Man i wish i would have came across this before i ordered another race head.LOL But at some point i'm gonna end up running this head before the race at V.I.R even if it means i have to get rid of one of my v2 heads.thumbsup2
Oh and checkout the Zongshen new motor too.Looks like they to went the way of the hybrids.LOL
I can only imagine what kind of hp you can get out of that head on a 1fiddy.I bet over 20hp.thumbsup2Now i'm thinking lifan really better step their game up.

I just did a little more probing and found out that these 4 valve heads will be coming from the yx factory(so this means it won't be costing and arm and a leg).Not only that but there's a bbk that takes it all the way up to a 180cc.So there will be a single cam 4v head that you can make from a 160cc all the way up to a 180cc.DAM that's sick!!!!!
Oh and i also found out it should be hitting the markets in a month.
I'm in line already!thumbsup2

how did the 110 project go?Oh shizzle Blitz on 1 fiddy too.I had to put ta on hold for a few.Somthing else has sparked my interest.Infact a dual spark setup.Iv'e seen some pretty sick dyno numbers from takegawa dyno sheet with there setup.So this at the time seems like an easier thing for me to attemp.LOL So i'm gonna practice that on the 110cc first.
But coming from the yx factory i'm pretty sure it's gonna be a kit for the 150's.The single cam 4v head plus the piston to match.So you can swap it right out on to your hybrib motor.thumbsup2

looking at the head again, the thing im most happy about is the placement of the spark plug
its dead in the middle, you know how good a burn your gonna get? awesome
the bad side is the cam has 4 lobes? or 2 big ones?
ill reserve judgment on that till i see it, even takegawa has conceded that their dohc head is only slightly better than the best 2v head they have

4 valve is why I held off from the V2 and money hahaha Right now the 4V may be only slightly better but give it time. I seem to remember when the 150's first came out two MBN members gave reason's why the YX was the way to go. Everyone was hot for the Lifan because it was faster out of the crate and the fact the YX would lunch it's clutch didn't help. Folks this is what we (Swheels and The Nutt) could see coming. We must have talked about it for hours. Are we Einstein? No we could see the bleed over from Takegawa and the YX. In due time someone else will trump YX but for now it's the king BABY!

If your refering to the takegawa DOCH head.That i can believe because of more rotating parts and the weight of that setup.But on that note with this head we still should be able to use the takegawa S series cams for the flat tappet heads.thumbsup2
If the katico 143cc 4v kit can pull harder than a 172+R kit.Well it should be insane on a 150cc then.But i'll keep my finger's crossed.

I just checked my email and got a response from the company.
Their response:[4v head price for klx yx engine price $160.]
They also asked what business or company do i represent.LOL So i'm assuming that's the wholesale price not retail.So you figure retail it would cost double.So figure over $320. crazy thing is at the site it says takegawa.But the $320 i'm guessing that's what the yx 4v head might be priced out at.Don't quote me on this cause all i asked about is the head.When they come out i'm pretty sure it will be a kit that comes with a new piston to work with the 4v head.thumbsup2

depends on the size of the intake valve if the valves are around 25mm for the intake then a 26 or a 28 would be for best performance without over carbing the engine

ok so whats the deal with these heads?
from what i can find lurking around, they arent anything to write home about and the v2 roller head is still the best race option, also i heard of some reliability issues, seems that they need some bug time on these new china hybrid designs
even the takegawa dynos for their dohc motor only slightly beat out the +R head they also make, and ive heard talk of the yx 4valve being only a single cam is even weaker in comparison to the dohc 4valve motors of tak
does it need a 34mm carb to flow it?
i seen the dohc motors with a 28 get by
im starting to think for a high rev race motor the v2 is still the best, i usually find myself between 5k and redline while racing so i want the best in that situation
The Nutty Professor
10-23-2009, 06:27 PM
I tend to agree about the 4V for now. I now have a V2, thanks "S", and I can see just by looking at it that it a major improvement over stock. I think I can bump that up too with a S35 cam and a high compression piston. That's about as hard and I want to hit on the 150cc. Yes I want to stick with the 150cc. There seems to be more classes running that motor than going bigger.

