#8Im rarely revving that high anyway, and I don't track my bike. A felt gain in power at the 3000-7000 range would be awesome.
As for price... hard to say, would have to see the final product. If its "just a couple of pipes" then you can only charge so much before someone rips off your product and puts something cheaper on the market.

#18I am not smart on physics but dont see how there's much room for changing the height of the stack, there must only be an inch max above the current oem stacks - in the MH or oem airbox?
can't go much higher before flow gets too compressed/turbulent against the roof of the box and prob. shouldn't be shorter?

ok rant over... another week and they might be ready.
Then to prove it all on the dyno.... dont worry guys i havent stalled on this. It is still happening... and will be a mod ftw!

#51I have got a jig machined up so that is good... another propper week for the first prototype to rune on the dyno!!! finally.
Here are some pics taken today (bear in mind this is the ugly prototype). The locating fins have not been welded in yet but do work on another prototype.


obviously it is going to sit much lower insede the stock stack but it gives you an idea of size


and a picture of the failures in methods and grades of material used

#53just under 2cm proud of the top of the standard stack and 2cm proud of the bottom of the stack... missing the axle for the secondary flies (yes you will remove the flies... or lose some of the ability and make it flush with the standard stack.
The clearances aloow for enough air to be sucked through the top too.

#56plus once i have proven evidence of the DVS' working on a dyno, i am considering going to a plastic injection moulder and telling them to make a copy of the prototype... that way i can pump heaps out
Post 57 by loony888,
#57yep the SAS has to go, and it's all moot anyway, they're just road bikes, if you want to talk weight how fukken heavy is the std muffler set? crikey! i nearly ruptured my blurter valve when i first lifted mine!
if you make an injection molded plastic version will you make them as a set of outers and inners? or would you still need the original stacks?
paul.
p.s, what's the measurement from the top of the velocity stack to the top of the filter element?

Post 60 by loony888,
#60Loony, i am unsure what you are trying to ask for... but my airbox has a 12mm clearance from the top of the DVS to the roof of the airbox which is all that is required (can cope with 6-8 mm to roof of air box before it will become detrimental). I will have to get somone with a motobox to drop by at some stage

#63Unfortunately, they are hard to make... bending steel to that level doesnt like to work, so it needs to be done in 6 pieces not 3.
So that process will go out the window, BUT if this works, I am looking into different methods of making them.
i could possibly get them made in billet for LOTS, cast (no idea how much) or injection moulded plastic for this i have no idea how much. Apparently getting the plastic moulds made are the expensive part.
when I post up the results on the dyno, i will let everyone decide on whether they would buy the modification... if enough of you do, injection moulding would be a possibility

