I've got the new Sport Port template

[w/rpm500]

How long did it take to receive your templates?
I ordered thru their site and paypal'd right then.,they collected it shortly there after.. I sent a followup letter direct to RACELOGIC logic requesting a reply to receipt of payment and shipping date,with no return as of yet..

 

[Matt_E]

They've been great with me. When did you order?

 

[w/rpm500]

its not so much as to the when it will be or was not shipped...It e'rks me that they require your email address and then not send a confirmation of order or return email's....(the rest was deleated,as it was my b!tching)
****UPDATE****!!!!!
received em' today the 12th via usps priority.. Sorry to RACELOGIC for my prior bi'och.. 7 days is very acceptable, and its a very good system as received,that most anyone that can rebuild a engine,should be able to able to improve his ski's performance .. will update when compleated.

i just got my templates today for my 750 kawai just thought id show the 750 set up to you guys. its also the 800 kit as well by the looks off it . Have to wait a couple off weeks before ican try it my cylinder is away getting the big bore treatment

 

[sclevela]

what do these things cost?

 

[Matt_E]

Anywhere between 70 and 90 bucks I think.

A crucial thing about porting 62T cases: You HAVE to fill the voids on the top with epoxy, because porting will remove material from the bottom.

do you mean the voids that look like they are cooling passages? i seen a set of 62t cases at smitty's house that had those voids all filled in with what looked like a liquid epoxy, then huge porting and the fingers were removed if i remember correctly.
is there a picture of stock vs ported 62t cases from both sides? The one in the porting thread has two but i was not sure if the one picture was off a kawi.

 

[Matt_E]

There are no Kawi pics in the porting thread. And yes, those are the voids I was talking about.

 

[D-Roc]

okay cool they look so different before and after then that its got to make a difference performance wise. cool i am doing mine this winter.

zerox:cool2: :question:

i sat the sport port templates in my small pin 750 cylinder today and took some pics for you guys in case you are intrested in seeing the kawi template diffrences to the factory ports.in the 3rd pic you can see the template is already 1mm higher on the bottom off the ex port already and you cant see in the pic but it is the same on the top off the ex port as well . so the height stays the same just the with odd the port abd the shape will be changed

In boredom between classes today I was doing a lot of research on porting and remembered this thread, the macdizzy site about cylinder mapping was also incredibly informational. I was just wondering... all you guys that bought the templates from race logic.

How do you like your motors since you have completed them (assuming that you all have)

looking for some feedback... and considering doing some work to my motor this winter because it makes the time go by when its cold...

lets hear it:biggthumpup:

The Sport port is relatively easy to do and yields great results.

what he said, everyone that rode my ski has like my engine.

 

[Matt_E]

And it's cheap. Bang for your buck, it's impossible to beat (not counting hours of work and nervous sweat here!)

 

[romack991]

Thought I would mention this though, if you are not willing to take the risk of scrapping out your cylinders, I would send them to a professional. The risk is limited by the templates since you know where to cut, but if you do something wrong, you could easily lose performance or scrap out a sleeve and / or cylinder.

 

[Matt_E]

Yeah, but doing something so drastically wrong that you have to scrap would take a few hours of doing it wrong. LOL.

Anyhow, you do need to be prepared to at least hone it. If you've never done it before, plan on boring, new pistons and rings.

I did the Race Logic templates on mine after I installed new OEM sleeves I bought from Wamiltons. I was a little nervous at first. Took it to a local shop to check the chamfer, and they said it looked good. I've only put a few tanks through it, and it runs great. Can't compare it to a stock 701, since my previous motor was a 650. Huge difference between them though.

I do have another cylinder I'm thinking about send to LPW now.

 

[w-nut]

its taken me awile (waiting on my new sleaves to be fitted) but here is a pic off my kawai 750 with the sport port done

 

[ski4]

so
has anyone else used this new porting set up on a superjet 701?
results? complaints?
