Gen. 3.5 is Here for Dirt Bike Applications! Add AND subtract fuel in your dirt bike with Wiseco's Gen. 3.5 fuel controller! The fuel management controller will allow you to fine tune your EFI fuel delivery to maximize the performance of other modifications to your bike, such as high compression pistons, exhaust, intake, or camshafts. Wiseco is now introducing its new line of fuel controllers, available and ready to ship for the 2009 Honda CRF450R, Kawasaki KX450F, and Suzuki RM-Z 450 dirt bikes. These controllers are simple to use, with no dyno or computer needed! With the touch of a button, you can easily adjust three basic zones of operation, similar to a carburetor- a "pilot jet" zone to set your idle and cruise; a "needle jet" zone for acceleration; and a "main jet" zone for heavy loading and wide open throttle.
To find exact model information, visit Wiseco.com and use our year, make, and model search. Wiseco fuel controllers retail $249.95 to $299.98. Wiseco also offers versions for street bikes, V-Twin, and ATV models. See the links below for details. Visit Wiseco.com to see all our products!

The Chill of Snow Season is Here! You feel that cold chill in the air and tune into football games all weekend. You know what that means? It is almost time to bring out the snowmobile! You'll want to give your sled some renewed power this season. Let Wiseco bring life back into your snowmobile season. We've brought out some new models and even skirt coated a few older parts to make them last longer than ever!
First up is the new Arctic Cat F1000, M1000, and Crossfire 1000 EFI piston kits. These pistons are ready go with our ArmorGlide™ skirt coating! This is a permanent coating that allows the piston to be fitted tighter within the bore. What does that mean? Minimized friction, maximized horsepower, and improved wear resistance! Dedicated forgings give you superior strength with electra-coating to eliminate ring and piston pin scuffing. Get the kit for only $394.41- that includes pistons and the top end gasket! Check out detailed information here.
We've brought you a new Ski Doo piston kit too! These pistons fit the 793 engine type ranging from 2001 to 2007, depending on the model. Just to name a few- the MXZ800, Legend GT SE 800, Summit 800, and MXZ Blizzard 800. We've made these pistons light weight so you feel less vibration and improved throttle response. Of course we've built them from dedicated forgings, but these also have dedicated rings to maximize compression. Get our kit, complete with top end gasket kit for only $373.14! Click here for more information.
Our last featured piston is an upgraded version to give you the best possible performance. Get your Yamaha Nytro, Rage, Vector, or Venture ready for riding. We've coated these in our in-house skirt coating facility with our ArmorGlide™ skirt coating. Choose from a stock 9.5:1 or 12.5:1 high compression ratio, available in a 79mm and 82mm bore size. The kits retail from $363.40 to $483.70, so get yours before the snow falls. Find out more information here.

Coupled with Wiseco's brush dome deburring, Nitrde steel XX rings, skirt coatings, and extra stout 5mm wall thickness pins (offset like the OE for noise reduction), this is the only forged piston with the technology needed to properly compliment D.I.
Features
· Dedicated forging. ...........................· Light weight, superior strength
· Generous valve beliefs. ....................· Allows more options for cams and valve choices· Pressure Seal Groove. .........· Maximum ring seal
· Dedicated rings. ..............................· Maximum compression and oil control
· Brush de-burring. ............................· Domes and valve beliefs have sharp edges removed to help prevent detonation
· Performance. ..................................· Pistons have wear and friction reducing ArmorGlide™ skirt coating
· Experience. .....................................· 67 years as the industry leader in Forged piston technology
All Wiseco Sport Compact kits come with 1mm x 1.2mm x 2.8mm XX ring sets. These rings have a stainless steel gas nitride top ring, cast iron Napier hook second ring, and flex-vent oil ring with gas nitride scraper rails. The piston pins and corresponding clips are also included. All pistons have ArmorGlide™ skirt coating for improved wear and friction reduction.
Prices (US) retail: Kit $721.56 Repl. Piston $197.90
Check us out on the web at Wiseco.com or give our sales team a call at 800-321-1364. You can even see this piston featured in our booth at the SEMA Show November 3-7 in Las Vegas, Nevada. See us in booth #22816 in the Racing and Performance section! |

Technical Corner
In each newsletter, we will be answering commonly asked technical questions that come up during a rebuild.
Q: What are the other factors to consider when maximum horsepower is the goal?
A: Compression ratio and Dome/Dish volume determine combustion efficiency and resistance to detonation. Detonation can and will destroy any piston in short order. Lean conditions will melt any piston as any aluminum alloy melts within a few degrees of each other. Most of a piston's heat is dissipated through its contact with the cylinder wall and oil splash. Very short pistons and excessive clearance will melt a piston sooner. Static compression varies more than most people would believe. A piston running .020 down in the cylinder at TDC as opposed to "zero-deck" on a 64cc combustion chamber headed 350 Chevy changes the compression ratio from 10.25:1 to 9.8:1.
People running compression ratios higher than 14:1 are not making more power if it means an increase in dome rise. More dome rise only hurts combustion efficiency which will lose more power than is gained by increasing compression. The current trend in Pro Stock, and others with big-budgets for engine development is to make the combustion chamber smaller and go to 12, 14, or 18 degree heads to make that happen. They are going for the shortest dome rise that gives them the compression they are looking for. The trend is to also use a bigger bore with a shorter stroke to put an engine at its best power potential for a given cubic-inch limit. One point to remember is a pro engine builder will never trade ring-seal for cubic inches from making a cylinder wall too thin. |