10-24-2009, 03:43 PM
Well from what Doug was saying.When he took one for a test.Is that the power has a very linear curve to it and it really let's the motor rev high. Still very early though.But i think i'm gonna get one for when i setup the next bike.

I think good things are gonna come from the 4valves. Me personally i have grown to like more topend horsepower vs the lowend.I could relax more vs getting jerk around and running out of Hp at midrange. I ran the tak s35 cam and i absolutly love it.It fits me to a T. I swear if i'd had the proper gearing i would have stomped that 150r much sooner than later. So now i can only imagine that with some work done to the 4valve head, oh the possibilities. Cuz now my motor just pulls to the moon and keep reving till something lets go.LOL So i'm am really excited for the 4valve head and i may even get to use my FCR cab with it.This should be a good combo.thumbsup2

No "S" I mean the 4V is the wave of the future, but right now somethings ot adding up right thinking_smilie They are not getting the power gains they should be? I think Blitz is right trying to run 4 valves off on cam is going to be a problem. I'm thinking about the 3V I have. People like the motor but for reason it didn't catch on? Maybe because the head only fit one motor :dunno: But even so you would think people would have bought a lot of them anyway but they didn't.

10-26-2009, 04:49 PM
somebody smart can explain why dual cams are better than one better than me but think of the drag on one cam that has not two but now 4 spring loads placed on it, there are some advantages im sure but its going to be very specific
if the Y rocker was a roller then id be more inclined, and does it run the regular cams? the ones ment for roller arms?
The Nutty Professor
10-27-2009, 06:00 AM
You're right Blitz friction loss is a major factor and that also leads into heat build up because of it. Aprillia is getting away with it on one head of their V4 but they jumped through hoops and used gears and something else to minimize the friction.
Now use roller rockers in this head would lessen the problem but it wouldn't go away and they would probably make the head large enough that it would make sense to go DOHC anyway :dunno:
X7rocks
10-27-2009, 08:01 AM
running a good synthetic oil may help a little bit...but im not sure it will completely help the friction on the cams. i know i wouldnt like a dry start on any of these 4 valve motors would lead to more cam ware then needed

I' even more impressed and i immediatly scrapped the plans i had for my current motor and my 146cc motor.LOL He said he road the bike and it was un-rideable, you do have to sit on the tank.He took it for a very short ride then got off quickly he said. To hear this coming from Luise with his Derbi powered x12 2 stroke 70cc bike.Now i'm really like DAM!
i just cant see how two Y shaped rockers are gonna spin faster than 2 single ones with rollers
if the 4 valve was roller id be listening more
but at least lets give them credit at trying to be innovativeLuise told me that in his opinion it looks like they did their homework on the cam drag theory.They have HUGE cam sprocket which suggest that they did the ratio( sorta like a gear reduction) to help eliminate the drag.Plus instead of 2 springs like the 2valve heads they used one heavy duty spring per valve.Plus with the smaller lighter valves,Valve float shouldn't be an issue. Luise also mention that the motor they did is running a 30mm carb and inner rotor kit.The motor spools up so fast that you'd think at half throttle it's at the top of the rpm range.He also mentioned that they got 2500 more rpms with the 4valve head.speechless33:yup: Oh plus it has a real big beefy cam chain likes the crf 150r's:yup:
somebody smart can explain why dual cams are better than one better than me but think of the drag on one cam that has not two but now 4 spring loads placed on it, there are some advantages im sure but its going to be very specific
if the Y rocker was a roller then id be more inclined, and does it run the regular cams? the ones ment for roller arms?I Read that you can time the cams on the duallies individually for better performance.
;43081']Now that's one big engine! And how much HP?Iv'e 3rd hand info from Luise in which he has read and from what he read about the 4valve heads.They weren't specific on were the hp numbers were at the base of the motor or to the rearwheel.So i won't spit the numbers out but i'll say this.Let's just say 30hp is not far from the horizon now.With the proper work i might add,not just slapping on the head and go.But it will be easier than any of the stuff running now. So don't hold this as law though! Still i'm definitly taking the plung.

