I was just thinking the same.
I'll just leave it there.
I built and raced petrol 2-stroke engines.

The exhaust needs to be an expansion chamber to handle the extra pressure.inewham wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 9:07 pm You're all overthinking this someone has done it because they can, just because it sounds good. A 50cc engine probably doesn't have enough exhaust pressure to get the turbo spinning properly. It's a just because they can
It doesn’t all go out the exhaust. Port timings and sizes (and everything else) are designed to work with the boosted intake.Yorick wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 8:57 pm
Been thinking.
The brief peiod that the piston isn't covering both the intake and exhaust ports, you would be shooting the extra boost straight out the exhaust . Too much pressure will fuck things up.

Les well than increasing its capacity to 85 cc, but if I really wanted to try forced induction, I’d go for supercharging and I’d remove the disc valve.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 11:14 pm Let me be more specific, how would turbo charging a FS1E engine work?
Super charged two strokes don't put the mixture through the crankcase, they have a separate charging cylinder that does the same job as sucking the mixture into the crankcase.JackyJoll wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 11:46 pmLes well than increasing its capacity to 85 cc, but if I really wanted to try forced induction, I’d go for supercharging and I’d remove the disc valve.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 11:14 pm Let me be more specific, how would turbo charging a FS1E engine work?

Yes.Yorick wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 8:21 pmDo you know how a 2 stroke petrol engine works?David wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 8:19 pm Diesel engines are a lot like petrol except for the ignition system and consequent heavier engineering....most diesel engines can be petrolised, doesnt work well the other way round.

I've just remembered this video which did the rounds a while back. Turbocharged Vespa with 40bhp!Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 11:14 pm Let me be more specific, how would turbo charging a FS1E engine work?
Yeah. We need some eye candy. Just sit over there luvTaipan wrote: Thu Jul 15, 2021 11:25 am I know fuck all about turbo 2Ts and 2T diesels, yet, here I am, fitting in...
