X2, stock M8 reeds with OVS reed stops.

X3 But I have not run them yet so I can not speak to their effectiveness.
Edit : reed damage at 60 miles with this setup.

alot of people are not saying that double stacking kills the bottom end, but i didnt notice any...am running double stacked 1000 reeds...recommended my product tester
i would really like to try the 1000 reeds with the ovs reed stops just to try a back to back comparrison...whats the price of the stops? do you lose any max hp wit the stops?

Does anyone have pricing or pictures of OVS's product? Sounds effective but I've got to see it to understand it

The OVS reeds stops are $100. They look just like the stock reed stops, but are longer so that they fully support the reed all the way to the tip when the reeds are "open".
Boyesen turbo reeds are holding up well. Double stack stock reeds don't last long especially if your running high boost
Boyesen turbo reeds are NOT holding up unless you have the extended stops. Double stacking hampers the bottom end, moreso on the 700 and 800. It is less noticeable on the 1000.

So stock reeds and OVS reed stops seem to be the way to go.

Just got a used turbo sled so I guess I better check the reeds, I hate that job!!

If your going to check just put new ones in,
M8 running 10-12lbs or less just put m1000 read in, the ovs stop could only help imo. More boost and you may want more, on the m1000 I would stock for 6-8lbs or less and doubled for more. Or maybe single with the ovs, havent used one so don't know how they work.

I had double stacked reeds on my 1000 and I definitely noticed a difference. We had two sleds setup the same one with stacked reeds one without and on the bottom end it was very noticeable between the two. After taking out the second set of reeds there was no difference between to two sleds.

Please try ,,
800 / 900 zr reeds doubled up.. they are NOT breaking or chipping evne after 4 yrs @ 26 psi.
STACKED they are softer than the stock 1000 petals ! and have alsmost stock like response and fuel curve..( the dead giveaway )..
its not tension as much as mass that stops the ocillations that frett the petals edges.
I have full length stops to that did nothing for reed life .

Just grabbed a set of 800/900s and I see what you mean. Good insight.
Hey Gus
are you running the full length stops with the zr reeds doubled up then? or you just runnin the doubled zr reeds with no stops at all?
If you run the stock reed stops open them up at least the 1 extra pedal thickness or more. Stock is 11mm so make it about 12mm or no stop at all? I always thought the stock 900 reeds were worth keeping around! I also thought that the M7 reeds were the same? Mike
G
doubled with stock stops set at 13mm. I dont open them anymore so as not to overtension the petals. we have lots of volume and pressure to deal with turboed ,so open beyond 13mm is not on my list.
yes the reeds are the same as the f7 and so forth of the 4 finger style are all good..
I tried one more time last winter, spent a day with the 1000 petals .
Not even close enough to make me feel it worth the time......

Gus, Just another question if a normally aspirated 900 was to use 13mm as a max. opening point with a single reed, do you think it would bend it that far? Or is the max. where AC set it at basically to its limit for it's bending limit for a slightly modded 900? I assume the read stops with there smooth set radius helps spread the strain of the pedal over a larger area rather than concentrate it at it's base. Basically I was thinking of opening the reed stop further but I was concerned that they would break or loose there seal in short order? I also have wondered what the set angle of the reed block has to do with pushing power the moving air has upon the reed pedals? I would bet that a steeper angle takes less pressure and the opposite is true? Thanks for the thoughts!
