Power Valve - Team-BHP

kkr2k2 · 26th November 2006, 23:01

I am a mechanical engineering graduate. During my course we studied about 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. While two stroke engines does not have a valves while 4-strokes rely on valves.

But the technology seems to have changed, atleast i can understand from a fellow bhpian as mentioned below:

Exhuast Power valve is a device that alters the exhuast port height in 2 stroke engines ...gives a wider power band. YPVS and KIPS are 2 systems used by Yamaha and Kawasaki respectively .

so, does that mean the power valves actually are not the main things for the 2-stroke engine breathing, instead they are an enhancement.
infact the ports are still the nose

Power valves are also used on most modern technology 2stroke carburaters where extra fuel is supplied thru them when fiercely accelerating/whenever may be needed.

CBR the device that you talk about is an acclerator pump carb.
