"Pork Chop" Cranks for GT/TR750

[Suzukidave]

Hi Kris , any progress on your TR project ?

[water cooled]

Dave,
I just noticed that the coolant drain on the pressure side of the pump has been modified. Do you think Kris did this to reverse the coolant flow somehow? Somewhere on this forum I read that reversing the coolant flow can help with HP. Whats your take on this...

Im not exactly sure how he gets that to work...

[Suzukidave]

Kris is running a electric w/p so no need for the pass by the pump .

this one luckily escaped the crusher

Post #1 .. welcome to the list .. where did that crank come from ? sidecar racer ?

[hogpacker]

located it here in Australia
now have a big hole in my bank account
haven't decided which engine to put it in yet
Barton in sidecar or the tr750
was supplied with a new set of mains
that definitely was a bonus
the other option is to look at laser or water cutting and make a second crank

[Suzukidave]

Do you have knowledge on how these type crank perform ? are they better suited for open tracks like Daytona ?

H1 with a steroid overdose
apparently the tyres of the day struggled with the brutal power delivery
not a short circuit crank I should imagine

This is interesting, coming from the "Kawasaki" end of the spectrum. The H2, and H2R's had porkchop cranks. And both the factory and private racers actually went the other way to full circle cranks for testing. Neither found enough improvement to change over. The KR 750 race engine did go to a full circle crank, though it was really too late to compete with the reed and 4 cylinder Yammi TZ's.

I can see a big drop in CC compression, and am not sure even big new modern pipes (that like low CC compression) can handle that much of a reduction. Has there been any computations to see just where the CC compression will be?

Hi, and welcome.
It was still there 2 minutes ago, or are you referring to activity level over there?

[kiwisidecars]

Hi there, No not the level of activity I don't seem to be able to get to the site
