Title: SE 110 Upgrade - T Man
Post by: Smitty2u on December 20, 2011, 10:28:12 PM
I was originally thinking of doing the SE 110 Pro Upgrade kit, but I'm thinking of switching gears a bit as that upgrade seems to move the torque curve too far to the right.  The performance tech at my dealer , Buckmins HD in Xenia Oh, has suggested a different route.  Having T-Man do some of the work.  From what I've read here, it seems they do good work.  

Here's their advert for the kit I'm looking at.  

Stage 2 110" CVO Kit (on OEM cylinders)
Kit includes:
Stage 2 Street Eliminator Pro-Touring Heads for CVO SE110
Custom forged pistons made for T-Man Performance by Wisco
Head Gaskets and Base O-Rings
Cylinder Boring and Honing, matched to pistons (Customer supplied cylinders).
Your choice of cam
SE CVO110 heads with matching pistons made exclusively for T-Man Performance by Wisco. This is the perfect performance upgrade for the CVO SE110 engine. Includes the Head Gaskets, Base O-Rings and cylinder boring/honing.
Step up to a mark increase in performance with T-Man's Pro-Touring ported heads. Increased valve sizes with TR's new Bee-Hive*, high lift springs and the legendary TR porting make this a proven Pro-Touring head.
Before any valve work is performed, the heads are prepared with new over-size intake valve seat to ensure proper stability for larger valve installation. This head features 1.940" Intake with 1.615" Exhaust; precision 5 angle cut on Intake valve and Multi-angle Exhaust cut that provides optimal flow made to TR's specs. Precision ported CNC Intake and Exhaust port with hand finished for maximum performance. Fully CNC chamber with hand finishing sized for your particular application. Valve geometry is corrected to insure longevity and quietness of valve train. This is truly a high performance upgrade.

This head provides proven performance upgrade for any build, as well as the perfect compliment to heavy touring bikes!

This head features a 1.710" inlet for maximum performance when using stock and aftermarket TB.

*TR's New Bee-Hive springs eliminate the need to relieve the bottom rocker boxes. This head accommodates cam lifts to .650"


The pistons would be 10.5-1 and the cam being considered is the T-Man 625.  
Also looking at having them do the complete bottom end service (trued, balanced, welded, H-rods, timekin bearings).
V&H Power Dual headers and V&H 4" Monster Round mufflers.
SE Pro tuner.
Woods lifters, new rods, and a heavier clutch spring.
Staying with the stock high flow SE breather.
Last but not least, would be a good Dyno.

If anyone has feedback or opinions I would welcome them.  I am looking for touring power with a touch of scorch in the low range.  I'm told I can expect numbers near 120 & 120 with the torque curve staying pretty consistent from around 2000RPM to 6000RPM.

Again.....  Feedback would be welcomed!

It all sounds fine but in the end wouldn't a swap to a 120r make more power and cost less?
Title: Re: SE 110 Upgrade - T Man
Post by: Smitty2u on December 20, 2011, 11:15:27 PM
Cost wise...  The 120R is list priced at $5800 +-.  This entire project is just a few hundred more and includes new exhaust, tuner, complete bottom end worked over, labor, and dyno.
Here's a dyno with a similar setup.  This example has stock headers.

Max Power = 120.57, Max Torque = 119.16
CI = 110", Heads = T-Man CVO, Cam = TR-625, Pistons = SE Forged set to 10.6:1, TB = SE 58mm, Injectors = SE, Exhaust = Stock headers with Supertrapp Slip-ons, 2010 FLHXSE

I have used the 625 cam in several builds. It is a great cam with a very broad torque band. You cannot go wrong with tman performance work either.

Smitty,

I did the T-Man stage II kit to my 2011 Street Glide. Very happy with the outcome.
I used a Jims crank & rods and SE roller rockers.
She breaks the 100 ft lb mark at 2000 rpm and pulls hard to 6000.

Go for it, you'll be grinning ear to ear.

I had the .625 in my 124 and 117 motors.  Fantastic mid-range cam that I would definitely recommend!  Wish that I had it in my 2012...

