HardIzZlE Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 i am looking to get some new intakes & was wondering if these intakes are good??? http://www.magicracing.com/SRP-Billet-Inta...p_163-1621.html thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 If your going to get that style of intake where they are seperate then I would get this style from jeff. They have the x in the middle of them. Intake LINK I run a boss racing intake. It is the same price as the ones your looking for. It has a crossover tube machined inbetween the two carbs. Pluse it move the carbs back and up so they dont hit on the clutch lever. Pluse it gets rid of the boost bottle for a much cleaner look.

HardIzZlE Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) how does the X in the middle make it better? & could you give my the link for the boss intakes you use plz thx Edited February 28, 2007 by HardIzZlE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 how does the X in the middle make it better?& could you give my the link for the boss intakes you use plz thx The x would help keep air flowing straight witch would help increas flow. I doubt you would really notice any performance difference between the vitos with the x and the srp ones. Here is where I bought my boss racing intake. It was from Inland ATV aka In2glamis on ebay. It says 34mm carbs but it works for 33-35mm carbs. In2glamis Boss Racing Intake LINK Majic Mike on here also sells one that he makes with the crossover machined in. He doesnt have on listed on ebay for 33-35mm carbs. Maybe the smaller one will work or he is has one that is just not listed right now. Majic Mike's 26mm to 32mm Intake LINK Majic Mike's 38-40mm Intake LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardIzZlE Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 ok thx man just 1 more question will those boss intakes work will any reeds/reed cage?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 you have to be specific if you are using vf3 reeds becasue there is a groove that is differant on them then other reeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I run my boss intake with vforce 2 reeds with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 That's a bunch of b.s. :thumbsup: I know that is just the theory of the designe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) I know that is just the theory of the designe. I just wanted to make sure what the concept was behind that feature. It certainly directs the the air flow, but it will never increase it. I'm personally a little suspect of the design, but I don't have first hand with the product, so I'll keep my mouth shut. :thumbsup: Edited February 28, 2007 by FireHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshee Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 majicmike could get you some billetintakes for any size carbs. They looks really nice on there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, I would second that though these intakes will direct flow, they WILL however restrict it. Anything within an air stream will disrupt it to a degree. Also, the more air contact surfaces you have, the more static boundary layers of air you will have. This is basically saying that the air very close to any surface does NOT move and forms a layer of air for moving air to "ride" on. This WILL induce drag and reduce CFM in the intake. Further more, why would you straighten the airflow pattern just before the reeds? The reeds induce air tumble caused by the frequency of the reeds opening and closing. Sounds like another BS product. We might just test that theory on our dyno. Kinda go me thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you know what you are talking about in regards to air flow / fluid dynamics. IMO it's not worth testing on anything. If you were to test it, dropping it on a simple flow bench and then doing the same thing with a normal intake would quickly tell the tale. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, would the reduction of flow somehow improve performance by more organized airflow to the reeds? I know engines, but I am constantly learning new ways to make HP. I am betting this ain't one of them though. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
