13 second scooter - nearly finished!

Well what a chaotic week, the ultimate cygnus engine has pretty much been completed and ready for testing tomorrow morning.
Everything but the rear wheel is here and unless something happens during testing, this engine will be finished on time for wednesday!.

Cases came back and the assembly begun this afternoon, rear wheel on there now is just for testing, we still need to arrange the CVT and final gearing....... in all honesty this is the hardest part, you can lose alot of time if the settings on the CVT are off.

Here is the engine from the side with the fan removed, this is how the engine will be run, in the other pics you may see one installed, ignore it.
 Everything has been ceremic coated, we are not taking chances with this engine, it needs to stay cool for about a minute and we think this should do the trick.
Next up is the head.
 26mm and 25mm valves...... insanely large for this engine, in fact i think its a first in Taiwan.
Now the exhaust.
Genuine titanium including the manifold, very lightweight and judging by the length and diameter....very loud.

So there we are, almost ready to go!.