Been using TManns stuff in both my motor builds, in my 03 95in and in the 2010 117" been real happy with his products.
on my 95in, 3000rpm i am  at 95ft/lbs it breaks 100ft/lbs at 4200rpms it stays above 95ft/lbs from 3k to 6k rpms, peak Hp at 6k 106hp Compression just under 10.20
on my 117in, 3000rpms i am at 120ft/lbs, 3750rpms 130ft/lbs , it stays above 120ft/lbs from 3k to 5k rpms, peak Hp117 at 5500rpms Compression at 9.8
both motors were built for touring, with Torque, reliability, and fuel economy as i mostly enjoy distance riding.  on both motors AFR is set at 13-1, both bikes have TManns stage 2heads,625 cams,  D&D Exhaust, zipper's air filters, the 117in has Tmanns bottom end work done to it, welded, balance, true'd, with H rod beams.

Since you asked for feedback here is mine.

Please note above he states 95" and 117" not 110.  If you go to many of the sites like HTT etc you wont find many bell ringing 110's.  The 110 its an oddball motor based on crank/bore.  Many on this site have abandoned the 110 and gone to 117, 120, 131's or just put a cam in and exhaust and accepted the 115 -120 tq and 104-110 hp.   The 110 is just not the platform I would recommend going with too many other good choices, been there done it.    IMO 117 or a HD 120 would be better than spending all that money on a 110.   If you go with the Tman build you will have the cases torn apart for the crank, great time to do a 117 or buy a 120 while you say cost, the 120's have been found pretty easily at 20 precent off with little to no effort. 

Good luck look forward to seeing what you decide and how you make out with your bike.

Smitty,

I have done pretty much what you are thinking with just a few differences.  I used the T 662-2, 660 lift cams and was able to bump the hp to almost 130.  I love the way it runs.  I think you would be very happy with that set up.  I have been and with 20,000 miles on the build, it has given me no problems.

Sounds interesting and great number for typical touring 2 up, or at least in my case.
My local HD Performance orientated Shop likes T-Man

Proctor,
Those are some sweet numbers your scooter is turning.  Seeing as how you've got 11.1-1 compression have you had any issues with fuel?  
Do you have the Dyno sheet available to post?  I'm interested in seeing how the torque and hp curves run out.

I do have to add octaine boost.  But it's worth it.

This is not a real low end motor, but from 3500 to 6500 it screams.
Title: Re: SE 110 Upgrade - T Man

The dyno shows 10.8 : 1, but the builder said it is actually 11:1.

I'll bet it does scream.  Are you using the octane boost because of detonation?

Yep.  Straight 91 will make it ping.  I just add a little Lucas octaine boost to every fill up and it runs great.  We could have taken alittle timing out of it, but why!!

Pretty much staying with the original idea, just a little tweaking.Stage
Going to have T-Mann's do his Stage 2 110" CVO Kit with his 625 Cam and compression ratios at 10.75:1  
Complete bottom end service (trued, balanced, welded, H-rods, timekin bearings).
V&H Power Dual headers and V&H 4" Monster Round mufflers.
SE Pro tuner.
Woods lifters, new SE rods, and a heavier clutch spring.
Stock TB and injectors.
Staying with the stock breather cover, but switching to a K&N filter.
Last but not least, would be a good Dyno.

She does look bare indeed!  I told the dealer I wanted her back by end of Feb.  At least that way she's not taking up space in the garage for the winter.
I will update as things develop.

I agree about the 120r but have not heard anyone say if the crank is ok in those motors? He may spend close to the same money but sounds like it will be a prteey solid build. Has anyone had any crank problems with the 120r? Does it still need to be welded up? I think I read it had the timkin bearings already correct?  Thx Face

For those of you that are wondering what the SE Pro 110 Performance Upgrade Kit, Part # 27548-10A, along with a  set of D&D 2:1 Fat Cats w/ Left Side Falsies did or didn't do for me here are the results: 108.13hp/115.53tq. The kit and exhaust were done after 1K miles on my 2011 SESG. As a comparison, on my 2010 SESG, I did just the SE Pro Race Tuner with the same D&D 2:1 Fat Cats and the results were 88.29hp/103.94tq

I love scooter projects....  They never seem to wind up the way they started or at least mine seem that way.  Always seem to spend more than budgeted.  I guess the old saying applies... "In for a penny, in for a pound"
After reading the posts, having a discussion with my builder, we decided a few changes in the project were in order.
Here's the new plan....

