Welcome to the mad house!

I've nearly finished a ZZR powered Indy, so if you need any info just let me know.

Cheers

Mike

The ZZR air intake set up on a bike used a couple of ram air scoops into a massive air box, then through a flat filter to the carbs. As far as I know (and I may well be corrected here) the ram air effect only really helped at over 100mph. (I spoke to a guy who rode a ZZR and he said it was like a turbo coming on between 120 and 150 mph, but that could be "pub talk".

It would be difficult but not impossible to utilise the rams if you have the whole bike, making some scoops in the nosecone above the radiator and ducting back to the air box, as the air box has a round inlet. So you could join the two boxes with that silver ducting.

However I couldn't fit the original airbox under my bonnet line (the MK has a big bulge in the bonnet and the chassis is 1 inch higher than book dimensions). I tried turning it over but no joy.

I am at the minute running without an air filter. Triton was making a mould for a universal airbox which would use a cone type filter remotely fitted below the radiator, but has been away on holiday, so I guess that's on a back burner while he catches up with real work.

I am reluctant to use a dome or foam type air filter with the MK bonnet scoop as cylinder 1 will be directly in the air flow with the others effectively being masked, which may lead to no1 running lean?

Hope that helps

Mike

I joined them together with a t-piece and just vent them under the car at the mo. They originally went back into the airbox. I think they are breathers from the carbs. In normal operation they should just sit there doing nowt.
