Hit the OCP dyno again this weekend:

2009 YFZ450R
Athena Big Bore Cylinder
Venom 98mm 12.25:1 Piston
Venom HVP porting with +1 DelWest TI Valves
MMAD Warpspeed Intake cam stock exhaust cam
44mm Throttle Body
Fuel Customs Intake without box
Barkers Exhaust
Vortex ECU MAP#9 low 5, Mid 8, High 4

Blue Line = new build
54.85HP 35.06TQ

Red line was old build: 51.95HP 33.65 TQ
FCI
Barkers
06 intake cam
Venom stock valve HVP porting
44mm TB
MSD
Stock bore CP 12.75:1 Piston



Bike definitely runs good, always hoping to see a little more power at the dyno, but these YFZR's are hard to get lots of power out of. Once this piston is worn out i think i will do a high compression 14:1 piston with a bigger cam, hopefully i can get a few more HP and a bit more TQ out of it.

Very nice.

 

[PWeeZy42]

Still nice #s

 

[Schmack]

I could live with numbers like that! Very respectable.

 

[flavtfan]

nice pump gasser...finally used that venom piston I wanted to buy off you lol. nice torque

 

[cgshunter]

Wow great numbers! Glad you put that warp speed cam too good use!

 

[ldjbuff]

Yeah that will be a fun duner fo sho

Wish I could get my hands on that piston you're using. I had to settle for the CP 12.5:1 for my 480 build.

When we were at the Dyno we had a chance to compare the Vortex VS the MSD on my buddies bike. The Vortex made the same HP as a properly tuned MSD with the timing advanced. So save your $$ unless you really like the clean install of the Vortex, i always hated the way the MSD was in the way of the filter and eventually my space age velcro wore out.

I never put the msd where they said to. I saw a power difference believe or not.

You made more power with the MSD? Your YFZR was a full tilt build with that MMAD 121 head on MR12, I doubt those pre loaded Vortex maps would do as good a job as a custom MSD map. Did you ever get a chance to use the Vortex software?

Where did you mount it ?

I think I misunderstood you there, you got a little more power by moving the MSD. I always wondered if it impeded airflow sitting right above the intake.

Curves look real good.

Good luck waiting for that piston to wear out.

 

[YFZ450R-DEN.]

Really nice curve you´ve made.
I have also just made a build with the Athena big bore cylinder, but with Hotcams stage 3 intake cam. After testing it on track, I think the engine got a little too hot, so I ordered the Hotcams stage 3 exhaust cam to. Now the engine is operating at an acceptable temperature, so problem solved.
I would recommend you to think about another exhaust cam, if you are using your machine for track racing...

Nice numbers, sounds expensive.