#67Thought of 3d printer, only concern is that it is the plastic has a low melting temp and am not sure how fuel/oil stable the plastic is.
Aaron what sort of cost would it be to machine that stuff? As cnc work in Australia is very expensive... Well not very but I couldn't make them for 100 per pair
Post 68 by MrZ32,
#68Post 69 by bic_bicknell,
#69In my profession I do a lot of design concepts through to production mouldings. The cost of injection moulding tool for something like this all depends on the volumes you want to make. Multiple cavity tooling brings the unit price down but costs a lot more in the first place. Probably the volumes for this item would never justify more than a single cavity tool and the cost of this would depend on whether the component could be moulded with a simple cor/cavity tool or need side cores and moving parts.
Anyway, the way to go would certainly be to make a pilot tool made from aluminium rather than tool steel. This is a fraction of the cost and is always done to test a design before committing to bulk tooling. I have a lot of contacts in the UK for doing this - especially for low runs. I could easily get a quote for producing a quick prototype tool which is not designed for high speed manufacture - more to hand assemble and produce limited numbers to test. You can get several thousand units of these tools before they wear out. I'd need a drawing or CAD data to get an accurate assessment of the comlpexity of tool required. Do you have the component built in Pro-E or some other 3D package? IGES or STEP files would be fine.
Other thing is the material you want it moulded in - this makes a difference to the tool design and allowance for shrinkage etc. Otherwise the tolerances will be out. I imagine ABS or Nylon or something but the toolmaker/moulder would want to know the temperature etc. that the unit has to operate in. The company I know does loads of prototypes for auto manufacturers - even turbo fans and so they really know their stuff.
My opinion of rapid prototyping techniques for this is that I would not offer my bike for testing with a velocity stack made from SLA or SLS or the other mentioned printing techniques. The materials are not strong enough and all I can imagine is them collapsing on the dyno and being consumed into the engine!! You'd get some interesting readings on the printout at this point. You could maybe use the SLA to make a female mould and cast prototypes in a stronger material but I'd recommend the pilot tool option.
Let me know if you want any further advice or help.
Post 70 by MrZ32,
#70i will get the dyno testing done first obviously but yes I will send the '.sldprt' (i use solid works) if it works... i could also convert it to a .dxf
yeah, i had my concerns using any of the rapid prototyping plastics too (to the point where i was not going to make it that way).
hence why i had it made out of steel... strong and hardy. It is just that it is not ductile enough. I hadnt thought of machining a heat/oil resistant nylon though.... that would be cheaper.
Post 71 by MrZ32,
#71so the prototypes will be ready by end of sat... if you are going to do something... do it yourself.
I will also look into how much it will cost to have these machined up.... in both a seriously awesome plastic or aluminium... getting quotes now
Post 72 by MrZ32,
#72i was impressed with my brazing and am overall happy with this considering how many it has taken to get right.... it is good enough to work
on monday, they will be chucked in the bike for a bum dyno test then taken out again (so that back to back testing of these can be done on the actual dyno) in a couple of weeks.
here are some pics of the finished (prototype) product after a fair bit of filing and hand sanding... have sanded more since but you get the picture/s

Indy has a motobox so we can see how well they will fit in the most shallow airbox.

first impressions... as expected, partial throttle response was much better and rolling on much better but unfortunately just had a big downpour before i got out on the bike so i couldnt really get a chance to give it the beans. But i will let you know shortly
I will let you know shortly what i think about them.
Post 89 by Colonel_Klinck,
#89Post 90 by MrZ32,
#90i knew straight away what it was... throttle intakes are on an angle and i didnt account for that. I made a couple of very simple mods (shortened the bottom part of the DVS), took it for a run and all i can say is f*ck me...it is freeking stupid now. So much power... slightly more from 4g and once 5 hits it goes mental. And bogging down on full throttle at lower rpms has been eliminated.
all i can say is im very happy and am looking forward to seeing the results on the dyno shortly.
to give you an idea it was still wanting to lift the front in the air in fourth under power (no clutch)
BTW guys... who would be interested if had some custom aluminium oil catch cans made up designed to fit the sd? (was thinking of mounting the off the mounts left over after removing 2ndry throttle motor).

#101it will not be sold without extensive testing and dyno charts to prove it... and i am glad that there are cynics. That keeps it all honest.
as for lifting the front wheel... it is not coming way up but its lifting off the ground in 4th.
however it used to do this with guys map (dont use this as it is way too lean though)... this is a bike that with just an akra map (before the tuneECU days), the grimbox and the custom termi's was putting out 121whp (done at the team moto opening of the virginia triumph shop)
indy84 will be testing these too as he has my spare set that were made.
as for the map i am currently running it is a combo of rallsies and otto's.. whichever was the higher value of advance was used (was happy to use ottos as i always have used it without any issues).
the map used to run too rich for my bike until the dvs was put in place... it runs well now

