CRF Engine Tuning parts Categories - CRF, Accessories, Engines, Products - comments closed
Around the time of the Nurnberg toy fair we wrote about some of the new items from CRF and now these parts are about to be released to the public. Amongst these revolutionary products is the CRF Back plate (shown above) that improves the mixture transfer to the cylinder and provides better cooling from the bottom of the crankcase. Also being released by CRF is the double inlet system, that works on all motors and prevents the engine getting too lean or rich, depending on what direction corner you take, by giving the carburettor a constant amount of fuel from both sides of the engine.
Other items include a set of 3 exhaust spacers, in 1, 2 and 3mm thicknesses, that allow you to fine tune the length of your fixed CRF, or Mielke, exhaust system as well a large venturi that gives your CRF engine more torgue and better fuel economy and finally a new conical combustion chamber that is meant to give your CRF engine an extra 1.5kmh as well as faster top speed and acceleration.

Team Orion fuel systems Categories - Team Orion, Fuel, Accessories, Engines, On Road, Products - comments closed
Team Orion seem to have been thinking a lot about fuel lines and back pressure lines, what with the release of their constant pressure device (CPD) that we showed you yesterday and now this multiple line fuel tubing system. The system uses a t-shaped nipple to split the fuel from the tank and then a 2 ended fuel inlet nipple on the carburettor which together tries to ensure that the fuel makes it from the tank to the engine even when going through the fastest of bends. How legal this is i dont know, as the tech inspection at events usually measure the tank capacity along with the fuel line to the carburettor and with 2 lines it may pose a problem?

Team Orion CRF Constant Pressure Device Categories - Exhausts, Team Orion, Accessories, Engines, Products - comments closed
Team Orion have shown this unique and rather innovative constant pressure device (CPD) on their stand at this weeks show in Germany. Created to solve engine tuning problems that arise when you switch from full throttle to low speed, high pressure generated from running at full throttle is still present and it is pushing fuel to the carburettor inlet even though the carburettor is closed. Because of this the mixture will become too rich, causing slower acceleration and wasting fuel. This device solves that.
The CRF CPD acting as a pressure valve system, effectively resolves this problem by regulating the amount of pressure going to the fuel tank. The valve allows a constant amount of pressure to be sent to the fuel tank, by opening or closing itself depending on the engine’s rotation speed.
The eagled eyed amongst you would have noticed this device on Adrien Bertins Kyosho from our photos yesterday.
