Weekend Project - High Performance Free Flow Exhaust for Yamaha FZ16


Before I Start here is a disclaimer - 
I am not a professional CAD or Mechanical Engineer to know much about this. Also, All information I have is from the internet and have NO practical knowledge.


Here we go then.
I am currently working on building a High Performance Free Flow Exhaust for my Bike (Yamaha FZ16). Attached is the CAD design I made for the Exhaust (I am not a professional CAD designer but do it as a Hobby - by the way this is my first CAD Drawing). 


I was looking in to Details about how to make a FFE.
I got a formula to develop a FFE.  Here is the link to Document which gives details on how to calculate the Diameter/Length of the pipe. http://www.bgideas.demon.co.uk/tmanual/Tm_Ch4.pdf


Using the above formula I get the Diameter, Length of the header pipe, secondary cone etc.
When I calculate the formula I got Diameter of the Primary Pipe around 30mm. 
I took 35mm as I will have bend just after the Gases Come out of the Exhaust Port. (Bend After 60mm from the Exhaust Port - Please refer Images Attached)


Figure : All Dimensions (Click the image to enlarge it )
Primary Pipe - Measurements (Please refer Images for this) 
From my mock up CAD design I have taken the Main Pipe (From Exhaust Port till secondary pipe) Diameter as 35mm and length of which is around 650mm (65cms). Secondary Pipe Diameter I have taken as 45mm at the Expanded area (cone moves from 35mm diameter to 45mm diameter in about 100mm length). For the next 200-250mm I have the same Diameter of 45mm till the muffler. I have designed a slip-on muffler which gets connected to the this pipe (you can see in the CAD drawing).

Muffler Design - Measurements ( Measurements are taken looking at the Stock Muffler on the bike - Have increased about 10% as of the stock Muffler) For the Muffler I have taken 350mm length, 100mm diameter and Exhaust output diameter without DB Killer will be 60mm (double the Exhaust Port). (ON Stock Muffler this is 20mm) With DB Killer Exhaust output diameter will be 30mm (same as Exhaust Port). (Design - UNDER PROCESS)

ALL THE ABOVE DIAMETER INFORMATION IS INTERNAL DIAMETER.

This is still work in Progress and will post as I go. Here is the complete Album

ExaustFZ16

Calculating Primary Pipe Length And Diameter.

Exhaust pipe length and size. why we need this?.
As the exhaust valve opens, a positive or pressure wave front is created which travels down the exhaust pipe at the speed of sound. As this pressure wave reaches the end of the pipe, it expands and a negative or suction pulse travels back up the pipe towards the engine. 

As the negative wave front in turn reaches the cylinder, it reverses again and moves back towards the end of the pipe. This fluctuating pressure pulse effect can be used to great advantage in tuning the engine. 

If the system is designed in such a way that the negative or suction pulses return to the cylinder at overlap T.D.C., then they will assist in clearing the combustion chamber of exhaust gases.In turn, this will cause a depression at the inlet valve, which will help draw in the inlet charge.

The following formula can be used to calculate the ideal length for Primary Pipe Length:
LengthOfPipe = (129540 x E.T) /  (R.P.M. x 6)

Where:
L = Primary pipe length in mms measured from the exhaust valve head.
E.T. = Exhaust valve duration in degrees from point of valve opening before B.D.C plus the full 180 degree stroke up to T.D.C. (Assumption*)
(Reverse calculation for the stock exhaust to get this value)
R.P.M. = The estimated revs, at which max. power will be achieved minus five hundred.

Example:
Estimated maximum power R.P.M. = 7500
E.T. = 15 + 180 = 195 ~ 210
R.P.M. will be 7500 - 500 = 7000 (Max Power @7500 and FZ16 Redlines at 9000rpm)
Result Primary Pipe Length:  L = 600mm ~ 650mm (based on the ET Values 195, 210 Respectively)

Having calculated the primary pipe length, we must now calculate the diameter as follows :

Divide "L" by 10 to bring it to cms. Call this "L2". (60)
Take the cylinder capacity in ccs and double it. (Say 153 x 2 = 306)
Divide by "L2" as previously calculated. (306 / 60 = 5.1)
Divide by 3.4 (5.1 / 3.4 = 1.5)
Find the square root (√1.5 = 1.225)
Multiply by two and add 0.3 ((1.225 x 2) + 0.3 = 2.75)
Multiply by 10 to bring it back to mms. (10 x 2.75 = 28) = 26~28mms. (Diameter based on ET Values) - I have taken this as 35mm as, we don't have negative pressure from other cylinders as this is a Single Cylinder Engine.

NOTE : 
The Above Calculation is for Multiple Cylinder - for 4-2-1 or 4-1 Pipe configuration. 
Above length is the Primary Pipe Only

*Assumption is the Mother of all f^%$-ups.

  1. Salam ..
    I dono what all the above is .. But it looks cool :)
    Good luck bro :)

Zabbix History Table Clean Up

Zabbix history table gets really big, and if you are in a situation where you want to clean it up. Then we can do so, using the below steps. Stop zabbix server. Take table backup - just in case. Create a temporary table. Update the temporary table with data required, upto a specific date using epoch . Move old table to a different table name. Move updated (new temporary) table to original table which needs to be cleaned-up. Drop the old table. (Optional) Restart Zabbix Since this is not offical procedure, but it has worked for me so use it at your own risk. Here is another post which will help is reducing the size of history tables - http://zabbixzone.com/zabbix/history-and-trends/ Zabbix Version : Zabbix v2.4 Make sure MySql 5.1 is set with InnoDB as innodb_file_per_table=ON Step 1 Stop the Zabbix server sudo service zabbix-server stop Script. echo "------------------------------------------" echo " 1.

Installing Zabbix Version 2.4 Offline (Zabbix Server without Internet).

There might be situations where you have a remote/zabbix server which does not have internet connectivity, due to security or other reasons. So we create a custom repo on the remote/zabbix server so that we can install zabbix using rpms Here is how we are planning to do this. Download all the dependency rpms on a machine which has internet connection, using yum-downloadonly or repotrack . Transfer all the rpms to the remote server. Create a repo on the remote server. Update yum configuration. Install. NOTE: This method can be used to install any application, but here we have used zabbix as we had this requirement for a zabbix server. Download dependent rpms . On a machine which has internet connection install the package below. And download all the rpms . Make sure the system are similar (not required to be identical - At-least the OS should be of same version) mkdir /zabbix_rpms yum install yum-downloadonly Downloading all the rpms to location /zabbix_rpms/ ,...

Access Filter in SSSD `ldap_access_filter` [SSSD Access denied / Permission denied ]

Access Filter Setup with SSSD ldap_access_filter (string) If using access_provider = ldap , this option is mandatory. It specifies an LDAP search filter criteria that must be met for the user to be granted access on this host. If access_provider = ldap and this option is not set, it will result in all users being denied access. Use access_provider = allow to change this default behaviour. Example: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=allowed_user_groups,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Prerequisites yum install sssd Single LDAP Group Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=Group Name,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Multiple LDAP Groups Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = (|(memberOf=cn=System Adminstrators,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)(memberOf=cn=Database Users,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)) ldap_access_filter accepts standa...