So i rode over Mt. nebo down to samford, got more fuel and went back over Mt. nebo (closest mountain ride to me)
Definitely more power... i was rolling the power on through all the gears, up hills and trying to get a good feel of the tourque curve. I was doing standing starts on the straights to test acceleration... really strong power.
but there is a flat spot from about 7000 to 8500 rpm then it starts accelerating hard again till red line, that should be able to be tuned out of it e.g. more advance or more fuel.
Id like to increase the rev limiter.
Side notes - a very cool wistle on deceleration that wasent there b4, also more popping on decel (but not as much as b4 the motobox).
-there is more engine braking, there will be a theory behind it`(i was sliding into a corner at a 45 degree angle on engine braking)
- rsz_phone_071.jpg (203 KiB) Viewed 8158 times
So now is the time for the dyno, im also a fan of taking the bike to the drag strip to see the 1/4 mile time.
Post 120 by MrZ32,
#120The flat spot I haven't had but when we have a look at the air fuel ratio next weekend we can find out why its there. I will have a look at your map and see if there is a richening or leaning out at that rpm. Once proven on a dyno, wait and see what the new machined ones will be like with the correct lip design (not just close enough like at the moment)
Post 121 by MrZ32,
#121how does only 50grams sound for the pair as opposed to ~300g
and surprisingly cheap to have made (read a lot less expensive than machining, yet still get to achieve the correct lip design)... only need to have one initial piece machined for a molding. The fins would then need to be attached as a separate thing but easily done.
Indy and I are off to do dyno testing very shortly (within 2 weeks). When proven to work I will put an order through for the carbon fibre ones.... James

#130My mate said he is happy to attach the fins but said that he would just give me a few big offcuts to make the fins out of (to make it cheaper and faster)... use a special resin and done. So I cant quite do it at a total hands off role cheap enough (which is what i normally do... come up with the design and procure it out to someone else and annoy them like buggery until it happens)
if i do it in a more involved mannor (after tooling up... prob another 600 bucks ) i can get hold of them at a physical cost of about 60-90 bucks a pair (before i touch them)... its gonna be a real labour of love this one when/if I get a chance to make it happen. I guess it will come down to how many people will want them once the figures are proven (so they can do their own hp/$ analysis). Obviously the more made it will be cheaper.
will have to talk to indy84 to get hold of his machining shop now... the MK2 model will be free for you too if you can help out with the machining of the molds

#134this design is a shorter one and slightly smaller...
so both my designs will be tested when indy and i do the dyno day... then whichever one works will then be done with the lip design that I really want... made in carbon but will require to molds to be made for the one piece.

#145that really sucks to hear mate, hope you're ok.
What's the issue with QBE?
Post 146 by MrZ32,
#146They then got upset, blamed the the first company for not wanting to be 'reasonable' with the price(because they wanted to make sure that the frame was straight, test the forks/triples for defects and do the job properly as they know me), so they then sent the bike to team homo (without telling me) who were happy to do it for cheaper (i.e. cut corners).
To give you an idea, i hit the car so hard that the rim is well and truly out of shape and they are replacing it, however they wont replace the fairly new tyre... they want to put the old tyre that has discolored due to being pushed out of shape, the list goes on with what the assessor will not approve.
I have a good mind to put some of my contract engineers onto the assessor and prove to qbe and the ombudsman that he is either incompetent or negligent. I was being nice and letting them do their job, but i have my doubts with these guys.
They should have given me the bike and money, I would have gotten it done faster, cheaper and better with all the test certificate to prove that it is safe not a (its all good we back it, look we signed it, you're fine now). I dont care if you think its fine, I want you to be able to prove it.
However QBE will learn very quickly that they should not have tried to screw me around/over, oh and I am going to start spreading the word to those in the biking comunity of the facts of how QBE has dealt with me.
Post 147 by tripoddave,
#147Is Oz law so very different from ours? If you ask for things to be done, your insurance company refuses and you are killed as a result of a component failure the QBE board could be tried for corporate manslaughter and go to jail for up to 20years in the UK. Insurance companies are very risk averse here.

Post 160 by MrZ32,
#160I was reading in your earlier posts that there wasn't enough room in the Airbox for you to put in the correct length of stack that you wanted.
I was wondering what the optimal length of stack would be if the Air box wasn't an issue eg, a GoGo style box using the underside of the tank as the top of the box?

i will fit them either this weekend or tonight (unlikely though for tonight).
they are beautiful.. and I cannot wait to run all these different mods on the dyno after my exams.
on a totally off topic subject... for those who are mechanically minded check this out (note that even on the upwards stroke of the conrod the there is power being applied to the usually 'dead' stroke)
this has actually been made and put into a ducati.

