Summary:

The use of MAN-type loop scavenging port arrangements in a 125 cc two-stroke racing engine is being investigated. These make it possible to provide larger cross-sections for the transfer ports, but at the expense of the exhaust port cross-section. The investigation is carried out using 1D calculations with GT-Suite. It is shown that significantly higher maximum outputs are possible in this way. However, this requires large exhaust widths, as otherwise the exhaust port is too small and the advantage of the larger transfer cross-section is overcompensated. Mixed forms between the original MAN loop scavenging and Schnürle loop scavenging can represent a good compromise. To improve the power characteristic vs. speed, which is influenced negatively by the higher maximum outputs, optimizations of port heights and exhaust pipe dimensions are carried out. A configuration with the same maximum output as the basis but a wider power band is also shown. One open point is the quality of the scavenging. Results from the literature suggest that similarly good results are possible with MAN-type loop scavenging as with the Schnürle scavenging of the base engine. However, further investigations are required here
