who uses 62t cylinders?

[chrisdoc0608]

i just read an old artical on pwctoday and some of the guys were running 61x bottom with 62t top.... i have the clyinder and case and am debating on which setup to go with for both flatwater and surf. also will the sport port templates work on both 61x 701 and 62t 701?

 

[WaveDemon]

that is called a frankenstein. I'm running one. I like it alot. Mine was ported by WCF. I ported the case myself and I run a 48 powerbomb carb.

 

[chrisdoc0608]

did they lower the exhaust ports when they ported it?

 

[Matt_E]

It is not possible to lower the exhaust ports (for cheaper than getting an X Cylinder).

I have a Frankenstein with home-ported cases and cylinder, intake manifold, and 48 Full Spectrum.
Very nice motor.
Highly recommended, especially on a budget.

 

[chrisdoc0608]

so next question is the 62t cylinder/ 61x case better than 61x/61x?

 

[Matt_E]

Considering that most 62T topends can be had cheaper than 61X topends, and also considering that most 62T/64X topends have more displacement (or potential for cheap increase in displacement), I'd say so!

 

[WaveDemon]

it can be. it's a cheap way to big bore. I'm up to 86mm, 790±cc

I'm running a full 62t motor in one ski now... it's got tons of power, trouble is, the cylinder is race ported, and coupled with the dry pipe doesn't seem to have the low end hit I get out of my T cased/X cylinder ported motor. It's got sick mid range acceleration and top end though.

I’m running a 61x case/62T cyl. It was built by legdrag so I don’t know what they did to it to make it work. The motor has carbon reeds and a milled head and it runs great with massive lowend. Porting is stock and my impeller is stock pitch but steel. Riding at WOT I slowly passed my pops STX-R which was doing 43 mph. So needless to say you don’t lose any power. I hear the 62T cyl is stronger.

 

[marz831]

Is there an advantage in using x cases versus t cases when using the t cylinder?

 

[Jet-Pilot]

I would guess that most people if they had the option would run a 62T case with duel carbs. If you wanted to run a good low-end setup get the 61x case with a single carb. The 62T case will add a few mph but is not as forgiving. The 61x case is very forgiving and a 62T cylinder is very meaty put them together and you have a very strong motor.

 

[WaveDemon]

some people want single carbs.

 

[Matt_E]

How is the X case "forgiving"? :dunno:

Most people that run a 62T/64X cylinder run it because it's a cheap alternative to a big bore 61X with very comparable power (if done right).
Those folks obviously can't or don't want to afford the 61X big bore, so chances are, they won't want to afford the hefty T cases, either.
It's a money thing.
Additionally, speaking of money....T cases just about require dual carbs (or expensive single kits). X cases run single out of the box. Again, less money.
T cases are better, hands down, but if you're on a budget, X cases can be had cheap.

T cylinders suck, the EX port timing all wrong.

:fingersx:

A 62T cyl will make good power without porting as long as a good pipe is used. It is critical that the pump load is low and compression is moderately high for best throttle response. Also make sure to use a long chamber/limited pipe. Dont worry about which case you end up with, even 650 cases will run well enough for a play boat.

Yup. I run about 170psi, limited B-pipe, lightened flywheel, and 10/18 impeller. Freakin' rips.

 

[chrisdoc0608]

how would a coffman pipe do until i get a b pipe

 

[Matt_E]

Better than stock.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

good enough that you will wait on a REALLY cheap B pipe.

Ive ridden 2 boats with 701 motors and B pipes,( compared to my 650 + coffmans pipe powered boat) that do not have the same snap, and barely have better top speed.

dont ride the hype.
