cfm = cid x rpm x VE/3456

cfm = cubic feet per minute
cid = cubic inch of displacement
rpm = daaaa
VE = volumetic efficiency

(VE) volumetric efficiency is a ratio (or percentage) of what volume of fuel and air actually enters the cylinder during induction to the actual capacity of the cylinder under static conditions. Therefore, those engines that can create higher induction manifold pressures - above ambient - will have efficiencies greater than 100% [often found in turbos ;)].


My point to think was to evaluate my VE and CFM on my new build to see where things stand for improvements and compare to the flow on other builds, but then i ran across something interesting,...

chad502ex
08-23-2005, 02:20 PM
ve= 3456 x cfm/cid x rpm

again- getting a naturally aspirated engine to breath and be 100% efficient is quite challenging, but to extend over 100% without forced induction is a huge accomplishment.

Also, notice how the loaded dyno works the engine a bit more and "forces" the engine to breath harder? Almost like when a jogger or runner needs to breath more oxygen during workout to intake more. Well, the engine does the same and is more typical of actual run conditions while on the trails.

When under load the cfm is higher, the VE is higher, and the HP is higher,....



BTW: if he only made a bigger HH for the bigger bore club then the limit on those ppl would be higher too! You would also think more customers would also be interested in the gains over shelf.... I see alot of ppl buying shelf and sending them to the machinist for changes...

does no-one here see the huge VE and cfm gains the HH is making with the in/ex combination?

so add more weight to the quad to put a heavier load on the engine to make it breath more ='s more power :devil:

True, that was only a point i made comparing the difference in loaded dyno numbers to freewheel dyno numbers.

look at the stock bore yfz curve on both graphs and compare VE and cfm to every other build. VE is going to be highest where torque of the engine is maximum on the curve. In other words, the yfz makes peak power on the dyno at 8000rpm where the VE is maximum. Now, compare the 440cc yfz to the 450cc trx- see the huge difference? See how the yfz with HH is making more VE and cfm then all the other builds at 8000 rpm?

I'll give credit where credit is due. impressive to say the least.

Oh no, I'm not saying that my ol' 530r is more efficient than my new 550- yet! My ol' 530 was tested on both a loaded and freewheel dyno, and performed better on the loaded because it has to "breath" a bit harder. Harder "breathing" is more cfm, more cfm, more power. You'll see when I put the new 550 on the loaded that my 550 will out perform and out breath my 530. I just havn't illustrated those numbers yet..... :macho

Assuming linearity, i've done a bit of pencil pushing and came up with 60hp on the 550 with the same setup. Admittingly, I think my porting is slightly overported from the results. If i were to get increased flow my numbers could be closer to 65 with 550. Maybe, I should find a master porter who could increase my cfm's and VE on the 550 better than what i have,...... :o

I have one stock yfz graph tested on the same dyno to compare, but i havn't pushed those VE and cfm numbers. maybe i do that when i get more time so you can compare the differences not in hp, but how much more the engine is "breathing" and how much more efficient (VE) the engine becomes,...

It only seems fair to compare the YFZ HH to a stocker. Since the YFZ is the only one using the HH....That why we can see how much of a difference in ve/cfm there is in just the HH install.

Since we're on the subject, I thought I'd throw this comparisson up here. This is the same bike on the same dyno (although it was done a few months apart)


Blue line is JE 13:1 (sorry it's not closer to the HH compression)

Green line is HH 13.75:1
*Also had Dyna ign (.5hp) and Unlimited core (1hp)

Spread is 6.5 hp
minus 1.5hp for ign and core
minus typical 3% gain per 1 point of compression = 1 hp

That leaves 4hp increase due to piston design alone.

Boone, given a dyno sheet one can reverse engineer or backwards calculate just about everything there is to know about an engine.... You can not get around the math and physics... A dyno sheet is all i need. This is probally why engine builders who profit do not put out dyno plots to internet, ya know?

efficiency is efficiency no matter what kind of engine it is.
For example, take my VE from my 530R freewheel dyno run and compare against my 550R freewheel dyno run. See that the 550 freewheel dyno run is less effiecient (lower VE) than my 530R freewheel dyno run below 7400rpm, and the 550 is more efficient (more VE) above 7400rpm than my 530? What do you think would have happened to the efficiency if the cid is relatively the same? Well, it turns out that I changed the port shape a bit for higher RPM's, changed the head dome shape, went with flat top piston while keeping same compression ratio, added 45mm taper bore fcr. Now with all those changes to increase cfm- look back at the 550 VE and notice that ve falls where velocity slows and ve increases where mass is dominate. All expected outcomes in the VE function if you look hard enough.

