Mock Box Intake

[Digifox]

Before you even read this im being SERIOUS and i want Input not just smart ass comments

Okay so i know all the newer bikes have a Ram air Intake with a big arse Box...
And my Bike HAD a pressurized Box, But it sucked to i ripped it out
And i do NOT want to put pods on it, so At the moment im running OPEN carbs with nothing but the Rubber things for the airbox(They are the only thing for an EX250 that even Resembles Vorticity stacks, And they go make it run better)

And im quite happy with the performance, But i have Two Problems:

1.being No filter
2. the CVK is supposedly effected by slightest breeze


So what i was thinking is maybe make a Small Box like Only instead of the runners just holes That my Intake booties will fit in so i still get the funneled airflow(runs like SHIT without them) and then run a hose up around the Rad. with a Filter on it, so its like a Cold air intake

Idea From This

Pay NO attention to the Supercharger on the Two stroke

Or Maybe just a box with the filter stuck out the side?


Input Please
Will this actually Work Or will it just be a waste of time and make the bike run like shit?

Cos' the way it sits i can go from 2k putting to 12k without a single problem
Tried it with out the intake boots, Stumbles and doesn't want to go....
Since the Intake boots are Tapered and have a Wide mouth

I think that you still need to at least make the box to hold some kind of foam pre-filter or something to keep debris and bugs out of your motor. Of course, you could just modify the stock air box with a couple holes in the top. Start small and make them larger/more numerous until you get the effect you're after. Heck, there may already be a mod for this on the net. Do a search and see what you get.

I understand the hassle of dealing with a stock airbox, but
Why not use individual filters or a single with 2 flanges? ie K&N?

the K&N filters REQUIRE rejetting on a CVK carb and you still dont get optimal power, so you're LOSING no matter how you look at it.

same issue if you tried a cold air intake, it'd pressurize the air comin in to a degree, which will make it run like shit.

go back to your stck airbox. yeah, its a pain in the ass to work on the bike with it, I know, but its the best for optimal power and reliability.

this is the answer here.

if you are trying to do some kind of ram air you push more air through the carb but you have to also pressurize the float bowl too.

pods and CV's don't really mix well either, lots of work won't even help.
