Popular Post Roman Posted October 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2021 Test fitted ok but need to figure out the filter situation. Pod filter is easiest thing for now So on to version 3.0 to see how this fits And artists impression 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toucan Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I feel like it fits in there too well, the uninformed may think it is stock or some off the shelf part and not truly appreciate the effort you have gone to here. B+ 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Roman Posted October 24, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2021 Nearly finished this bit, and the lid part is currently printing. Having a 3d printed core is 100% cheat mode for carbon stuff haha. It makes drilling/filing the holes super easy, because I can just work from the other side and shows me exactly how far I need to go (a few of the holes as pictured need a little more work with the dremel) Most of the work is sanding down sharp edges, I dont think I've experienced any splinters more ruthless than from CF. Definitely 100% do not want to get that shit in your eyes/lungs/whatever. Although I've got a setup that can do vacuum bagging and /or resin infusion, or making 2 piece moulds to make a 100% carbon part. Wet layup and retaining a thin printed core provides excellent results that is about 1000 times less effort. It's also nice because you can retain 3d features like upstands for clips or bolts or whatever, rather than being left with a super thin material that you then have to add stuff to. Which is another time consuming step where you could get things put in the wrong place. A++ would cheat again 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Roman Posted October 31, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2021 I got a lid printed, clearances are tight. On this one I waxed up the printed part and then popped the carbon part off when it had finished. I might redo it the proper way and make a female mould so everything stays nicely flat on the outside. Because it's a bit bumpy. This needed a lot of sharp bits trimmed off because of my caveman methods. However in the meantime, from a functional perspective - it is, in fact, a lid. Still need to figure out how to seal it on nicely. To be honest it's got a few issues. The primary annoyance is that it hits the bonnet on the curved part near the headlight sometimes on decel. The angle of the pod filter pipe would be nicer if it was back a little further, on a hard decel the filter bonks the bumper sometimes. Which gives you a hell of a fright when you're half expecting a rod to fly out the block every time you're doing 8500rpm This is why I really needed a filter! I'm running on about 30% biofuel I sealed the lid on with some duct tape and it's absolutely incredible how much it's reduced the noise level compared to open trumpets. I'm seeing zero changes to the fuel table (so no indications of being a restriction) However I just cant believe how much it's killed the intake noise. It's still got a 100mm dia opening, and at least that much cross sectional area as the pipe goes up. Obviously it's not great to kill all the cool intake noises. But man I feel a whole lot better about driving it late at night around the place without annoying everyone haha. Now that I know it's definitely not restrictive as-is, I might add a bit more clearance in a few areas. I'll add a boss for the IAT sensor and a pipe fitting for crankcase vent gas. Also, all of my trackdays got cancelled. Hopefully a Meremere test day will still be going ahead in about 2 weeks. bonus content from slightly prior to the noise killing airbox 25 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
