takai Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide Registered: May 2003	Re: Is 5 valve better than 4 valve? Fri, 27 May 2005 15:09 I would be interested on what engine platform they were testing on. The R1 being only 1000cc in size benefits from a smaller port sizing (as does the R6) due to the subsequent increased airstream velocity. However, this benefit seems to significantly decrease as you get over a little plateau around 1200rpm. From the simulations and tests ive seen it appears that Ve increases for 5 valves up to around 970cc and then plateaus off till about 1150-1200cc and drops again after that. Wheras for a 4 valve setup the Ve keeps rising (albeit at a slower rate) past the plateau. Of course this is Ve for head design only. The lamina planes will need to be taken into account as well. Again, from what ive read and seen it appears that smaller engines benefit from a smaller port, as above, due to the turbulent (relatively) air achieving higher velocity into the engine due to a nice lamina around the port wall. However, for larger engines this advantage seems to dissapear and the use of larger ports (duh) is necessary to achieve the same velocity. Anyway enough late night ramblings for me, ill try and dig up the tests that were done on Lotus, and Honda heads for one of the uni projects some guys were doing. [Report message to a moderator]
