Competition New competition head?

[steveinaz]

can this work on a cummins(in theory)?

I pulled this from the site;

The Coates Spherical Rotary Valve Engine is the most advanced in the world, with the most positive valving system ever built. The breathing capabilities of the system are almost double that of a poppet valve. For instance: a static test of a five-litre poppet valve engine on an airflow machine produced a reading of 133 cubic feet per minute (CFM) with valve fully opened. The five-litre Coates Spherical Rotary Valve Engine on the same machine, however, produced a reading of 319 CFMs fully opened; a colossal advantage in airflow comparison. A five-litre poppet vavle engine tested on a dynomometer under the same loads and conditions at 5500 produced 480 BHP and 454 foot pounds of torque. The maximum RPMs on the poppet valve engine were 5700 RPMs; the Spherical Rotary Valve Engine in comparison reached 14,850 RPM's, The Coates Spherical Rotary Valve comprises two spherical rotary valves assembled on two separate shafts - one for inlet and one for exhaust. They rotate on ceramic carbon bearing with no oil lubrication, the spheres do not make contact with any part of the housing. The seals are a floating type and are also made of a ceramic material. They have two piston rings and are floating in a small cylinder-type chamber, they are activated by the compression and the combustion strokes of the engine which allows 100 percent sealing effectiveness, when compressed.



Because the valves rotate away from the combustion chamber and are vented and charged on the opposite side of each sphere, this creates a lower combustion chamber temperature, allowing for higher compression ratios to be used thus creating an extremely efficient engine. Some of the Coates Spherical Rotary Combustion Engines are at 12 to 1, 13 to 1, 14 to 1 and 15 to 1 compression ratios depending on the application

I had that motor on the dyno, for a month , they never made fire!!!!!!

 

[steveinaz]

The gasser or the LPG 855?

 

[steveinaz]

855 Cu. In. displacement

Inline 6 cylinder

480 BHP

Patented CSRV technology

Ultra high 18:1 compression ratio

Ultra low emissions: single digit THC/ppm

CSRV head requires zero maintenance for life of engine

Engine oil replacement interval at 8000 hours instead of typical 400 hours

low fuel pressure

Adaptable to natural gas and propane as well as digested gas and landfill gas

Standard custom engine control provides precise timing and control for reduced emissions and fuel costs

C86CE's tremendous torque allows rpms to be turned down to reduce fuel consumption and still maintain constant torque capability

CSRV plus counterweighted crankshaft help reduce engine vibration for ultra smooth running



HP is low but this has no turbo and is LPG. Also, 8000 hours on a oil change?

I haven't seen that for a while. I wondered what happened to it.

 

[TnLRacing]

Keep'em comming Comp, another one of your well thought out and Positive posts :-laf

 

[KYLE4]

That looks like an excellent design

 

[COMP461]

I was not trying to be negative , but the guy that is behind that motor design was IMO milking a few investor and grants . this was about 5 years ago, the engine set on out dyno, for a long time the guy spent a lot of money on dyno fees , and the whole design is in error , it will not work.

 

[JoshPeters]

Just wondering..... why won't it work? Valves are just "windows" that open and close. Round windows or mushroom windows... . who cares... as long as the windows are opened and closed on time.



Just askin... . not flamin!

[Hohn]

IMHO, a rotary valve design could be made to work, and could be totally superior to a poppet.



I would like to see the axis of rotation shifted 90° to be vertical. This would allow a superior chamber shape, imho.

COMP, from a guy whos first burnout with a Diesel filled his cab with smoke, I'm not sure you even have enough sense to comment on this!!





Anything to eliminate valvetrain, is a good move. More power to those guys for thinking outside the box.



The 5. 9 head is the weak point, it would be fun to try something like that.

 

[COMP461]

I started working , and not just driving the truck about a week after that fiasco, in 9 months I ran faster then any one else ,including people with unlimited budgets

 

[Green Machine]

Comp461--- How come it does not produce any power or "FIRE" as you say. You probably know a heck of a lot more than me but I thought I saw a write up of this cam system on a Ford 289 that made 500hp to the ground running pump 89oct. fuel. This was about 2 years ago in a Ford mag. Was it all smoke and mirrors? Or did the Guy Milk you for a bunch of Dyno time. Come on fess up what was the deal. How much power did it make and what model was at your shop? What problems did it have and where is the project now?

Thanks

Ron R.

 

[JoshPeters]

Right now the only smoke and mirrors I'm seeing is Comp..... he says he's tested..... but won't talk about it. He hasn't even said that he cant talk about it because of... ... whatever.



Comp strikes me as a Jeff Gordon type..... get all the good stuff and just drive it. Can't tell ya what's under the hood..... Uhh it's a Cummins... ... but can drive.



Sorry Comp... . But I've seen quite a few of your posts. I'm not the smartist guy out here... . but you talk alot of smack for a guy who just showed up on the Diesel scene.



