Chong,
Get thee a copy of Mr Vizard's bible- `Tuning BL's A Series engine'.

On P57 (my old copy) in the section on ram charging, it shows various ram pipe shapes.

I copied this one (sort-of) from the bottom pic, it gives 5.8% more flow than a carb without it.
Also it improves low speed and mid range mixture control, on a Weber or Dellorto. :wink:

Yes I'll make you some I guess. Won't be free though- I gotta buy the alloy bar.

$60 is the price of that book on the web at www.pitstop.net.au but if you buy it in town you will save freight. :wink:

68 just dont confuse it with Vizard's earlier "how to modify your mini".

Doc could you put me down for 2 45's?

I've got a pair of the tiny 1 1/4 inch stacks that go inside the K & N filter. When one of them cracked I've tried to find some more but everyone seems to think they dont exist as Kevin said. (Minispares only do 1 1/2). So we had to weld the existing one.

Yep, 2x45s.

I just gotta work out total numbers, then buy some 70mm alloy bar... :wink:

Oh so I need 'Tuning BL's A Series engine' not 'how to modify your mini'

I'll have to check at lunchtime which it is...

[EDIT] This one right? http://www.pitstop.net.au/pitstop/prog/ ... M&PLU=8858

Get the Tuning BL's A series engine one first. More in it. 8)

Buy HTMYM if you ever get to the end of the big one...

Remember, they don't call it the bible for nothing :lol: Highly recommended - there ARE other good books about, but Vizard is the be-all and end-all ;)

Here are the K&N stubstacks I mentioned above.
I reckon they would work inside other SU filters too.

Link is to MiniSpares new (hush, hush!) site.. 8)
Enjoy!
