You need to put a bigger jet in with that Gianelli pipe fitted, its less restrictive than the original one, standard jet is a 130, you would be wise to buy the next two sizes up, i think thats a 135 and a 140. I would put the 140 in first and plug chop it. You would be wise to get Stan Stevens to do the work rather than do it yourself, if you do...let me know how it goes, i considered doing it myself but havent got around to it.

racerd Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 ihave a dt mx ,i have raised the top of the exaust port ...all is ok, a bit more mid boost..i have a gianeli exhaust ,trying to get a bit more pwer out of the engine,,,i have been told i could advance the timing when you raised the exhaust port did you chamfer the edge this is to help the piston rings go over the port if you did not chamfer the edge of the port this could break the piston rings and wear them out faster, if you want more power then try looking at bigger carb, open out the reed stops, change reeds, port and flow reed block set the squish up to just under 1.0 mm, port the inlet port, match up transfer entrances to crank cases, if you advance the timing too much this causes detonation holed pistons and makes the engine run slower, also when tuning you need to do a plug chop to see how the mixture is burning in the cylinder if you run lean then you get power fade then a nip up and or seize up and holed pistons, you could try using a racing spark plug and plug cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted September 19, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 19, 2008 Have you seen This post? If you re-read that post and clear out the waffle he has used an IT175 barrel/piston etc with an it carb and a cobbled exhaust. No mention of ANY work on the crank/mains etc. Wouldnt mind betting an IT chimes in at around there HP wise. 80mph in 4th, on 22hp. A Dt125x with the full power ypvs gubbins has 22hp and thats flat out at less than that. As the username suggests i'm afraid i need proof. Back to it.... Unless you have got some serious tuning going on its not really worth it. As you need to mess about richening the mixture for when its on the pipe which makes it way too rich lower down. Been there done it with the 50. Editted out as its total Boll....(The ig timing on the 175 is set in stone, you will be machining the stator plate to get any adjustment, then you will be advancing the entire ig curve.)sorry.

DYNO TESTED USING A DYNOJET 2 WHEEL AUTOMOTIVE DYNO. USED ONLY ONE ROLLER INSTEAD OF BOTH. ORIGINAL HORSEPOWER WAS APPROX 14 HP AT THE WHEEL AT 7000 RPM. MODIFICATIONS ARE THE FOLLOWING: IT175 CYLINDERHEAD MODIFIED ON A LATHE; SHAVED CYLINDERHEAD BUT MADE COMBUSTION CHAMBER WIDER. OCTANE USED 91 OCTANE. USED 1977 IT175 CARBURATOR MODIFIED; BORED OUT TO REDUCE VENTURIS. REJETTED ON THE STREET FOR THROTTLE MAX AND FULL THROTTLE; MAIN AND IDLE JETS. K&N AIR FILTER. STOCK CYLINDERHEAD BORED TO FIRST OVER, PORTED TO SPECS OF 1977 IT175 PORTS SIZE. EXPANSION CHAMBER FROM 1991 HONDA CR125 MODIFIED TO FIT. MUFFLER PROCIRCUIT FROM 1991 HONDA CR125 MODIFIED TO FIT. 4TH GEAR WILL HIT APROX 80 MPH. HAVE NOT TRIED 5TH AND 6TH GEAR. BIKE IS TOO LIGHT FOR THOSE HIGHER SPEEDS. DO NOT TRUST BRAKES FOR THOSE SPEEDS. NEED TO UPGRADE FRONT DRUMS TO DUAL PISTON DISC BRAKES. 12000 RPM. MAX RPM IS 13000RPM. this is for the race track on the road 11,000/11,500 spot on, STOCK CYLINDERHEAD BORED TO FIRST OVER = IT175 CYLINDERHEAD MODIFIED ON A LATHE. at what angle was the squish re cut to and did you measure the squish also this lines up the edge to the cylinder bore, CARBURATOR MODIFIED; BORED OUT TO REDUCE VENTURIS. what size is the carb now, REJETTED ON THE STREET FOR THROTTLE MAX AND FULL THROTTLE; are both the same meaning, wot = wide open throttle, K&N AIR FILTER. have you oiled the filter also you need the reed block porting and flowing and finishing off in 80 grit production hone marks this aids the mixing of the fuel and oil into the engine taper port the front of the carb open out reed stops inlet port open 360 degree reed block stops and starts flow exhaust port 22mm from top of cylinder liner and make the exhaust port wider as well guide inlet flow towards boost port line up transfer entrances on the barrel to crank cases the ports need a 2mm chamfer at a 10 /12 degree angle flat and polish piston crown and combustion chamber in cylinder head and the exhaust port bigger carb if not using a boost bottle then connect one set squish to 1.00mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
