Silvertop velocity stacks - trumpets?
I have 20v silvertop, the standard trumpets/airbox doesn't fit under the bonnet. Does anyone know where to get some short aftermarket ones, pref in Europe/ uk. I run a standalone, so dont use the AFM.
Cheers

Ivan

Cheers for that, just need to check sizes and make sure they will fit under the air filter.

Thanks

Note that the length of the velocity stacks has an important influence on the engine characteristics.

Also be aware of the proximity of the brake booster. This will limit your available length, and LHD's don't have this restriction.

Thanks Nomuken,

I haven't seen that site before.

Does anyone have any experience with using different stack lengths? I was running without any Blush Just a pipercross filter. The shorter the better for me to fit under the filter. Also bottom end power would be good.

Thanks

If you are using the pipercross airbox, they say you can use trumpets with a maximum length of 45mm. But you def. should use some trumpets, they will improve the airflow drastically

If your engine characteristics are such that there is more available bottom end than you're currently getting, then generally, a longer trumpet will move the biase this way. Ideally make an adjustable length intake (ie. 2 snug but sliding bits of piping with lengths marked on them) and put it on a dyno.

i had them on my last Ae86 20V blacktop, and the last trumpet was slighty shaven/cut so that it did not clash with the braker Booster.
