RPMs.

I set mine reasonably well on the road, by driving at different engine speeds and throttle openings in different gears. I tried stamping on the throttle and rolling it open slowly. I changed the jets and needle positions one by one, noting the results. Once it was OK under all conditions, I took it to a rolling road and they ran it on their machine. I was able to fine tune it based on their recommendations.

If you've got lambda sensor holes in your exhausts the simplest thing though is to borrow, beg or steal a WB Lamda set-up. Drive around under various conditions and get someone to have a shoofty at the screen on the dial and record the lamda under various conditions....
Don't forget jetting is usually a compromise and usually involves a fair bit of fiddling.

Then again on my ST I took it for jetting and they said it was pretty spot-on as is (infact I think they only shimmed one bank of needles 1mm to make my trip to Silverstone feel worth it!!).

Thanks gents, I am due to book a session on a rolling road for them to tune it, I guess they will know fairly soon if it has or whether it can be improved.
