Inlet upgrade?

Forgot to mention, lovely looking Morgan there as well!:cool:

Ta - first long run this year and it rewarded me by the throttle cable sticking. Most invigorating when negotiating shopper traffico_O

Wanted to fit a tow bar so I could trailer the Norton for track sessions - I reckon they'd look good together!

I recon that would be an awesome combination! I started my mk1 capri up for the first time this year yesterday. When I had it running after a total rebuild last year, had the same thing, sticking throttle. Very exciting! Sorta!

Mk1 capri is nice! Years ago had a Morris Marina - for our overseas cousins it's a bit like a Dodge Viper :D and the throttle cable broke so I connected the 'pull twist and lock' choke cable to the throttle. Gear changes were interesting but I claim to have had the first form of cruise control!
 
It seems your memory is going Clive... you forgot to insert the blower twixt filter and cylinder head...

Morris Marina. Bit like a Dodge Viper. :oops: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D well, they both used letters of the alphabet for their name. Struggling to see the other similarities!:p:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

You may jest sir but this big gap has preoccupied my thoughts for days!!! I saw a test of this item on a car and of course it just interrupted the airflow and lost power. But a Rotrex C15 (~£2000) with a brushless motor(~£250), which is supposed to be the equivalent of a 50cc engine for large model aircraft, and a 12 cell lipo (~£200) providing a lift to the power curve at the bottom end on demand. Plus some ECU work of course. I don't need top end power as 135mph is perfectly fast enough ta but I just need to accelerate faster out of corners (see track day pics)...

Got new injectors (on left) and oooooh spot the big difference;

So a quick trip to Mr Ebay;

All fitted with existing airbox and the bum dyno feels like its pulling really well from 3000rpm but could be fake news....

So make a start on the new inlet bits;

Have you decided on a intake tract length ?

BSD in the UK can fit a Power Commander V , and tune a map just for your bike. You won't have to guess with injectors changes. If you call them can you ask if they work with SCS Delta and SXTune ? Good Luck

:D what, not even one per cylinder?:D Yep, saw some reviews, along the lines of we know it's stupid, but lets take it seriously and put it on the dyno. I still think something belt driven would be awesome, but something electric tat doesn't sap engine power to drive would be pretty cool. You could have one of hose arming switches under a red flip up cover on the bars! ECU would be when it see's positive pressure, start changing ignition and fuel.
 
Something like this would be great, but power draw - 198 Watts.
Good God, that's 2/3's the power output of the 961 alternator!
How about a nice little NOS bottle, and injection manifold?
Then a little red "blast off" button on the bars.

I don't think I could stand the embarrassment if they sent the wrong colour!!

Agree, total deal breaker. I particularly like the dusty grey look of the impeller (restrictor?') but it must be so hard to get recycled plastic to have an even colour I guess?

I've studied the 120 page list of compatible vehicles (that's some R&D testing regime they have there :D ). No Norton 961. Blaspehemy!

Mind you, could the chassis handle all those extra straining horses??? (Though why does my mind default to 'constipated donkey' at that phrase?)
'My Little Ponies' perhaps....

I'm actually thinking to ditch the brembos, face them in the wrong direction (I'm thinking two here...symmetry and all that) and using them as brakes. What could possibly go wrong?
 
Beginning of Phase 2 :

Inlet upgrade?



I purchased this from BSD in the UK. Their instructions were good and its all back together and running. Its off to the Dyno Shop as soon as I can get it in.


Inlet upgrade?

Interesting! So what’s the theory here? Would not remappping the scs directly be an option?

Yes definitely ! That’s what you will be doing I hope ? I don’t have any place around me that work with SXtune and SCS Delta. And seeing I can’t do it myself , this was my next option. This is all reversible so get going with SCS And get get that high flow intake map created. And when my Power Commander Map is done we will have that option too see ?

Gotcha! Making sense! Yep, we have places around here that will only deal with certain ECU's meaning we might have to look country wide. Some times that might be a really long trip...well, a few hrs at leasto_O! Us islanders have a different perspective on distance! :D

I'll find out what SCS's rolling road capabilities are!:cool:
