Airbox modding

Very impressive work there Tony, it must have been a mammoth task making that airbox.
I like the way you have the two Lambda sensors set-up with read-outs on the bike, and the Flo-Commander which certainly came in very handy this time

Tony have you considered covering the air box in the silver race tape, demon tweeks stock it. A lot of the serious gsxr power hunters cover the air box top and bottom with it to help insulate it from the heat, you could test it on a hot summer day with a simple reptile temp probe stuck in it.

They swear on the sites and forums that it keeps are consistent and cooler air flow

Tried silver gaffa tape sealing the underside of the front of the tank/ above the snorkel area, so that all the incoming air has to pass through the triangular gaps on the frame.
That's necessary so that the pre-airbox section is sealed off and complete, with no leaks.
I still have to find time to make the link pipes so that the air flows in form the triangular holes at the front of the fairing rather than in form behind the oil cooler.

I read a recent article on that tested on a GSXR750. 1hp improvement.

Right, bored now, I can't get the airbox to seal properly around the carb mounting stubs, also when fitted the airbox I made stops you from tightening the carb mounting rubbers. This means that i can't jet it as the rear has an air leak.....
I've spent many hours trying to get jetting right and have now come to the conclusion that it's not going to work in its current format so I have gone back to the enlarged standard airbox I was running and the jetting is immediately better, and the changes made work properly- fit a smaller main and it gets leaner

Sometimes a mod leads you down a dead end.
Still, it was worth a try.

I may still enlarge the enlarged airbox a bit more, there's still plenty of room, and anyway I will sort out the ram air in due course, so that fun's still to be had.

Least your willing to try

Oh, you've got to have a play, you never know what might happen.

To right .
It's just a shame there's not more room to play with .

What happened to the extending stack idea Tony?

[tony.mon]

That depends on how much headroom there is above the carbs.
With a long stack on there is only a few mm clearance to the air filter.
If I place the air filter in the ram air tubes it would leave more room.
But not an active project yet.
