..blown air induction 1.0 ..
« on: March 20, 2010, 08:37:55 PM »
..okay, so when the weather turned cold, my scoot began to run a bit lean in the mornings, while okay in the warmer afternoons...

..i up-jetted and fashioned a warm air induction to my filter that took care of the problem...

..now, with temp climbing into the 70's, i find that she's running rich...wanting to "fall on its face" at top speed WOT...

..so I said to myself I said, "self, why don't we just leave that big ol' jet alone and make her breath in some more air?"...

..scary thing is, I answered myself, but that's a whole 'nother issue...  ;D

..well, i remembered zombie and shaka talking about tapping into the fan's shroud and I said, "hhhmmmmmm..."

..so I resurrected the old stock airbox tubing, and with a lil trial and error fashioned me a blown air induction...

...yes i did.....where's sibi now, huh??

...the results are far better than I ever expected...

..gained acceleration speed, 3-4 mph on flat land and topped my fastest top end speed by 2 mph...

..now, the top end speed I previously had was ridng in a line of traffic with a 15 mph tail-wind...

...this run with the blower was same road...but by myself with a 2 o'clock headwind....

..overlook the electrical tape and cable ties, as this is still in it's proto-type stage....

..but it's soon gonna be a permanent, FREE performance enhancing mod!!

Wow!  That is too cool man!  Like a sort of supercharger!  That's pretty impressive that it gave that noticeable an increase in performance!

That is friggin Crazy Awesome!!! One note< that is unfiltered air. Get that sorted out, and I just may give the idea a try myself! 3ish mph for FREE. I love it!

..dude..it works!!!!
...the first time i tried it, was without the brass muffler inserted...
..that was waay too much air, stopped running as soon as i inserted the tube into the shroud...
..the muffler's i.d. is about 3/4"...so it acts as an orifice as well as a filter...

..oh, and the induction end of the tube, I scalloped the opening to create a kinda scoop inside the shroud...

..imma take pics of the pieces, parts etc., as i'm doing the final assembly..
