What do you guys think about making your intake port smaller??
And this figure came from an stock yamaha R6 only with the intake part has done the "smaller" porting size.
I know its for a motorcycle and a Natural Aspirated engine, could we have similar result if its been done to our the RB's?
Yamaha R6
- Stock Ports 103.1 HP
- 20% Smaller Ports 104.1 HP
- 30% Smaller Ports 108.3 HP !!
CBR 600F3
Before & After
The Blue Line represents a cylinder head that was "flow bench ported" by a well known U.S. motorcycle performance tuning company.
The Blue Line shows that enlarging the stock intake ports a small amount, caused this engine to lose power throughout the entire power curve.
The good news is, The Red Line shows that after fixing the "flowbench ported" head by making the ports 35% smaller... this CBR 600F3 gained more than 10 HP !!
Since The Blue Line's head ports were already "flowed out" even bigger than stock, there was about an extra 3 horsepower recovered.
In this case, a stock head would have worked better than the flowbench ported head.