T-Mann is doing his Stage-II head work
T-Mann 625 Cam  
SE 10.5:1 forged pistons
4-5/8" stroke Se Pro Stroker Flywheel and rod Assembly, balanced and welded by Revolution Performance
Timekin Bearing
SE 58mm TB
SE 5.3 grms/sec injectors
SE Pro tuner.
Woods lifters,
SE rods
SE Clutch upgrade
V&H Power Dual headers and V&H 4" Monster Round mufflers.Staying with the stock breather cover, but switching to a K&N filter.
Last but not least, would be a good Dyno.

Might have been better to have went the 120R route some have suggested, but this has kinda morphed as it went along.  It's still cheaper out the door than the 120R project.  Of course I would of had a 110B motor with 5,000 mile that I could have sold, but I'm not really interested in dealing with trying to sell the motor.  
Once again....  WAITING....

Getting miles on a modified motor without remapping for the changes can be a disaster waiting to happen. Depending or your changes the fuel maps could be off and can be rich and or lean in different areas of throttle position and rpm ranges. If your builder has a base map for your application then it should be ok but its but to check out the AFR to be sure the mapping is close.

Usually you get a break in tune on the dyno.  Put miles on the motor and then return for the final fire breathing tune.

Is this the general consensus?  A second dyno after a break in period?
Title: Re: SE 110 Upgrade - T Man

Break-in tune.
500 miles.
Final tune.
Title: Re: SE 110 Upgrade - T Man
Post by: Fast FLHX on January 24, 2012, 05:41:04 AM
The standard is for a break in tune, break in, then final tune.

Only debate is how many break in miles are necessary.  I'm not sure there is a big difference between 100 miles and 500.  Heat cycle, let the rings seat, and then all should be good.
Title: Re: SE 110 Upgrade - T Man
Post by: Smitty2u on January 31, 2012, 07:57:24 AM
I spoke to my builder and he said he'd have enough miles and heat cycles on the bike for the rings to seat and the engine to be good to go.  He said it could be close to 200 miles on the bike before he's finished with the last dyno run.  Sounds like a lot of miles, but if he's doing that I think I'll be set.  Only 48 days 11 hours til spring..... Vrooooom

Just wait until the first time your builder fires it up.  It will all be worth it. 

Everybody will know it's not stock.  I get it all the time.  People tell me it sounds like a well built big block muscle car! 

I highly recommend the 30t front sprocket.  It really allowed my bike to run in it's power band.

Good luck.  I can't wait to hear what you think.

I'm looking forward to hearing it fire up.  This is all too much like the excitement of being a kid on Christmas eve.  Knowing that I still have to wait to open my present... lol  I guess therein lies the old adage, The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
I did decide to go with the 31T Andrews front sprocket.  It won't give quite the snap the the 30T would, but I think the 31T will be a bit easier on belts and if there is a belt issue it's a stock item a the HD dealer, not a special order item from an out of state company.

Well in the spirit of change.....  We've made another change in the direction we're going.  I spoke to my builder (Buckminns HD in Xenia OH) and we're switching out the SEPRT for the TTS Mastertune.  Also at the suggestion of T-Mann we're going with his TR-660SM cam.  All the parts were in, not have to wait for the TTS tuner and the cam.  Hoping they will be able to start next week.  I'll post pictures when it gets going back together.

i did a t man build 2 years ago...well lima hd did it for me...he did my heads bigger tb  and injectors  I'm not sure which cam  but it was what he recamended..a kerker 2 into 1...im very happy with it.....dyno said 118 tq 118 hp...they tell me a dd fatcat would be better..but i love the sound of the kerker..bad news is i was in yellowstone and sturgis on a 2 week trip last summer and my fuel pump went out. had it fixed at rapid city hd..left for home the next day  rode 600 mi and blew it up. so my dad came and picked me up...i guess a valve stuck and had to buy a new head and t man had to fix it...jus got it back  i hope its fixed......

Those sound like some pretty good numbers.  Hopefully you're all squared away and road ready.  I'm hoping to see mine finished up next week.  Yesterday riding home from work I had the Jones real bad.  Wanted to be out and about.  I told my gal today I'm in need of some "Wind Therapy".

Nice setup Smitty2u - I'm brand new to the site, and have been reading this thread with envy!!  I just bought a 2012 CVO SE Street Glide, sold my 2007 CVO SE RoadKing and based on the feedback you received from most it looks like T-Man is a good choice when looking to do a major performance upgrade.   I'm going to give him a call, but before I do I have one question maybe you and/or these folks who have much more expertise than me can help with an answer?  Looking at the T-Man website I noticed that he sells a Stage 4 Thumper Series kit for the 110, however I have not read anywhere on this thread of any mention of it?  Any reason not to consider this kit over the Stage 2?  Just curious....

