airbox mod

[rossi46]

I spotted this Coppa Italia on a recent trip to San Marino, the owner didn't speak much english,nor me Italian!,it had 130,000km on her and the only issue he had was g/box spring. He lived further south nr Rome and did say that he removed the 'snorkle' in the winter, anyone got any ideas to its function?

Heh! 'Winter' in Rome- what, say, a chilly 15 degrees C? Brrrr!

Do those snorks link into the airbox?

[rossi46]

yes they do, I might have another shot on my camera-I thought that winter in Rome!

Hm. Not exactly the greatest ram air induction...

 

I simply have removed the top of the air box and replaced it with a ring to hold the filter snug. That's how you open up an airbox..

 

This guy's idea will get the air box some cooler air but I can't really see that way being that effective..

"Porting" and polishing the inlets made a surprising difference on my Sport. Plus, is was fun and involved beer . . .

Aye, me n the missus went a couple of years ago in February to escape the winter- best long weekend ever! Wandering around a stunningly beautiful city, scoffing tasty snax and enjoying being those foreigners that wear t-shirts when all the locals have their furry warms on. Haa!

 Maybe this will help and apply as while I was doing my searches I found something on replacing the factory inlet pipes with PVC pluming pipe for better flow. I mention this Docc as you probably know exactly what I am talking about? But yes I know then you did not have a good reason to have a Beer lol.

Yeah, there have been myriad approaches to modifying the air intake to the stock spine frame airbox. The work done (with the V10) by PhilA is mighty compelling (and inspired me):

Once engaged in opening and polishing the intakes, it surprised me how restricted and uneven they were (are).
