POWER!!! Or at least a little more 🙂
It's common for performance engines to have ram pipes to accelerate the air going through the throttle bodies or carburetors. Faster air = more air going into the engine = more power:
And to protect the engine from dust, the ram pipes can be mounted inside the air filter:
So, of course I'd like to have ram pipes for my classic car's carburetor inside the air filter:
Unfortunately they don't exist for my Weber 28/36 DCD carburetor 😞
So I modelled one! 😄
I'm looking forward to printing this, just need to find the right material to resist the temperature and make sure that the base is smooth to have a good air seal.
UPDATE 23rd October
@SR and @BF very kindly helped me print the model, here's some pics:
Straight out of the printer:
After brushing the nylon powder off the part:
The pipes sitting on my half rebuilt carburettor, everything lines up nicely!!
Next step is to finish the carburettor restoration and test it in the car :-)
