New bits for hachi

[Ian.G]

I am hoping to do the silverstone day.

I still need some spare 15x7 or 15x8 wheels for the back but I will try and be driving (I need all the practice I can get LOL)

The way the trumpets are mounted on my ITBS at the moment is a bit of a bodge.



Its hard to see on that photo and I promise I will try and get a better one for you. basically there is a single steel plate that is bolted onto the ITBS (obviously with holes for each of the inlets). The plate then has a tube for each inlet welded onto it (not especially accurate) with the K&N filter on the end.

I took the filters off the other day and was quite shocked with what I found. Basically there is a trumpet inside each of the tubes that is just held in place with some form of silicone seal (sikaflex high temp I guess). One of them is actually loose and you can here it shaking arround at between 2000-3000rpm until the velocity in the trumpet becomes enough to hold it in place. I was convinced I had serious det or a bad injector or something - I need to sort these ASAP.
