  • Patent number: 11236668
    Abstract: An engine system and method of operating the same includes a two stroke engine, an exhaust manifold coupled to the two-stroke engine, a tuned pipe coupled to the exhaust manifold coupled to the exhaust manifold, a stinger pipe coupled to the tuned pipe, a silencer coupled to the tuned pipe and an exhaust pipe, and an exhaust bypass valve. Exhaust gases are directed from the two stroke engine through an exhaust manifold and through a tuned pipe. An opening of the exhaust bypass valve is changed to redirect exhaust gases away from the tuned pipe to change a pressure within the tuned pipe. In response to changing the opening of the exhaust bypass valve, the airflow through the engine is changed.

  • Publication number: 20200182142
    Abstract: A two-stroke engine system has a two stroke engine with an exhaust manifold, a tuned pipe coupled to the exhaust manifold, a stinger coupled to the tuned pipe and a turbocharger coupled to the stinger has a turbine portion having a turbine wheel having an inducer area and a turbine exducer area. A wastegate is in communication with the turbocharger. The wastegate comprises a port area greater than about 37% of the turbine exducer area.

  • Publication number: 20200182140
    Abstract: An engine system comprises a two stroke engine, an exhaust manifold, a tuned pipe coupled to the exhaust manifold and a turbocharger coupled to the engine. The turbocharger comprises a turbine inlet coupled to the exhaust manifold through the tuned pipe, and a turbine outlet coupled to an exhaust pipe. A silencer is coupled to the exhaust pipe. A bypass pipe has a first end coupled to the tuned pipe and a second end bypassing the turbine outlet and a wastegate disposed in the bypass pipe.
