how many CC is this two stroke engine?

175

u/Dick_In_A_Tardis Aug 31 '20

Based on the cooling fins I'd estimate it's likely the harbor freight 49.9cc engine, however due to some weird advertising tomfoolery it doesn't make quite the power you'd expect out of a nearly 50cc engine. You'll have to regress the timing gear one tooth counter clockwise to really get the power in the upper torque range.

Edit: /s if ya didn't get it. However said technique worked for me on my first "motorcycle"

Harbor freight has engines??? I’ll barely trust a socket set from that place

I think shaving down the fins a few mm might fix it, it looks like a tight fit

Low profile noctua fans could help as well.

Pretty sure this is totally workable with a few simple modifications. It might even open up possibilities of supporting 3 slot 3090

It may not fit, yet it sits regardless. This embodies the spirit of a cat.

It doesn't fit no, it fits perfectly. You can call your ITX build - Naked HOT ROD!

DREMEL TIME!!

What case is that ?

u/Plasmancer Aug 31 '20

I’d say remove just the first 27 layers from the cpu cooler and part of the casing and internals from the gpu and it should all fit then

To aid in fitting, sometimes a Hammer of Loving Persuasion will help.

I'm ready for small PC cases to have bulges like the hood scoops on old muscle cars. Show off that cooler, baby

Well there are always gonna be manufacturing discrepancies to the absolute size of a product. The way i see it, clearly not your fault!
