pondtunes Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 If you're running 93 octane and have 140 psi compression it probably detonated to death... I believe anything over 120psi is race gas territory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 You can't just go by PSI; you have to calculate compression ratio; which depends on many factors, especially the exhaust port height. I ran a stock unported cylinder with +5 timing and 150 psi on pump gas for a long time. No deto. You may still be right about the need for race gas on his motor, though. His compression ratio could be high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutwood 472 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Send Andy your dome too or both of them and mark which one was the broken side. yep,I'm going to send him the domes,pistons and cylinders and see if he wants the cdi to and I'll keep you guys posted on what is going on with it,thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastquad02blaster Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 My vote is on detonation. This happened to my truck(too much timing, not enough octane). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycanuck Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Not trying to be a dick, but Im curous as to why you built a pump gas super cub??? Couldnt you reach the same hp with a regular cub??? and the pistons would be cheaper.....IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
