Hey, Bob, I posted a comment on your video. That's a fast freakin' little Surestart "Type" engine. I almost ducked under my keyboard! What's that thing tach out at?

It's turning just a little over 19K in the video, probably around 19.2 to 19.3. I am hoping to get this one to top 20K. I am using straight Sig Champion 25% and a Cox 5X3 stiff grey prop. I drilled out the venturi with a #10 bit, used a 128 tpi NVA from a 290 engine and opened up the spray bar hole a few thousandths and put it on an engine with a polished KB crank, SPI piston/cylinder and Galbreath head and Nelson plug with one gasket.

What angle do you position the spraybar orifice, stock straight ahead, or do you aim it off-center?

The hole in the spray bar is facing directly into the back of the engine.

Thanks for the input on the spray bar angle Mudhen. I remember reading something about that a while ago but could not find the info. I also learned that making the venturi and spray bar hole larger are only effective up to a cetain point. This NVA flows so much fuel under pressure that the needle setting is ultra sensative. I think I will redo the backplate and try the angled spray bar.

Thanks again,

Bob

That certainly explains why I'm worn out at the end of the day!! Spent the whole day working at being dumb and was too dumb to figure it out!!! Sad

Mud
You've brought up a valid point.
Certainly for a normally aspirated engine, the old Bernoulli velocity/pressure principle dictates positioning to minimize pressure at the spraybar hole for maximum fuel draw. OTOH, pressurized engines don't need a vacuum to draw fuel, but good fuel atomization is important. Burn surface plays a big part in everything from gunpowder to solid rocket motors, so better atomization means more burn surface, which should transfer to a better flame propagation rate, i.e., more rpm. Dumping fuel into a high velocity air stream would, I think, help atomization. For a pressurized engine, I wonder what effect having the spraybar pointed directly into the airflow would have? Either way, various spraybar angles can't help but be a player in squeezing the last 100 rpm out of the motor.

For years and years, the general consensus(still) around the drag racing community was that the more you can atomize Nitromethane, the more power you can get out of it. They have perfected the top end or second system nozzle orifice sizes to the point of shooting a fog type mixture into there motors. They have even gone(years ago) to adding a high speed pinch valve,,for a quick leanout,,to get that extra burst of power.

I was thinking of a couple extra pinholes around that spray bar, to break up those droplets even more.

Just some food for thought, and fun.

All this has me thinking to the point that I just ordered some more NVA's from Texas Timers. Unfortunately, I will be busy the next few weekends. But, when I get some more time to play with this I should have everything I need right at hand.

Glad I asked about the spraybar because I'm planning to build two Killer Bees as close to identical as possible for the Com Bats I got for Christmas. I'd like to try different positions if it can be fiddled with without loosening the spraybar too much.

Once I got a new red KB backplate with a loose spraybar that turned with the needle. I cleaned it of all fuel and JB Welded it but it came loose again. Maybe it can be re-positioned and then heated and the plastic will cool and grip it.