#190or i could send you the DWG's to get some machined up over there (would prefer this one, will do them up as PDF's). The DVS' i dont think are what you want as i think they are more suited the street... what you want is as much HP as possible.
we could even experiment with shortening the intake (for the time being before i start seriously looking at variable length intakes). Do you know any fitter & turners near you that If given drawings could knock up? If the twist lock system is ditched it can all be done an a lathe (easy and cheap)
Guessing that you will be wanting one of the swingarm braces when im done?

#202My throttle body tops.

Looking at your photo's I am not sure if the new stacks will clear the left lower DNA air box bolt & air filter, what do you think, can you PM me the outer diameter so I can check to see if it will clear, I would hate to ride all the way to you & it won't fit? Also your air box is much better suited with better air flow around the stack with it being off set compared to the DNA air box.

#209But, I'm not sure why. I feel like I missed something. Lot's of interesting ideas, some nice pictures of pretty hardware - all good.
Did I just miss a page or something, where there are beautiful dyno plots showing improvements throughout the power band - ? Seems an awful lot of energy spent for bling and butt-dyno proclamations. There sure is a lot of cart in front of this horse ... As a fellow engineer (not civil), I tend to live and die by test results.
On the possibility I didn't overlook "the numbers" - as in, they don't exist - Is everyone (anyone?) game to PayPal this poor SOB a couple of bucks to get something - anything - dyno'd?

Post 214 by kevxtx,
#214The mods on my bike for the dyno run.
DNA MK3 air box.
Leovince pipes.
2nd flies & shafts removed.
EPC turned off.
O2 sensors turned off.
Custom PCV map with single cylinder tunning.
I did a final power run then fitted the metal stacks & as the results show the stacks made HP & Torque everywhere. I some places up to 5HP.
The Green run is my final power run after the custom mapping
The Red run is with the metal stacks fitted no map change, we should be able to pick up more HP & Torque below 6000 rpm as the stacks made the bike run around 12:1 below 6000rpm.
Well done James you have done well. I did have a glitch with the fibre stacks & was unable to test them, I have Emailed James the run files, at least James now has something to work from. Also there would be different results with different air boxes so it is still early days, lets hope there is more hidden HP & Torque in this mod. As mentioned to James if he needs Dyno testing I have no problems running my bike on the Dyno for testing any performance mod.

#218Just out of curiousity, what would the effect be of a triple velocity stack?
Post 219 by MrZ32,
#219once you have moved the column in the DNA airbox, you will have to try my cnc'd stacks... i keep adding fuel higher up and it just keeps pulling harder... i think for overall hp the CNC'd ones will be the best and if you want the mid range you could combine the two. im guessing an overall improvement of 7-8% (possibly more) is possible rather than just 5%. I am getting to the point where the theory is proven but the margins of error in design now need to changed step by step for proven performance (i do not have the capability with the flow software yet to get much better and am running based of certain assumptions which may not be entirely correct).
Like the point that i was not expecting that much extra top end... I was expecting maybe one HP more (something not really measurable as all sorts of factors could throw it out by that much... but 3-5hp more is a measurable difference... i have had a huge smil on my face all day knowing that this is now proven rather than just the butt dyno

#231It looks like your stacks are longer and narrower - which should have resulted in peak torque being pushed down the rev range.
Yet you seem to have lost volumetric efficiency below 6k, by the fact that the mixture has gone rich, yet you haven't lost any power, if anything you have gained at these revs !?
The switch at 6k is interesting - just shows if someone could engineer some variable height stacks and use the secondary flies map / motor to control them we could be on for some useful gains at all revs.
Post 232 by MrZ32,
#232We know the metal stacks works well with the MK3 DNA air box & would like to see what the gains & losses are with a standard & Moto air box, there are a few other things going on with these tacks & the MK3 air box that might be helping get he numbers up, James & I have discussed the points, testing the stacks with the Moto box will answer a few of the unkowns.
I agree with James there is still plenty of testing to be done.

#253i sketched up some drawings and had some gasket made up to modify the motobox.
well i dropped by indy's place today on the way home from worked, tried the first spacer... heaps of room.
lets try the thicker spacer... still works... turns out we just got a significant increase from roof of the airbox and the top of the stacks, giving that extra clearance required.
i will test the same thing on my 08 tanked model before i get ahead of myself.
but here is a pic of what i had water cut. If enough people with motobox's are interested, they would not cost that much to make either.

