Cranks: They are very good out of the box, but by no means perfect. The big hammer will yield not just a smoother engine, but a few extra rpm too. It doesn't really make any more power, but will keep what power you have longer and more reliably.
Ignitions: The PGMIII is very good (for power) and also very intelligent. It's full 3D on the timing and does things that the Zeeltronic and/or the Ignitech do no and cannot do. I've already spent hours mapping the ignition and RC valve timing on the PGMIII (and others), and we (Stephen A'lee and I) spent hours mapping the air solenoids so that we could replicate it with the Ignitech. And what you end up with is something that's equal to the PGMIII. But there is of course the possibility of dialing it in for different tunes etc. And yes, as "The Grant" says, they're more effective for a bigger displacement motor than on the stock NSR250.
On other points.....nothing to add.
Cheers,
Matt.
Thanks Matt.
The Crank and bike is with an Australian racing legend - Don Stafford. He was really keen to be involved in this project and has said the crank has been adjusted and tested. Not sure to what degree the work has been done, but he is pretty happy with it.
I'm sticking with the PGMIII. I'll source a few others 'in case' but recall the mapping was pretty spot on before the chambers, reeds, heads etc... Given your feedback, it sounds like the PGM III will just pick up and adapt to the additions. Good to hear.
Thanks for your feedback Matt, it is appreciated.
Side note - How'd my Rothmans Tank end up for James's NSR250? Can't wait to see the finished product.
Cheers
