I got my Lectron on tonight![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I used the stock thumb throttle, serriously ground out.
I ended up making a 2/1 manifold myself. It has room to be improved upon at a later date.
The stock tank fits, with a little heat applied.

Now I see I have PLENTY of room where the old air box/velocity tubes were to mount a N2O bottle.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]....Nah not yet.


I had to do some other work today so I will give a ride report tommorrow.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

BTW its a 44mm set up for methanol w/an adjustable power jet from Joe at Precision Porting.

 

GOOD TO HEAR IT! Make sure and give us a report a.s.a.p.! And I mean it!

Also, remember this saying, "N2O is the way to go!"

 

By the way, how did you end up making the 2/1 manifold? I would love to see some pics!

 

Sweet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Let's see some pics

 

Good deal ward! Sounds like you may need to go twist?

 

I'm glad you got the 2:1 manifold figured out. Good luck should be easier to tune maybe you can actally Idle now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I would love to see pics too. I love to see guys build their own stuff that nobody else has done yet! Kudos to you dude!!!!!!!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Good to here Ward, I will be waiting for you at LA Dunes in October. LOL.

But it is good to here from you and that the intake system works. Let see some pictures soon.

 

I have boat loads of pictures, start to finish, but they haven't been developed yet. They will be soon though.

The manifold is made out of four different things. Bolted right up to the head I have a peice of 3/32 plate with holes cut in it the same size/shape as my ports, and a gasket to match. Then welded to that are two peices of different diameter sch40 rolled pipe (note#1). These two peices were cut at an angle, welded together, and heated and bent to match up as close as possible to the ports. They go straight into the ports (note #2). This puts the angle, comming off of the head, at about a 45-50ish degree range. In the end, where these have already been welded together to make on hole, I added a short peice of muffler pipe approx. the same size as the carb. This peice was welded in level so the carb would sit level (note#3). I cut that peice off with about 3/4 of an inch sticking out. For a carb boot the best thing I could find was a peice of radiator hose (note#4).
All in all it turned out ok. I made plenty of notes on what to change on the next one.

#1: Do NOT use rolled pipe if you plan on trying something like this. The weld down the center, where they joined the roll together, is a PAIN to grind out of the inside!
#2: If you could shorten this peice more you wouldn't have as much work to do bending the tank. The closer you can keep the carb to the tank, on the same angle as the head, the better off you would be as far as room goes.
#3: LOTS & LOTS of grinding had to be done here to get everything smooth.
#4: I'm not sure if the hose is going to hold up to methanol or not. I might be looking for something different soon.

I also angled it just a little towards the left hand side to get the carb away from the head pipe.


I WILL be getting a twisty soon!!!

Thanks for the contact info Ernie!
And thanks to sixsixT for all the help you gave me!

For your piece of hose you could use gas tank filler neck hose.
