4 Port Header Sampling Manifold Valve - P/N 000896
(Shown with standard Bridge Probe and dyno gas cooling extensions – not included)
This is an indispensable tool for those who are doing individual tuning of each
cylinder – a practice becoming standard for Yamaha, Ducati, and Honda. This manifold/valve
combination provides individual 22 inch long high temperature flexible lines that connect to
exhaust port fittings on the header, and lead to a rotary valve that allows the selection of each
port by the operator for individual port gas analysis. The standard Bridge exhaust probe
connects to the valve outlet port – making the entire process easy to use
Provided are 4 pcs either 6 mm or 10 mm threaded port adapters to fit on the
exhaust headers (Yamaha and Ducati Standard), 4 pcs of the 90 degree JIC fitting to interface
between the port adapters and the flexible lines, 4 pcs of 22 inch long SSTL braid-protected high-temperature
flexible sample lines connected to a rotary valve to allow port selection, and valve output port
configured to interface with the standard Bridge Analyzer probe. (Valve output port fittings
may be easily removed to allow standard 1/8 NPT fittings to be used for non-Bridge gas analyzers.)
Dyno Gas Cooling Extension - P/N 000889
These Stainless Steel extensions go between the high temperature flexible line
and the port adapter – and provide 7.5 inches of cooling before the exhaust gas reaches the
flexible line. They're intended to be used in a system which operates the engine under load –
where exhaust gas temperatures may exceed the 500 Degree F limit of the flexible lines. Those
who consistently tune their engines at high temperature under load (on a dyno) should consider this
accessory.
The principle features and benefits of the Manifold Valve are:
-
Up to 4 ports can be sampled individually. (A
2 port version is also available)
-
Flexible lines and connections simplify hook up to the bike
-
Standard metric header adapters for Yamaha, Ducati, Honda, etc. make for a
proper gas-tight seal. (Specify thread when ordering)
-
Interfaces directly with the Bridge standard exhaust probe – quick release connection leaves the standard
exhaust-pipe probe intact and available for normal use.