Finally some more test results on the 4valve head.thumbsup2
This testimonial was taken off of planetminis
Re: tb 160 v2vs yx 4 valve?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well i have ridden both and they both rip , they run just like you would think and the YX 4v sings on top
also we only started offering it after info and experience gained last summer / fall from racers
the YX 4v is Very close to a Kitaco 4v just like the Tb V2 is similar to a Takagawa +R
we have them both in stock every day
just one note the 4v yx head fits klx110 but its a honda port head , we have good forward intakes and stainless klx pipes with honda head bend in stock too
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so the yx makes more power than the v2?
do all yx's sing? i have a 2 valve on my bike rite now and it does it and its annoying.
yea sorry for the old school terminology "sings" meant it pulls hard or runs strong in a particular RPM range , so when i say it sings on top , that means it has a very strong pull in the upper RPM ranges.
So i can only imagine the performance gains when they start producing different cams for this head also.

i just reread your part about luigis input S
i agree that the cam sprocket needed to be bigger to handle the load, and if you look at it, its still only pushing 4 springs, the same the regular heads have, so the drag i was worried about, seems to be addressesd
i expect the roller head to be very quick through its rpm, and the 4 valve will be the high rpm king
also i think i saw kurlon say this, the 2 valve head piston has a very steep 'roof' which is what is the force that drives the piston down with
with the size of the valves approaching the insane limit, that 'roof ' looks my old one in buffalo, which will limit the impact of the added other things
if you look on the 4valve heads, the valve cutaways are very small and leave a very 'flat roof' for the mix to pop off, having a 'flat roof' will absorb alot of the usable power

The setup i'm runnning came with a much bigger pipping and the can has a 32mm inlet.
That was my favorite vid demo of the 4valve. Now just that was with an outer rotor on that motor. Imagine what it would rev like with a inner rotor kit on it.speechless33 Next years racing is going to be FUN!
Them dam rear tires are gonna have fits.I hope by then slicks will be more availible.Becuase i'm thinking everybody's gonna be burnin the crap out of their tires fighting for traction.

I am beginning to question my use of IRKs on our engines. On every one of ours that has an IRK, we have had clutch issues (grenaded clutches). now granted, we are VERY HARD on clutches, so it may be that.
But I got to wonder if the IRK speeds the damage up that we are sure to have anyway.thinking_smilie

I still love the inner rotor kit though.Since this motor seem to spool up rather quickly with the outer rotor.I will try it with one,i do know i will be putting an inner rotor on it the motor eventually. Well when i get the motor should be the first of Jan or the end of Jan.LOL i'll have the motor before the bike is finished.banghead

There is a whole debate about the V2 race head and 4valve head at planetminis.Did you read the whole thread or bits and pieces.Because if you read the whole thread then you would have read what else he said about it. Which someone had posted up a good point.It seems like theres a vendor war going on over there.So it seems that once one vendor gets the jump on another with a potential hot product.Then the vendor that seems to be behind has to try and dis-credit it in some kind of way. Now the selling point for me was that some good friends gave me first hand review.thumbsup2 Besides firepower has not tested one sooooo on that note.What does it sound like to you??????? Man these guys are gonna have you kids brain washed before you know it. If he's not man enough to run one then should everybody follow. Not i said he who thinks outside the box. Hell i'm still waiting to blow up my yx motor.Which i could remember a bunch of people saying they won't last.LOLOLOL
Remember if your gonna tell someone elses story tell the whole thing.thumbsup2 Now on the bench and in a bike testing is to totally different veiws. Trust me Firepower knows what's going on that's why he has them.So he don't get left behind in the vendor war.You gotta read between the lines when it comes to vendor's posting over there.

