I am giving actual DATA it aint no inflated 37% number.... I can add all 7ish pistons together and give you bogus numbers... but that is actual data compared to stock numbers.
any one know how to calculate bore size differences? Say from 7/16th "stock piston" to say a 15/32" or 1/2" with stock 17* stroke?
Pretty sure I could handle the monumental task of calculating the differences in the cross sectional area if I wanted to. LOL
Stroke is meaningless for what you are asking - but you are talking a 14% and change increase and a 30% and change increase in bore area over the stock piston. Does this mean that the T500 and T1000 use these size plungers?
See you tomorrow, dear
I won't disclose plunger size..... and I was implying comparative stroke on a 1/2 piston with same HPO stroke on 17*.... I can figure it out to but being lazy today....
FWIW I am only arguing this...
That piston posted is in no way 30% or even 37% larger in cross section.... more like 10-12%.. .4375 stock piston to aprox .46875 to .5...as there is just no room in that body to go much larger than those numbers..... meaning that that pump aint flowing the "advertised" numbers....... Boring out a delivery passage aint going to add flow....the piston bore/stroke is going to do that...
and volume can be increased one of 2 ways... just like the engine... bore size or stroke...as you know it ain't rocket science....
It doesnt matter one damn bit... I said it a million times pick your pony and ride it.... it really don't matter and don't mean jack **** when your running 200 cc injects or less....
A 37% increase to area requires a VERY small increase to section width. Remember, area goes up with the square of the radius...
0.4375 to 0.4687 would represent an increase in cross-sectional area of ~15%. With 7 pistons, that would more than double pump outflow.
Needless to say then, a 37% increase in pump displacement would require a VERY small increase in piston bore.
For example - if the stock piston bore size is 0.4375" (7/16") a 37% increase put it at 0.512" bore. That is only a 0.0745" increase in bore diameter. Basically a 17% increase in bore diameter yielded a 37% increase in displacement. Sounds doable to me - especially when it appears that the revolver is slightly larger in diameter.
For visual purposes - attached is a picture of a 0.437" gauge pin next to a 0.512" gauge pin that I just snapped out in the shop on a granite table.
If you have 10 cylinders, each with 10cc of volume, and you add 1cc of volume to each cylinder, you have increased the individual and cumulative volume by 10%.
Correct. The value Jason gave is the required increase.
The values I gave were for individual pistons were correct but not the totals they represented. I don't know why my brain tried to make the cumulative displacement percentage additive as if it were straight displacement and not percentage increase.
:doh:

You sir are off your game. What gives?
Maybe I retarded myself...
