Man I am soooooo sorry I haven’t replied I have been super buried and I never checked this thread for follow up. I just used a little bit of the K&N oil and it slid over the flair I had to spin it a bit like a screw to start it. Kind of like putting a bicycle tire on a rim. I am hoping you have gotten it by now....again I’m sorry. Hopefully you have noticed the gains and no check engine light at all!

 

I just installed a K&N 1130 filter it slipped right over the intake hose and the filter is held on by the lip of the now internal hose. Cut the airbox and closed up the side with the breather tube keeping it filtered going to the case.

 

Trying this right now but having trouble getting the "horn style" flange to fit in the ru-1130. did you trim any of the flange off so you could fit it in? There's not enough room at the top of the airbox where it's near the flange for me too push it into the filter. perhaps I'm missing something. Thanks for any advice.

 

Would love to know for sure as baseline for before and after mods. Would like to see what stock ECU is capable of.

 

AFR on a stock emissions controlled bike will swing around 14.7:1 at cruise (steady throttle and load), at wide open throttle it might be allowed to go to 13:1 but I doubt they go much richer than that. At least in the USA where the EPA/DOT says that's the way it is going to be.

 

Anyone ever get AFR readings on stock bike using wideband sensor?

 

Think I'm going to go this route with the intake pipe. I'll do the two for $8.90, give one to a co-worker. Gotta get something to put over it since I ride in the rain a lot. I guess a tuner is in order when doing exhaust and intake.

 

So much better

 

Last question before I do this mod. If I do this intake and ride when it's misty or drizzling do I risk pulling water into my FI system? Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm pretty new to this.

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong. my understanding is that the main difference between this approach and something like a chimera kit, from an installation perspective is:
The chimera kit appear to have a place to plug in the crank case breather.

Could I drill a hole in the existing tube we plan to use for the new cone filter and seal a nipple to it in order to accomplish the same objective?

Yes, this would work fine. I bought the MNNTHBX Mtake and all I did was tuck the breather tube for the crankcase up under the gas tank and zip tied it up just enough to hold it in place but not pinch it off.

Thank you,
I think I'm going to out a little 10mm breather on it and zip tie up to the frame like you did.

 

What all is gained from the intake mod on a stock Z?

 

I drilled and taped my stock exhaust just to see if it worked and it did it just makes the bung hole fairly thin the tap I used was a gearwrench 730d I'm going to do this to my pro circit pipe once I get a vice it was supper easy to drill and tap the stock you can just stand on it.

 

Is a fuel controller necessary?

 

I want to get alittle more power out of my z n i wanna do a intake but i also think they are way over priced how hard is it to flip the intake pipe around? im new to these bike well bikes in general n i really wanna do this?

 

I bought a piece of 16mm (14mm inside) carbon fiber and cut it to 11.5 inches and glued the rubber grommets from my air box into it. Cost about $12

 

Where did you place the breather hose? After modding the old hose and putting the filter on

 

What filter are you using for the crank case?

And what are you using to brace the sides since the air box is not there to brace?

A couple of companys sell a brace but it is two expensive for a brace in my opinion...

 

If you do an Exhaust and Intake mod do you need a fuel controller? Will the motor blow up or get damaged in anyway?
That is what's holding me back from doing the intake mod.

 

Double post don't kill me. I don't want to pull the trigger too quickly (and bike isnt within my reach to check) I like the look of the UNI filter a lot, as well as it keeping out dirt more efficiently.
However I see that the the uni's posted were 50MM where as the K&N both have a smaller I.D. of 35MM

I'm lost af help lol.

 

Im assuming you used zipties to hold it up?

 

And this worked with the stock hose coming off the throttle body? Not the dayco hose?

 

Worked awesome for me thanks for the idea I used the K&N RC-1060 got it on amazon for $20 bucks. Such an easy install. And saved $100 bucks

 

K&N RU-1130 fits perfect.

 

The KN air filter that I purchased was for an old Hondas from the 70 that bolt right to the carburetor but it was small enough if you want to that you could put the air box lid right back on and it was pretty quiet but I like the noise and took the lid back off

 

Do you have a link to the filter teamgreen?

 

oh ok
thought you sealed it back up


I almost want to try to rig up my stock box but use the intake I have so it will flow the same but muffle the noise
its way to loud thats all I hear even with the aftermarket exhaust

 

Yeah it is quite a. Bit louder for sure.

 

so you kept the same intake hole on the other end of the air box
the tiny one
or did you enlarge it

 

I ripped off the whole air box and just left the hose from the throttle body. Placed a cone filter on the end of it.
