whitcombe Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Could someone let me know what actual power/rpm improvements the tuned pipe gives over the standard solo exhaust. Any experience anyone? Just trying to find out the thrust benefits for the £225 asking price new? Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I suppose the first question would be, how much £££ is the standard exhaust? SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi Whitcombe, A standard Solo motor is reckonned to be 11 horse power, with a tuned pipe and head it is 16 HP Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitcombe Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Simon, I am picking up a PAP1100AS with a solo 210 fitted with a K&N filter and standard exhaust. The harness also has the PAP anti-torque system. I was going to get hold of the tuned pipe for £225 and a walbro WB37 carb. There is someone on this forum after a standard solo exhaust so I was going to let that go cheap to put towards the carb/tuned pipe. What, if any is the power increase?? By the way, I am the one who used to fly gas turbine powered model jets over in sunny south wales. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_andrews Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 There are a few tuned pipes out there for the 210, but the FB version will drop the torque peak a few hundred rpm and increase HP to 18-20 @ peak. If you have an intake silencer subtract HP/TQ as well as db. With a matched redrive/prop you can extract 120+ lbs thrust from a 210 which is the real world usable figure anyway I reckon. 210 is now the hirth f-36 as I understand it (and these are the folks who provided FB with tuned pipes at least at one point): http://www.recpower.com/f36.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
