2 to 1 carb air box


Recommended Posts

I am going to build an airbox for my single carb/filter in the next 2 weeks to prepare for the Hatfield McCoy ride. Unlike zilla, I have actually ridden in water and mud and know damn well that  leaving an air box with an open front and back will not keep water out. Im planning on using some thin sheet metal so that I can use my hobart to tack weld it and also have the ability to bend it. I am not welding anything to my sub frame either, it will bolt on. Stay tuned guy.

are you doing more or less just something to enclose the filter and keep mud out ? i dont have to deal with mud or water so im gonna make more of a tuned airbox. not sure yet what material ill use but i was leaning towards plastic and welding it together. my only concearn is plastic welding might not be suitable for this type of application. theres only one way to find out i guess

a bellmouth inlet tube(s) would be much better than a simple lid with holes but it all depends what your trying to accomplish. if your just wanting to keep mud out with no regard to performance then you wont need to put much thought into the design. lid with holes may still allow mud to fall ontop of your filter, something like a stock airbox would be better than a lid with holes. if you use inlet bellmouth tubes be sure the radius isnt to sharp or the air dettaches as it turns the corner into the tube itself
