i’ll looking for some specific input on my first build: a 650 cc single cylinder. With a simplefire-style charcoal design i need advice on component sizing: pipe and fitting diameter, firebox diameter and length. filter sizes, etc. I’ve been searching around online but some direct advice would be appreciated from those in the know!

bigger is better than smaller i think that if you make everythting the same size or bigger then the mouth of the carb/intake you should be fine =) my car has aprox 1.75" carb so my ristriction is 3" and all my pipeing is 2" i just finnished the upgrade to 2" piping had some 1.5" in there creating bottle necks but there gon now waiting for good weather will let you know =)

thats simple enough. but, what do you mean by " my ristriction is 3"?
okay i’ll stop this thread and move back to the original: Starting from scratch and looking for input: KLR 650 build
i have a imbert style reactor and it has a 3" hole in the core =)
Hi Peter, for a 650 cc engine, use a one inch inside diameter nozzle and a one inch ID for the cyclone. This is for a charcoal gasifier.

Hi @Chris, could combine this thread with @PeterBJanes on orginal thread he started( KLR 650 build ). So he can keep it all together in one thread. Thank you.