BH, you want me to calculate you inefficiencies too? LOL

What do you mean life expendancy. Life of a motor to me is when it loses 2 hp max. I never run it that long to get that bad. We freshen up the motor every 6 to 8 hours. It keeps the engine lasting longer.

I usually give it a new cylinder, piston, rings, valve seals, Check the springs (replace if they lose tension) Inspect the valves and replace if nessasary, New cam chain, check rocker arm and camshaft. Clean slide in carb every 3-4 hours, new clutch every 2-4 hours. This is for keeping optimum performance so the bike always responds or feels the same. Nothing is worse than thinking that I didn't do my best.

Volumetric effeciency that you are getting is calculated and not measured. In order to be accurate on comparisons, intake air cfm must be measured. Would be nice to put on a Superflow "loaded dyno and get actual readings with a 4" air turbine.

yes, this is all caluated VE, not measured VE. There is a difference, but we are comparing a best case VE here guys.

Again, these comparisons are best case and are "RELATIVE" to each other.

I have to degree each one in again. If I am 2 degrees off I have Piston to valve problems. I have a base line that I look for in a motor. Depending on what type of power I am looking for I degree it for that type of power. So yes I degree each one on the dyno comparing to my basine test.

Yea right, your build is da bomb!

All the graphs I posted were not measured VE just relative calculated VE. I'm sure you measure your VE cause you have the equipment to perform those measurements. I have to rely on theoretical calculated comparisons. Either way, I'm sure your engines flow many more cfm's that all the ones posted- that's for sure.

You see when ever a person asks life exptancy of an engine. It is a loaded question. depending on type of use, conditions, and concern for personally saftey. Some people consider engine life as till it blows up or smokes like a diesel. So if you want to know normal JOE SCHMO I will let you know that way if you want. I was letting you know what we do on a Pro level racing with rider saftey in mind!

I don't retard my cams that much because of my cam being larger and ports being more efficient as shown by you ve calculations. I run alot tighter than that after a few races. the piston rock causes PV probems.

The formula cfm = cid x rpm x VE/3456 is just a guide line "suggested starting point" for find what CFM carburetor u need for your application! You can not get VE for this formula because it is an unknown!

Example

I have a 350cid and I run it at 7000rpm so u take 350 * 7000 and u get what cubic feet the motor can pump every stroke. Then u take EV/3456 (3456 because its the mathmadicly number because v-8s are 4 strokes and all the cylinders don’t fire every stroke) and over that is the efficiency because most motors are not 100% efficient!

So what size carb should I run (witch is the reason for the formula)

cfm= (350*7000*.8/3456) = 576cfm

Now lets say that I have a 750 cfm carb I want to know my VE

VE = (CFM x 3456) / CID x RPM
(750*3456)/350 X 7000 = 1.05.....

Does that make scene because I know my motor has a VE of .8 and from the calculation I get 1.05....

U can’t get the real VE or the real CFM form the calculation because u can’t solve an equation with 2 unknowns.
U can use the formula if u put the motor on a flow bench and test the real CFM or the real VE at every given RPM.


RIGHT!!

U can’t get the real VE or the real CFM form the calculation because u can’t solve an equation with 2 unknowns.
U can use the formula if u put the motor on a flow bench and test the real CFM or the real VE at every given RPM.


RIGHT!!

ahh, all true. "cfm" is a theoretical approach to evaluate the size of the carburation that's needed for the theoretical throughput the engine has. So, assuming that the engine is flowing to theoretical, which is extremely tough to do ask Dan (DASA), you can compare all builds with the same philosophy and see how they perform across the board relative to each other. It's just an idea to see how things are performing against others- not to be characterized against realistic cfm/ve performance or actual cfm/VE numbers. Extremely complicated computer modeling with test equipment is involved to obtain cfm/ve measurements.