How much HP you think you got right now S 17-18 maybe 19???? JWAfter hearing what my friend's motor was pushing after he had it tested on a dyno.His motor is a 184cc with the stock head and stock 26mm carb. His motor peaked out at 12hp to the rearwheel.I thought it would be making atleast 13 or 14hp to the rearwheel. So i'm guess if i'm lucky i might be at 14 or 15hp to the rearwheel. I'm not so sure of these Hp numbers now. Heck i could probably be at 12 to the rearwheel.I wouldn't be surprised.thumb_down

I should be at 15hp to the rearwheel.But unless i put it on a dyno to see it. I can't spit out numbers as fact only speculation.
If a yx150 stock is suppose to be 11hp @ the rearwheel.With my setup i should be good for 3 to 4 more hp gains easily.:dunno: The only thing a can say is.The bike is very fast.I could probably get more out of the motor if i try a few things.It seems to be running great so i'm gonna leave it alone.thumbsup2

i have a place that will do mine right now, i just dont really want to spend the money with the stock 125 head on there, its nice on the low rpm but at high end it runs out of butt
i hate to be the guy thats always like 'soon i will do this' bla bla bla
thats why i never went into the turbo much or the dyno, it will happen when i post the print out and it will surly be impressive, or disappointing, either way its good nation knowledge
that 184 must have had the worst tune on it possible, a crappy carb, restrictive exhaust, a stupid dyno operator? idk
anybody know if gearing will play a role in the dyno?
like for racing i like 14/28, but for the street i like 17/28 bc of the higher topend
which should i dnyo on for the best numbers? 14/28?

12-26-2009, 04:59 PM
I was going by feel fellas. Also i did mention his carb was a stock 26mm.On the dyno it showed that the carb was to lean.The sad part is his bike ran perfect and i do mean perfect all weekend.even lookin at the spark plug it didn't show it was running lean.He told me why it didn't register a lean reading on the sparkplug but i forgot what he said.
I'm pretty sure i'm making some decent hp cause my gearing was high and my motor only makes topend hp.Though when i got passed my friend a blasted by him.LOL So this has seriously got my thinking about saving for a Dyno. Either move to Va or stay in Nc and purchase a dyno plus forget about building another street rod.thinking_smilie LOL

S as much as i would love to that bigger bore/stroker doesnt come with its specific race pipe ><
the pipes on this bad boy is really different instead of it haveing the normal 2 bolt stud it has 3 of them and im quessing the expansion chamber is huge!

but ill try to make it to sandyhook just need better suspension for the scooter. and maybe a bigger carburator and better cylinder kit.Sounds like a lot of $$$$$$$$$.Plus it's still a race 2stroke setup which means rebuilds often. I like 2stroke it's just that now the power of the 4t's seems to be simple and at a lower cost to get you what you need.Especially when it comes to just bolting up a motor into the mids.No welding or fabricating needed.thumbsup2
here you go S i know your into the YX motors but i thought you would like some eye candy anyways I like motors in general and was pullin for lifan to come out on top.I still have hope for them it's just that the yx or the klx/honda motors have a ton more upgrades.That alone to me is well worth it.Options I'm still hoping lifan have something up their sleeves.:dunno:
Oh i see your watercool kit and i raise you.
You know i'm strictly about racing so if it's not on the track then.:dunno:
Besides hp doesn't always translate into a win at the track.

