Cylinder Head Kit - Xiu-rdi Engineering

[StuJohnson]

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed on here.

But, if not...Curious if any of you have seen this website or even know more about this company.

I find the Electric Water Pump Kit to be very interesting... Never seen that before?

As for the head -- I am definitely not a fan of the Blue. But I really like the idea of how there are 2 outlets that are integrated into the head!!

I have heard of electric waterpumps, especially in small bore two stroke road racing applications.

I find their head design interesting, at least in the spigot configuration.

Let us know how it works...

Edit- So, is it 70 E for a head with one insert, or do you need to purchase the head and an insert separately? 115 E seems reasonable, depending on how it is set up. I would assume that you would then send it off for squish?

I am not planning on buying one. I am going to go the way of sending mine to RB designs down in Oregon. Want to try that out.

I was more curious if anyone on here has seen this company before or have used any of there products. And if so, I am guessing it will be the guys on the other side of the pond.

I don't know anything about them but those look like some neat items. What does Jakobi think?

Xiu is the nickname of Josep Serra. This guy has been involved in some pretty important development projects at both GasGas and Ossa. So I think this cylinder head has very good genes.

I've never heard of them either but looks the goods!

I actually quite like the blue head, but think it would look odd when installed on a red bike. It appears they offer a redsigned head insert for each model (200/250/300), and then for the enthusiast you can start with a fresh block for machining. The question would be, how much close will their 'developed head design' get you from stock, and would it be on par with what a tuner could do with the stock head.

In my experiences with the S3 heads, the real magic is in having it milled, angles cut, comp chamber volume set, etc. It really does become just bling if you're willing to spend say 115E and then still have to send it all to a machinist for massaging.

Electric water pump is one less thing the engine has to drive. Doubt any of us would need every last bit of power out of these engines.

I know that S3 says their heads have more coolant capacity. Does anyone know how much the actual operating temperature is lowered when using an S3 head?

 

[Jakobi]

More to the point.. Who has actually experienced any real world cooling issues with the stock head?