Josh

 

[SpicyJam]

Well the way I see it, the POS won't work either. How do you figure the thing are whatever you call it will seal while the charge or exhaust is taking place. Josh funny thing is, while reading your post, Comp called the Fat Kid as I was reading, be careful whom you are talking about smoke and mirrors when you you yourself may not have the facts.



BTW we were just wondering if you yourself are up and running yet, since I have not talked to you latley.

The guy behind it came to our shop , from Self Racing Engines where they had already spent a year with him . He told us all the big stories on this motor , how it had already achieved all the same hype as listed here. we put it on the dyno, and did a great deal or machine work to his specifications. He brought a group of investors in ,sold them of the fact that all this hype , was fact , that the engine was completing a extensive testing period , collected a lot of money , applied for , and got a big government grant , paid us , the funny thing the motor never made a single noise, really look close at the claims they make



480 BHP from 855 Cu. In. displacement that’s not very efficient, like . 55 hp per cube , the Chevy trailblazer I6 makes 280 form 256 cid





CSRV head requires zero maintenance for life of engine right , what besides a 12 valve Cummins will run forever



Engine oil replacement interval at 8000 hours instead of typical 400 hours at 30 miles per hour average the interval goes from 12,000 miles to 240,000 miles right

low fuel pressure and what dose that have to do with any thing



Adaptable to natural gas and propane as well as digested gas and landfill gas

Standard custom engine control provides precise timing and control for reduced emissions and fuel costs is there any thing more precise then a compute controlled engine.



C86CE's tremendous torque allows rpms to be turned down to reduce fuel consumption and still maintain constant torque capability this was another claim back then it could run at full throttle at 200 rpm’s





CSRV plus counterweighted crankshaft help reduce engine vibration for ultra smooth running all modern engines have a counterweighted crank or some sorts or another.





This is an attempted to get another grant , meaning your tax dollars, some of this stuff is like telling a perspective new car buyer , and I now quote the famous car salesman Jacky Cooper “ this automobile has SAFETY RIM WHEELS , and SAFETY GLASS” when in fact every car built since the late 40’s had these items ,it a fraud

never said I couldn’t talk about it , I’ve been busy working on getting us a place to race in the big time , talking on the phone to almost every body , to get the rules on paper.

Comp strikes me as a Jeff Gordon type..... get all the good stuff and just drive it. Can't tell ya what's under the hood..... Uhh it's a Cummins... ... but can drive.

Josh

I did build my own motor , and do my own set of twins , I’ve twisted the wrench on almost everything on the truck, with the exception of the p-pump and injectors , which Doc did .

Sorry Comp... . But I've seen quite a few of your posts. I'm not the smartist guy out here... . but you talk alot of smack for a guy who just showed up on the Diesel scene.



Josh

may have just shown up on the diesel scene , but not my first rodeo on doing something different, Competition Eliminator is a class for innovation.





you like most think that if some one gave you a Bickel chassis’s , and a big pot full of money you could set the world on fire and be the fastest diesel truck around . the MEGA MENTAL GUYS proved that .



Well the way I see the fastest diesel racers around aren’t the ones with the most money I know MADDOG is not a wealthy man neither is HOSS , FULMER , or SCOTT BENZ’S . But look at where each of them is , at the top of the game .

I do have a decent budget , but not as much as most would think, I have to sell old parts , trade and scrap to make my truck go, I work on my truck for free , no one pays me to do what I do. . so before you make a new adversary, stop ,some day you might want to get a little free advice , I do seem to hand that out to any one who shows common respect.

 

[JoshPeters]

My appologies Comp. I get a bit edgy when someone walks in carrying a big stick and starts talking. Your first post on here, caught quite a few people, myself included way off guard. Some people were ready to jump all over you... as you found. I've sat back and read replies. You carry yourself with a bit of cockyness, and understandably so. You have done quite a bit in a short ammount of time.



You need to let the money thing go. I have only mentioned the Gordon thing because you keep bringing up the the money. I don't care what it cost you. I know those guys have done alot as well. Hoss, Maddog, Fletcher, Fulmer, Benz's, all do what they do and don't walk around advertising what they have done. We know you have a very fast truck. The first time I heard about Maddog's crazy fast truck... . was through a Fiero forum! He didn't walk into a group of 22,000 people and say I'm the biggist badist truck out there. I don't want to be a "adversary. " I'm saying this because this is the perception of people around the TDR. Be humble. You'll get more respect. Respect is earned not given.



I have no problems with you as a person, or what you are doing with your truck Comp. Don't take any of this seriously. I'm only offering advise.



Moderators, If this is to warm for this forum... please delete.

no problem , as a few on here know when I first started posting on ADM it was some one , besides me LOL . I then started defending a almost untenable situation. I have race for a while , and do sometimes get up on a high horse , but its me!!!! I am very willing to help any one , well almost any one lol. The reason I attacked this motor on here was , I hate people that waste our tax dollars and are totally fake.
