The link will explain all. Ram air is possible and gives me an idea :)
Notice how the carbs are inside the airbox? That's to balance out the pressure. And would make jetting an absolute pita. It is possible to hook up the carb vents to a pressurized airbox though.
I looked at that and Im gonna use an old air box, seal the filter hole and plumb in two 2-3" flex hose into it, pointed towards a front scoop. That would pressurize the air box. It wanna try it, test it, rejet if I have to, which I know I will have to.. at least test and try. If it doesn't work, it may look cool... may...
Gonna put a high speed computer fan at the firm the scoop, just below the headlight. I have a small red iris eyeball sticker that I'm going to put on the headlight and the computer fan / scoopis going to look like the mouth. I just need an idea for a front scoop and then I can pay teeth are fangs or some shaZam!. I got mine ccusto, olive green and flat black
That is a very old article. Mid 90's I want to say.
Also look for Cedric Smith's GS500 - called a CSXR (cedric smith experimental racer).
Cool.
Buddha.
What do you think the computer fan will do? If it's to provide air to the intake, it will just be slowing it down once you get over 5mph.
You're right Buddha, I think it is an article written in the 90s, cool one you posted though, that inspires me more.
Think your right Rich, that definitely makes sense, the windspeed of it pushing against the fan would slow it down.. Gonna try it non the less, just trying to figure out a scoop I can mount underneath the headlight.
