RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

My hot rodded 45 was a lot of fun using some stock Saito parts and some well thought out, yet...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Try radiusing (bell-mouth) the inlet, I did the same thing you did on a 45 with a 65 cam. I had milled the case mill 0.55mm to up the CR and lightened the piston. The radiused carb inlet helped a...

I'm glad to see Saito use real chrome in their cylinder bores.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I like the aluminum seats and the chrome plated liners, sounds like a positive critique of the Saito.

Maybe so, But since there was no Emoticons I can only assume he was serious. That statement could have been rather misleading. Now I did play along asking for what effect toe out produced? I...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Please lets not be ridiculous, that refers to wheels not carbs. Saito did not aim the carbs at each other to improve the ground handling of the engine.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

You mean the single crank throw verses the dual crank throw. My concern is Saito's use of facing carbs and the need for that baffle. Would placing the carbs as shown in the 300 result is a...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Yes Saito made a single carbed and single glow plugged (per cylinder) 300s. So?

That is why I used Independent Runners (IR) systems in my full size race engines, be them carbed or fuel injected. The issue is properly designed. I see a few design constraint (problems) with the...

I know "picts or it didn't happen" is the mental mantra of the web!
But I'll have to agree it is very difficult to photograph a dream that has come true.
