RAM air box
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2015 5:37 am
For anyone who has experience in fitting these for a race bike I got a question for you, or maybe a few
This is probably a stupide question but how well sealed does the air box have to be between the two halves? I can imagine it needs to be a fairly good fit, this also leads me to the fit between the lower half and the scoop. the one I have has a corner of the opening cut away, when the scoop sits in it I can see daylight through it. Will this affect how the air intake is delivered to the carbs?
Also I have bell mouths for the CV carbs, this is a one piece plastic. This goes on the carbs in place of the top plate so question is, as the top plate fitted snug in the carbs, has seals on the underside and they fit inside each throttle body flush....is the bell mouth ok just kind of partly lined up and not sitting flat on top of the carbs. Mine doesn't fit particularly well, is this normal. there would be airflow under the bell mouths across the top of all 4 carbs so it would be like it was delivered directly down each body as the shape would suggest.
I hope this makes sense....iv'e almost finished a 12 hour night shift
Also I have heard different opinions on jet size to use which seems to range from 104 to 118 which seems quite a difference to me. What's a good place to start.
What is good for sealing up the air corrector jets which won't be affected by petrol.
Any help appreciated