Post 259 by Linga,
#259So what do we know now, these stacks do work, they have been tested on 3 different bikes, with 3 different air boxes on 2 different dynos, all three bikes show similar gains, we now know the stacks need a high air box lid to perform well, the Motor air box needs spacing with the stacks the DNA MK3 does not.
The Future, James is working with the Moto air box & the stacks, I am working with the DNA air box's & stacks, to try & get more out of these stacks & different air boxes.
As mentioned before James has done well with his stack mod & now it has been a proven mod that works with the 3 X 990's been dyno tested.
Post 260 by Linga,
#260It was very hot but still got 121.9hp with normal and 124.9hp with them in.
Interesting as the previous Dynojet Dyno had 131hp, apparently this one is able to give a constant load and measures everything a little lower.(and truer)
Thought it would be nice to hear from someone on the otherside of Oz, these are the prototype ones of MrZ32's design.
I'm running:
Motobox no shafts
full Akra EVO
PCIII no O2
Was hoping for more but bikes being bikes, it is never predictable from bike to bike with any mod, mine may just well be a little restricted further down.
Have yet to put the spacer on the Motobox to see the difference but 3hp is promising for just a plain stack, can't wait to see the results of the rest!

Post 294 by Colonel_Klinck,
#294Post 295 by MrZ32,
#295replied, with an estimate cost however i would recommend waiting on a little bit more testing from my end first. There are 3 guys in brisbane and 1 in perth who are currently testing these items in extreme heat for performance and durability. At this point in time it would be hard to get anything done before early next year.. which will allow for further development until then.
Thankyou for your interest.

#319you have seen what the intakes can do... i need to get an idea of how many people are seriously interested in buying a pair of these... there is a small amount of testing that i would like to do (small improved modifications as well as better option than a spacer), however it is getting to a point where I am negotiating a price with the carbon fiber guys and another company which will remain un named until after further dyno testing.
so please give me an idea ... add a list to together of who would like a pair (more people, the cheaper it can be... it also means that they can be of a slightly more complex but better design with the possibility of both a DVS and VS replacement). This is not asking for a deposit... just people who are pretty certain that they would want a pair
Post 320 by MrZ32,
#320Maybe you should start a new dedicated thread for potential buyers?

Post 351 by Colonel_Klinck,
#351Post 352 by RRR,
#352Post 353 by JohnJJr,
#353just a quick thought , the very first motoboxes were physically wider than the later/current motobox . the box was initially designed around an 05/06 SD which had the smaller capacity tank and a little bit more space underneath it . when the 07 onwards with the larger tank was released the original motobox was a pretty neat fit .
to the best of my knowledge there were very few early boxes out there before Aaron modified his design to fit all models of SD . dunno how much difference this will make to whatever James has come up with to raise the top and give clearance for the dual velocity stacks . just thought it was worth a mention .
that said i am interested in a set from the first batch if poss please . i have a motobox so would need whatever spacer/adapter is reqd . i will also be taking out the secondary flies .
i would like a ballpark idea of cost if poss shipped to the UK .

#355if memory serves Aaron made three motoboxes as a trial run to see what interest there was . Joe got one as did someone else in the states , i forget who . i got the other one . a credit to Aaron for sorting stuff as quick as he did . if you did get your motobox in late 09 you should be safe size wise . i suspect there is a pretty low number of original motoboxes out there .

#427Almost be the same? How much better are the 3D printed ones and would they be available if someone was willing to pay the extra cost?[/quote]
A 3D printed complete DVS set would take around 3 hours to make & would cost around Australian $400 per set at my cost my price for one offs, the 3D stacks will be made 100% to the designed spec. To get 2 sets printed & to Dyno test them on two different bikes would cost over $1000 for the 2 sets & Dyno time & that is just to see if they will work.
I don't think you guys realise how much money has been poured in behind the scenes by James & others to make the many proto types + Dyno test them, & the work is still going on to find more HP & Torque. Not only has James been woorking on the DVS but there is a nice surprise for the MH owners to come.

