Zx10 air box help
Rosco86 - 6/9/15 at 05:26 PM

Had a mock up of my air box today, it's a rough idea of what I was thinking in card, I'm aiming to fab it up in aluminium, the problem is the top injectors, the std box is to high and out to the side, the new idea is a bit lower but not out to the side, I think if I did it as is I would need a bulge/scoop around 100mm high on the bonnet, I'm open to any ideas if anyone has any,













Also I'm thinking of using a cone filter with a cold feed, mounted on the front like others have done


Just thought i would see if anyone had any ideas etc

Here's Big Macs without the top injectors

Change of plan haha I've just seen this idea, it clamps a foam/k&n filter between the two plates



Also the injector height could easily altered to keep it as low as possible and altered if it causes a bhp drop,

Get some tight mandrel bends and add between the tb's and head allowing you to lay the tb's horizontally, I also run mine upside down to really keep the bonnet flat.

Nice idea I will have a look

Right well I've mocked up air box idea number two just to get an idea of size, looks ok, I've mocked up a bit of wire to represent the bonnet line roughly, also I'm a bit worried about induction noise with this method as it's got to be less than 99db at 3/4 throttle!!! Is there anyway of getting this rpm dropped, maybe a new power graph showing peak power at 8000 rpm say??