Can't wait to hear that your back on the road and lovin life!!

 I did consider the "Thumper" head work from T-Mann, but had to say enough at some point.  The cost of this upgrade more than doubled once it started rolling.  This project started out a much more basic upgrade, but morphed as I worked with my builder and got feedback on this forum.  I envisioned cams, pipes, and tuner but one thing led to another and.........things just snowballed.  Now the guy who's doing the work on my scoot has the "Thumper" heads on a 124CID and says he's pulling 145TQ.  I don't think I'll be near that, but it will be interesting to see the final results.  He should be dyno tuning this week and I hope to have her back soon.  I will post the dyno and the @$$ pucker review after I take her for a spin.

I am Jonesing to say the least.  I called my builder as soon as I posted that last message.  My bike is on the Dyno, but T-Mann's server is down so he's having to wait to download a base map.  Still got my fingers crossed to get her back Friday.  It's supposed to rain in Ohio tomorrow, which should clear the salt away and make a shakedown ride all the more fun....... :bananarock:

With the stroker crank, the piston travels father down, so new cylinders were in order.  The sleaves which extend down into the case are longer for the longer travel.

No I was going to have T-Mann do his deal with the original crank and my HD dealer, who is also who is doing the build, offered to go to the SE 4 5/8" Stroker, have it trued and welded at Rev Perf along with the new cylinders for only $250 more than just having the original crank trued, welded, and balanced at T-Manns.  That seemed like a no brainer to me.  I know I won't have the fastest scooter out there, but doubt any of my buddies will be walking away from me.

I'm amazed that these builds cost the same as a equally well built LSx motor.  With six less pistons and rods you would think it would be cheaper to build a twin cam than a pushrod V8.

I'm sure the HP will go up, since he cut the Dyno run at 4000 RPM.  Hopefully your build will progress quickly so you can get out and enjoy the upcoming weather.  Mine took 3 almost 3 months, but in all fairness I told them I didn't want her back before March 1st.  I figured I'd let them store my scooter during the winter for free.  Now it's time to get on my bike and ride.  I might take a ride out to the dealer today to hear her run......  :pimp2:

Good luck with your build.  So far I'm grinning ear to ear.  I've been out twice for a total of 100 miles.  My gal asked me last night, after we finished riding, if it was everything I expected....  My response..... "OH YEAH!"

 :2vrolijk_21:  Be nice to see how it runs after a tune.

:2vrolijk_21:  Be nice to see how it runs after a tune.

She's been tuned to 4000 RPM, so I don't  expect the TQ will rise much at all after the final tune.  I do however expect to see the HP rise as I'd expect she'll increase to somewhere around 5500 RPM.  Won't know til it over, but I'll be posting the Dyno for those intestested.

So far she's rock solid.  No quirkiness at all.  Hope the weather cooperates this weekend so I can get out for sum serious ride time.

Okay Smitty I've been watching the weather up there in Ohio, you should have enough miles on that bike for its tune beyond 4000 rpm mark...  ;)     You know I just have to see that Dyno sheet, your bike is setup to run, and I'm all out of popcorn too!!   ::)

We're getting close to having enough miles, 400 and counting.  I guess I should call my guy and see where she'll fit in his schedule.  I'm wanting to see how she runs after the final tune.  We all know the Dyno sheet is not the "Holy Grail", but it's what we all look at as a measure of success.  So far i'm having @$$ puckering fun...... :jalapeno:

Smitty,glad your happy with the build so far.I am chomping at the bit for mine to be done.Supposed to be this week.It was eighty degrees today in NH and my wife was gracious enough to let me take her bike for a ride.1st time since the knee replacement. I am going mental waiting for this to be done.Good luck to you.Fred

I understand how it feels.  My scooter was out of comish from dec 24th til march 13th.  It was a kid on Christmas eve.   Good luck to you as well.  I'll look forward to hearing about your results.

Well I've got 600 miles on her now.  Gonna drop her off for the final tune on April 1st.  I'll followup with the Dyno results as soon as they're in.

Well finally got her back.  Now I can get back to some riding.  Here's the Dyno sheet after the final tune.  I think she turned out quite well, but that's just my opinion.

Why is it that it seems no matter what the build, decreasing TQ crosses increasing hP @ 5500?.

