Which Dome angle?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, the weathers finally warming up here in CANADa.

 

Looking to get a set of shearer pipes and bump up the compression more on my 421cc from VITO's.

 

They sell a "13" degree angle dome and a "9" degree angle dome. I plan on going from 22cc to 20cc dome. But im not sure which angle would be better. I run straight 100LL av gas. Timing is at +5. Im at sea level.

 

Cranking compression with the 22cc domes is 155psi. I think i can bump up the compression more and still be ok with 100LL. If not a Can get 110 or 112 octane. But if i will have to go 110-112 octane i would more then likely maximize to that and run 18 or 19cc domes.

 

Your opinions are appreciated, From what iv been told the greater the angle, the faster the flame speed, the more horse power? correct?

Incorrect, youll have to know the angle of the crown on the pistons your using and then base the dome angle offset from that..Jim

i do believe the pistons in my shee are blaster pistons. 68mm bore. And my current domes are the 9 degree. I was just curious on people opinions on which angle made more horepower. I know for my snowmobile i bought a aftermarket head with interchangable domes that bumped up the compression and had a different dome configuration that increased performance by combusting more efficiently.

 

I figured VIto's had the "OPTION" of differnt dome angles .

i dont know much about vito but its seems they been around a while. you can only assume they would have the domes figured out by now, so there would be no need to offer a bunch of "options". then again ive seen people in this business 30years and still dont know anything. if you want something different than what they offer you can buy a blank dome and have it cut to your own specs

vitos carries 9* and 13* domes for the different pistons that are out there in those dome angles.

 

a wsm 68mm stock stroke piston has a 13* angle

some of the older stock stroke vitos 68mm pistons were 13* also

 

now they have 3 newer pistons all with 9* angles, a stock stroke 68mm 9*, a 2mm offset pin height 68mm piston with 9* angle for 4mm 110mm rod cranks, and a 6mm offset piston(just like a blaster 573mo6800) with a 9* angle for the 115mm rod.

 

haveing a 115mm rod narrows it down, you have either a 573mo6800 wiseco or a vitos 6mm offset piston in 68mm.

Ya ill have to get ahold of vito's. I was just curious to which Dome would be better. But if i only have 1 choice then my question is answered.

 

Does anybody have a rough idea of how much more compression 100LL could handle? Like i said kicking compression im at 155psi. Compression ratio is 14:1. Timing is at +5

The domes i have are 22cc. I think i could easily be safe with 20cc domes. Im at sea level.

with a 22cc dome, 8.88

20cc you get 9.68

 

 

roughly.

 

 

9.68:1? Are you sure? I CC'd this motor before i installed it in the banshee. Me and my buddy came up with 14."?":1 (roughly 14:1) Static compression ratio i do believe? not dynamic. I forget which one we did. Maybe we fucked up lol

that was for a stock engine, my bad

 

10.6 with 22cc

11.5 with 20cc

this is without taking into account head gasket thickness. it will be less depending on the side of the HG.

 

this is using the formula

No idea what the head gasket thickness is. Its just 2 orings... I that the interchangeable billet head from VITO's. And dont we need to know exhaust port hight and all that shit? i cant remember what all that is...

the numbers i gave will be the highest CR you can get with your engine.

 

WEll in that case i should have no problem running 20cc domes with straight 100LL. Maybe i can even go down to a 19cc dome. ??

read this http://www.sacoriver.net/~red/uccr.html

 

 

also a stock banshee has a CR of 6.4:1

 

 

thats from above the exh port. different ball of wax than measuring from the full stroke.

 

i dont see why people get so stumped on this comrpession ratio shit. put piston at TDC, pour oil through the plug hole until it gets to the threads, record how much oil you poured in. total cylinder volume+ amount of oil you poured in the plug hole divided by the amount of oil your poured in the plug hole. if you want to know the japanese method then pour oil in from where the piston is at the top of the exh port
