CURRICULUM VITAE
Name: Luís Manuel de Oliveira Fonseca (LUFO Racing)
Born in: Caxarias/Ourém/Portugal ....1948
Lived in Mozambique between 19... - 19...
Creator of the JA 125 motorcycle, conceived in the era when he was the responsable/workshop chief of J.AMORIM in Sintra . Production of hundreds of this model, conceived by himself.
Tuned Kreidler Van Veen 50 cm3 with rotary valve, 16 500 rpm etc.
Conception, modification and development of many automobiles - chassis, 4-Stroke engines with deep engine modifications, turbo instalation on NA engines, forged pistons distinct from the original ones.
Large experience in the modification of standard 2-Stroke engines (trail, motocross, enduro) into great GP performances (GP tuning, not motocross/enduro tuning)
Musician.
Great smoker.
LUFO's 2-STROKE ENGINE KNOW-HOW AREAS:
Electrics (electric part, wiring circuits)
Electronics (hand-made CDI units, variable curves, ignition timings)
Cylinders (porting, reshape, angles, areas, volumes, exhaust & transfer timing)
Cylinder heads (squish band angles, combustion chamber volumes, corrected compression ratio measures)
Intakes (corrected volumes, reshape, rotary valve transformations on reed engines)
Exhausts (hand-made exhausts using specific mathematical formulas with a GP philosophy within)
Carburetors (correction of the carburation, depending on the given use and altitude)
Deep knowledge of the 2-Stroke engine functioning, can tune any kind of 2-Stroke engine, from 50cc to 500cc, even if it is a monocylinder or a tetracylinder proven by the different RacingSM prototypes .
Frequent studies about new theories adjacent to 2-Stroke engines, since exhaust till cylinder and electronics.
Gearboxes (knows how to use the correct gear ratios depending on the given use/track)
pra mim o melhor preparador de todos os tempos de motores a 2 tempos.
