Cold air feed for induction kit

[MarkS]

Haha that's epic!

Did you make it out of drain pipe?

[Ben Lessani]

Yeah, lol.

All in all it set me back about £20 for the filter, drain pipe and reducers.

Plumbing fittings are the shizznit for bodging.

Haha that's ace!

Don't suppose you ever got to compare before and afters on a RR did you?

[Ben Lessani]

Lmao - RR, not a chance, did you not see the engine is the same size as the battery on that car?

It was a toy little 1.4, probably about 3 bhp.

[MarkS]

Haha true true!

Either way, 10/10 for ingenuity!

If you like the drainpipe induction kit - you'll like this (well if you're into Prosumer filming / mountain biking)

I do nightime mtb downhills but couldn't be bothered paying £150+ for a set of lights, so I built these bad boys out of 35mm plumbers fittings





Its two 50W MR16's, wide and narrow beam. But recently, I've been doing nightclub event filming so I had the choice of spending £400+ on proper continuous night illum for my XL1 or just cutting up some tuppawear tubs to make diffusion filters and a slight mod and bolting it into the boom mic holder

Lets keep on topic ey lads

But I had like 4 cold air feeds to my air filter on my 106 a few years back and that thing absolutely ripped, along with lots of other little bits. 1.1 but eate most things up to 1.6 Did actually knob and escort in that thing, and i mean a Ford Escort before anyone gets the wong idea!

So imo, keep it tidy but have as big and as many tubes you can get.

[Ben Lessani]

Booooo.

IMO, I really doubt any cold air feeds are going to do anything for you - you'd be better off sticking with the wing air feed with the std box - that way its not drawing in any 'hot air' from the engine bay.

But TBH, when you're travelling at 30mph+ the volume of air going through the engine bay is so vast that any cold air feed is just negated anyway.

[sidecarphil]

well this is my cold air feed

it came from a little known aussie racer whos first bike was a ZXR750RR and he was helped out by Kawasaki to sort his bike

he finished his racing career last year on a Ducati in world superbikes

looks like a piece of poo but with the carbs set up for it another 12 BHP



cost a blooooody fortune but it is a genuine part from Troy Bayless

The likes of one of these however might make a difference.
