BigRed350x Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 I can't afford to buy one of those CV intake manifolds like trinity sells or anything like it right now. I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried to make their own? I was thinking of some kind of hose comming from the intake boots on the reeds, then into some kind of splitter, then onto the carb, then use clamp on filter where the airbox sits right now. I have the single 36mm carb I will use. Do you think it would work right? I think I will just try and make something and see if it works. Check the jetting & stuff and see if both cylinders are getting equal air/fuel. Do you guys think it will work? Oh yeah, how many sets of plugs do you typically go through when you are first setting up your jetting with new mods? I have all these crazy-ass ideas for shit, but don't know if half of them would even start to work. I want to try and hook up he wet nitrous system I got from a friend. I am thinking of drilling the hole for the nitrous/fuel jet into the side or top of the boost bottle, but I don't know if it would suck the new nitrous/fuel mixture down into the reeds or not. I would think the added pressure in the boost bottle would kinda force the nitrous/fuel mix down into the reeds, but not sure. Or maybe if the rigged intake actualy does work, I could hook up the jets at the Y or right in behind the carb on the reed side of the ghetto-rig intake. What do you all think? And how many plugs do you go through for setting up jetting? Quote
BigRed350x Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Posted November 12, 2004 Oh yeah... I'm not too worried about blowing up this particular banshee engine because it is already bored 80 over and I am going to put a 404 big bore kit on it after I burn up these sleeves. I have a +4mm stroker crank to put in it so if the crack goes all to shit, I have a new one chillin in the garage. I am also putting new heads on it after this particular head goes to crap. So knowing that I don't really care about the top end on this one, what do you think? Should I go ahead and try it, or do you think it just plain won't work? Quote

DIRTBIKEZ Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 Someone else has tried it since I've been here (January/February '04). They used the Graydon 2:1 as a refference. Not sure how it worked. Quote
