Explains how pointless it is all the boy racers putting these scoops on their car grills as it takes a car so long to get to high speed in the uk that its worthless......a bike however is surprisingly easy to get to these speeds..
Got me thinking now of how to incorporate a bit of forced air for the fazer......just for the crack....if im totally honest i would like it allot better if it also sounded the shizny...i had a K&N typhoon on my type-r & the sound that thing made was worth the sound alone even if it didnt make any hp change. 8)
When I had my FZR1000 EXUP, I once enquired of a tuning firm if they could make it ram air (it has the "hoover" tubes, but they only actually deliver air to the area around the cam box - not sure why Yam did this). The firm in question said they'd been trying to achieve this with an RC30 Honda for some months, "several thousand pounds spent so far", and they still hadn't got it right! I remember from somewhere that Kawasaki spent ages and a fortune perfecting their ram air systems. Air boxes are apparently very sensitive things, full of baffle plates and chambers of various sizes etc, not easy to design for best effect.