Imagine how much rep these little bikes would get if they were featured on the speed channel or were on the cover of a bike mag. I'm not saying stock though, like swheel's bike gets featured on them. I think a few people would drop the motards and swing by here and pickup a mid. The only thing is no one wants to pick up a stock mid, cause they SUCK!!!

honestly you must deal with some really crappy and slow scoots....specially if there that slow..my zuma sounds more like a dirtbike just with one gear and does right about now 62 mph with the small list of mods ive done
and as far as the polini big bore goes either the 70cc evolution (400 dollars) gets around 4,000 miles before a rebuild and still gets 21hp.

there isnt many zumas here cuz of the redicious price

and for what? to look cool on a zuma?
you coulda had a mid better than mine with all the money you spent on that zuma
X7rocks
03-01-2010, 06:39 AM
honestly blitz it just seems like you have your mind set on the midbikes only...
i take to consideration how i might get hit on the road with a midbike (cause here in waldorf not alote of people know how to drive) and as far as the rebuild goes since the walls are nikasil plated there is no cylinder replacement only ring and if needed the piston thats only a 50 dollar change.
"you could have had a mid better then mine with all the money you spent on the zuma" well...thats the part that sucks about growing up with my father....i needed a way to get around and hes not funding like alote of other kids around me. so i found the zuma at a good price and took it,and since it wasnt doing so well in traffic i upped it up. i have my eyes set on anything on two wheels.not just mids. and surprisingly your the only person that has given me such bad rep about it blitz =/ id thought as a fellow motorist you wouldnt rag on the scoots like that.
and gopeds are california brands scooters no lights or anything,in the state of maryland my scooter is considered a MC now due to the engine size...

Well i had my 180cc 4valve motor for a while now.(months lol)Just sitting in the box till i can figure out what i want to do with it.thinking_smilie
Doug@xmr and Luise@xmr said even in stock form this motor is truly a BEAST! Doug said it's also a sonuva B to get started because of the compression.Bent and broke kick starters had already happened to them.They also said jump starting them is not an option.The motor just locks up the back wheel even in 4th gear.
If i remember correctly Doug said the number for hp were 15hp to the rear wheel in stock form( i do believe this was with a 26mm carb on it).But this came from the company sooo.:dunno: The bore and stroke is 63x58=180cc Definitly a high torque monster.Plus this would explain why the compression is so high as compared to the 57 strokers.
I think if i do use this motor of course I'll be building a bike around it for it,just don't know what.:dunno: Fuel injection feeding this beast was one of my other goals.Well i was all for it,just can't see myself dumping more money into a build that will spend more time up on bike stands than on a track or in a lot riding. I can't build a shelf queen never been my style.

I could take it up to a little over 200cc fairly easy too. Probably won't be good for nothing but a tractor pulling contest.

Chillax there buddy i just call them as i see them about the scooters where i live.Plus my midbike stays on a track,parking lot or in the garage waiting till the next track day.When i first got it a took a few spins up and down the street. I got bored with that real quick.thumb_down
I've beat'in bikes on the track that had over 22hp to the rear wheels.So i don't think 18hp will be much concern to me.I'm not the type to rely on just hp when i race. Also (fact) the one time i did get to face off on the track against one those so called suped up scooters.It was a no contest period! I went right around it on a shitty running HYBRID MOTOR a worn out tt91 front tire and a rear slick that was so worn out,i had to throw it in the trash.Hmmm i think i still got pics of that tire.The guy that had the built scooter was really cool.He us all the things he did to it.Had the polini 72cc bigbore kit,the exhaust was done up and few others.He kept rambling on about it and yes it would pull wheelies too.
Hey if your scooter's that fast take it to the track and race it that's what i'd do.Well when the USMGP comes up this year.Maybe you can bring that scooter and race it with us.thumbsup2 This is why i like racing,cuz all the shit talking ends right there!
Getting over 20hp to the rearwheel on these hybrid motors is only a few bolt on parts away.
Oh FYI i don't care what type of machine it is.If it's supposed to be fast and it's not used to it's full potential like on a track.Then it's totally worthless to me!

just talked to the guys at xmr. they say that this motor has plenty of torque, the only thing is that he told me that he hasnt ran it in a x bike, just a metrakit. he also said that the motor might be too long for the x bikes and rub the front tire. Another thing is that they havent run the tak 178 scut kit or the tb184 bbk so they dont know how the power compares to it but there is a 194 bbk for this 180cc monster :yup: oh shoot, i forgot to say that there are no aftermarket parts for it; no cams, no of that stuff but there should be stuff coming out soon. S, this motor probably wont have much more power than your motor but then again it is stock so you can always build it up

