Ram air on a carb???

[Wolfie]

see to recall somebody saying it can be done.

what is involved?? what bits are needed??

only thinking of it cause i have read that ram air adds 10%+ bhp, and thought that it might be a good way to go.

Cagers have been doing it for decades using a bizo like this:

Dunno for sure ( to say the least ! ) but am wondering if the plastic tubes from an injected one could be fitted on the bird in place of the present ones that go to the oil cooler ? The EFI bikes seem to survive ok without the added air flow to the cooler ....

ramming it in!

Hi ya wolfie,
I think you would have to use ram air tunnels and modify the airbox to take them. And I think Pete is right about the rejetting. I have got a complete fuel inj airbox if you want to tinker with that rather than muck around with the original. If ya want it, its yours and I will bring it over in Aug.
cheers,
