FORCING THE “D”

FORCING Bike engines D-5 is familiar to many designers and Amateurs. On their basis build different machines: microvesicle and motology, microaerobic and motonarty. Often readers turn to us with questions about the increase in power bike engines. We will try to describe the main methods of speeding up the engines D-5 and D-6 (to try to force the engine D-4 is not recommended, as this will require significant additional alterations, replacements, cylinders, crankshaft and other parts).

WE CATCH THE MOMENT OF IGNITION

CATCH THE TIMINGMotorists know how important it is for diesel internal combustion engines proper installation of the moment of ignition — the ignition spark of the spark fuel in the cylinder before the end of the compression stroke.