S, this motor probably wont have much more power than your motor but then again it is stock so you can always build it up I think Doug ment to say the never raced it on a track in a xbike.thumbsup2 He did try it in his x12 first before they put them in the metrakits.In one of my earlier posts,i spoke about what they said when they test rode it in Doug's x12.:yup: This was waaaaaaaayyyyyy Baaaackkkkkk soooo.The info and findings are there.This motor might not fit for those who are not crafty enough i guess.As for myself i'm not worried at all about it.
My motor is a decent built 165cc of course this motor isn't gonna out power minds on top.When i drop it in a bike or what ever i do, it will most definitly be making more power than my motor.Otherwise it would defeat the purpose of me buying it. Theres a difference when your talking stock big blocks vs mod big blocks. I can blow pass a stock 150cc like it's a 110cc motor.But that doesn't say much.Hell i blew pass a basic 184cc on my 165cc motor like it was standing still.LOL Your not telling me something i didn't already know. Usually a big difference stock vs mod motors.thumbsup2
Besides i'm looking at the potential of the motor and i see somethings.

I also talked to vince about the 4 valve heads; he told me that these heads are supposed to make more power up top & that the v2's are supposed to make more mid range power. The thing is though is that you have no cam options for the 4 valve and you can always put a s35 cam in a v2 and have more up top power

Well here's what i'm gonna tell ya.I've seen dyno charts that somebody did on a forum using the 4valve head.He pulled 15hp out of a stock 172cc 4valve with the stock cam.He said he could have got more.But that's what he aimed for.thumbsup2 Like i said i see potential and when i'm ready.I will get the job done.:yup: Also there is another aftermarket roller rocker 4valve head out too. It won't be long now........:yup: Besides the yx 4valves are relatively new so of course they don't have aftermarket cams(that most people don't know of) Just like my V2 head,they are just now getting and aftermarket cam.Yes you can use takegawa cams in the V2.But those are not designated V2 head cams.Get it. So on that note theres a cam out there for the yx 4valve.Nobody has tried hard enough to find it.Me i have an idea and i'm willing to try it. Just like i figured out a way to convert the stock yx 2valve to a roller head.thumbsup2

yea that 180 4 valve motor is crazy but for the same price you could get a built up 184 motor from ahp or tbolt. You would still have more room to build up also with that 180 though. I couldn't say what I would get if I had the choice right now

I couldn't say what I would get if I had the choice right now I like to build up my own motors for the most part.So when and if it goes POP!I'm not on the phone complaining about it just to hear,sorry no warranty on race motors.
That 184 would be a 186.59 and a 67mm would be a 204.51cc on on my 180 block.Plus because of the longer stroke this will put the piston closer to the top for more compression than the 160 block.So you know what that means. I've said enough now.LOL

"S" is right everyone was trashing the YX motors there for a while. We both realized that the Pit Bike crowd was putting those motor through more hammering than we would. He also searched outside the U.S. for information like I did. They had been used for 6 months to a year in Europe and Australia. Hell they already have billet blocks for what we use now. Just take for example the basic 150cc YX motor. There are a lot of little secret refinements that can be done to it to produce more power. As you go bigger those refinement will transfer into your new BBK if you plan it right. I use BBK loosely everyone seems to think it's the answer to their quest for speed. It's not. Getting the little stuff right is. Which is what "S" has done and continues to do. I am with him on this one. I refuse to go up in displacement until I get what I have running right. I will trash my 150cc until it screams for mercy or I break...which ever comes first.

thats why i waited for the second revision of the yx with the bigger bearing support, plus i wanted to keep the same stroke as the 146
and if/when i do the turbo, i think the klx head has the most potential to flow and perform