Smitty,
  Nice graph!  Hope you're piling on the miles with this screamer!

Reckoning-
  Horsepower figures are actually derived from torque and RPM readings, so you'll see the graphs cross at 5252 RPM. Someone posted a detailed explanation onit.
Title: Re: SE 110 Upgrade - T Man
Post by: cherryseeg2 on April 14, 2012, 07:25:53 AM
Horsepower equals torqueXrpm(where max torque occurs) divided by 5252 always. If you see a graph where they don't cross at 5252 it's because the scaling is not the same on both sides of the graph.

I watch the Revolution Performance you tube videos and was going to ask them about stock CVO engine parts but Smitty, it looks like you may have answered that in your signature. I'm wondering if there are any engine parts in a stock 110 that are found in the SE catalog. Since you've listed specific parts with SE I'm guessing that our engines use plane jane parts and not hi-zoot stuff in the SE catalog. I was hoping that a lot of stuff would have been included but maybe not. So what about the 120R, does those use better rods, crank, lifters, pistons, heads etc. I'm tossing around the idea of building a 124 but will H-D sell you just the case without turning in your old cases? Like can I purchase case # 24601-10a and flywheel set 23893-10a and build from there. It would be cheaper to buy the complete engine but I'd still want to have it balanced, welded and blueprinted and wonder about cost savings on having a 120R sent to a shop like Rev Perf etc or send component parts? Probably close either way I guess.

I think pretty much the only things on the original 110 motor that's actually high performance are the heads.  I believe the 120R has the SE racing parts already there.  I'm certain Harley will sell whatever you want to buy if you want to build one from scratch.  I would ask why you would not just upgrade the one you have, keeping the same VIN's matching or buy the 120R as opposed to building one entirely from scratch?  I don't know about having the motor blueprinted.  The SE 4 5/8" crank is a much better crank.  I was told by my builder that balancing was not necessary, just have it trued in a jig and welded so that's the route we went..

But with a dyno, the horsepower figure is made up out of thin air, then the formula is used in reverse to derive the torque.  Weird, I know...

I was just thinking about not messing with warranty issues on the stock 110 which is kinda dumb considering I'm sure the rest of the drive train warranty would be gone once they figured there was motor work done. I'm just arm chair racing and dreaming again and I've been thinking about going to a 124". The SE crank/rods would work for that (I think) but I'd need to replace the cylinders/pistons which would be a waste if ordering up a 120R. 6's I guess.

I'm sure they blueprinted your engine as they built your engine. It's just another word for attention to detail like checking & matching combustion chamber cc's and making sure they're equal, sharp edges deburred etc. And yes the SE crank does look much better. Having someone build me an engine via UPS doesn't address dyno tuning efforts and since I don't know who has one out in my area, I'll have to find out first. High Desert H-D in Boise has one I think but I don't really want to do business with them again.

There is a High Desert Cycle in Idaho Falls and I understand he has one but want to make sure that people reading this understand that I'm not bad mouthing the one in Idaho Falls. Sounds promising so I'll check out his business.


Cheers!

CVOTHunder,

A friend of mine just built a 124 using the S&S of a Harley original motor.  He had the cases bored out by Gary at universal machine.  He went with the lower compression pistons and 110 heads and 585 S&S cams instead of the 640's, 58mm HPI throttlebody and Thunder header 2-1.   He is making 138 torque and 124 hp.   Bike is cool running, no issues and really quick with the 585 cam in there.   The bike is a FLH tuned with a PC-V.   It runs so well he just did his GF bike (Fatboy) as well, but they pulled the higher compression pistons out due to heat.  Her build is the same except they went with S&S heads.



Thus far they are both really pleased with the builds.

Thanks for sharing.  I'm trying to get my bike down to T man.   He's not the easiest to get an answer out of but I'm working on him.   ;)    Going with the Stage 4 Thumper series, plus some other goodies.

I'm gonna dream for awhile it looks like. LOL. Other things now need my cash, like house refi.

Thanks Unbalanced, I appreciate the input and I'll look at that option as well when/if the time comes.

And I'm not sure if I sent congrats on your build Smitty. I think I did but if not, great numbers and it sounds like a blast. No more of me h/j your thread and build.  :2vrolijk_21:

Sounds interesting.  My builder has a 124 with T-Manns Thumper Series head work and he's quoting 145TQ.  I'll look forward to seeing your results.