All things equal, reverse calculating from dyno hp #'s is a way to normalize to theoretical to obtain difficiencies of the build under investigation.

hope this helps clarify the intention of the thread. this thread was not intended to display "actual" data, but more for respresentation of the performance of the build under investigation relative to others. I thought i may have made this clear early into the discussion. :confused:

Could we use BMEP for comparing???

goggle search:

Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP)
The work accomplished during one engine cycle divided by the engine swept volume. It is essentially the engine torque normalized by the engine displacement. The word “brake” denotes the actual torque/power available at the engine flywheel as measured on a dynamometer. Thus, BMEP is a measure of the useful power output of the engine.

BMEP is simply a multiple of the torque per cubic inch of displacement. In fact, a BMEP of 150.8 psi is equivalent to 1.0 ft-lb of torque per cubic inch of displacement. So a very practical way to calculate BMEP is:

BMEP = 150.8 x TORQUE ÷ DISPLACEMENT

This tool is extremely handy to evaluate the performance which is claimed for any particular engine.

hey chad you seem to know crap real good. Not to get you off subject but what size valve stems would you use for a mx 450r and what cam? Do you have to put shortened guides in it for cam? thanks for the help

yea- i've been told by alot of ppl "i know crap"! How am I to take that statement? LOL.

Yea, i believe the crf uses the 5mm valves and the trx uses the 5.5mm stems. Personally, I would not change the trx valves for the crf stems to try to gain up. If anything by changing to a smaller diameter crf stems you stand a chance of exhaust fork side load pressures too great on the smaller diameter stems- especially with stiffened spring force. IMO

cam wise- a mid to top is my preference. Personally, I like the megacycle X2- it's basically the same cam timing as the HRC with only bigger max lift. Honestly though, I've only looked over the specs of other cams and not tested them with ride time (yet). Since my x2 installation, I've really enjoyed the aggressive nature of the cam and the hit out of the turns it gives me, but since then Dan (DASA) has shed light on other profiles that may be better for that type of application and some other issues not talked about yet hmmm. Shortened guides are required for Mega X2 cause of lift, but HRC is considered drop in.

ok, ok- you got me me curious now Dan. Maybe since I have all the numbers in my spreadsheet already with this compariosn, I'll plug away for BMEP to see what we get, then post a few graphs for everyone to ewww and ahhhh over. Then its someone elses turn,...

HP = Atmos. Press. x CR x VE x CID x RPM ÷ 5252 ÷ 150.8



Since you have HP from a dyno graph, just arrange this formula a little differently to come up with VE, and go from there...

Boone your an addict too!! LOL! you crack me up! hehe.

good thing your not pulling out a differential equation, then i'd have to yank the textbook of the shelp to integrate again.... LOL!

Whoa, great stuff Chad, Dan. Boy i sure need to stick to bangin nails in cause you boys are in way over my dome! Glad i paid Dan to do all this thinking :cool:

The 2-4 hour servicing is scaring me, i chose to "breeze" past those posts :eek2:

BTW Dan, i couldnt resist trying the 44mm Lectron on this monster. Im hooking up with Matt @ Modil Dyno to get it dialed in and we can see if it runs good on there or not.

2 Questions Dan:

I have some VP MR9 fresh in unopened 5 gallon containers. Would you suggest i run that in the new motor or something else?

I also got the Meth setup for this carb, would you have any concerns or suggestions about me trying to dial it in on Meth.

Here's two concerns for you dial'n in on meth:

1. hold your breath.

2. hold on for dear life!!!


Wahhhooooo!


that monster should easily crack 70 on meth.

Most of you missed the part about 2-4 hour sevicing. I explained this to Chad last night. The main reason is for Joe's safety. He doesn't need to worry when going off a 100 ft triple. Every time that he hits the throttle the bike HAS to respond the same. It gives him faith in me and his equipment not having to worry if it will bog or not have the same drive out of the corner.

I hope that the carb works for you. No Accel pump will not work in Mx racing.

MR9 fuel is really good fuel. Keep it close though. Don't want those free radicals escaping into the atmosphere.

I forgot to add MR 9 works great when the combustion chamber is set up for that type of fuel.
Meth works wonders for great throttle response. Just don't lift the head from being to lean. Start it out rich and then lean it down.