#455For all which want a quick, easy and cheap solution, use the shorter RC8 stacks, they work pretty well without the secondary throttle plate
and offer about 3-4 HP starting at around 6000 RPM including torgue gains . No gains under 6000 like with the DVS but they do cost
only 2.5 Euros each and thats what i would call best bang for the buck. With secondary plates you will loose power, so only do this mod
if you have removed them .

#468and we had already endless discussions in the German forum about his conclusions.
If you remove the secondary throttle butterfly you will gain no matter if you use a Remus, Arka header or standard, if
add the RC8 stacks you will gain more. It is as simple as that.
Of course combining a proper airbox with a different exhaust header, butterflies removed, RC8 stacks and a proper
custom mapping will be the best solution. Thats what Highscores dynocharts show, because he wants to sell the
complete package, but that is nothing new ...
New is only that the RC8 stacks can work and we can only thank the guys who spend endless hours on the dyno to actually
proove the modifcations. Thanks to the internet this can be shared and hopefully not everybody wants to max
out his bank account. Highscores airbox is basically based on a desing posted in this forum as well as the DNA Airbox.
So when you go for dyno time take the stacks with you, test them out and if you are not happy you lost 5 Euros.
Post 469 by bic_bicknell,
#469I will do back to back dyno runs to see the gains & losses between a standard SD & RC8 stack. I will also T up with James to get his inner stack fitted to measure the gains from a Dual stack using the RC8 stacks.
Post 470 by MrZ32,
#470Cheers
Post 471 by Colonel_Klinck,
#471

The blue base run is from a SD with open air box, race can, Remus-header and dialed in fuel injection with 2nd plates installed. The green graph shows the benefit by removing solely the plates at this bike. The red graph shows the improvement by installing RC8-stacks onto the the throttle body.
This mod shortens the intake tract by 20mm. So not only peak torque shifts from 6700 to 7200, but the whole pattern of torque is shifted to the right, to higher rpm. This is not unexpected, when shortening the intake. But what seems curious, is that huge gain, the short RC8-stacks produce, at the very bottom of the engine range around 3000 rpm.
The explanation: Obviously with the short stacks the engine harmonics changed to a higher order, probably from the third to the fourth.This wave has not the energy of a 3rd-order-harmonic, but the advantage to arive more often within the engine range and works now even around 3000-3500.
In the range between 3500 and peak torque at 7200 with short stacks advantages and disadvantages of high-order- and low-order-harmonic are balanced pretty nicely, so there are no substantial gains and losses, just a clear visible different graph pattern.
This dyno runs have been made on the same day, same bike, same dyno and operator. So removing that 2nd plates and installing RC8-stacks should by good to release +6HP. That mod works independently, which exhaust system is installed. I have checked another SD with stock headers, the effect was pretty the same
But it is also evident, that this mod shows its best performance in the higher rpm range. Therefore its is also no surprise, that an exhaust header, tuned especially for this range, shows an even better gain, when combined with hat new harmonics by the RC8-stacks.
The Remus-header is an example for such a lay out. So it is no wonder but a matter of physics, that this header performs so nicely with that new intake trumpet ( And it has nothing to do with the fact, that I have designed this Remus-pipe, indeed it is a great luck that things match so nicely).

#475I know several companies in the UK that specialise in rapid prototype tooling which I've done business with over the years. Mostly it's to product low runs of sample packaging, caps bottles, dispense mechanisms etc. The reason they are cost effective is that they often have limited cooling capacity, are designed for hand operation rather than high speed automation and will wear out quickly. They are really slow and inefficient to mould huge volumes of samples but are ideal for making hundreds, (rather than thousands or millions).
If anyone our there has a CAD model of one of these velocity stacks that require moulding I would be happy to get a few quotes for a low run, single cavity tool. Most of these companies will take a look at the component design and suggest a few ways to design the tool. Different ways will have different cost implications and advantages. Where they choose to inject the material will have an effect on component strength.
The guys I have worked with are very good. Omega does BMW prototype moulding for their engine components, last time I was up there they had a new water pump they were building for them. They can inject with any number of polymers and materials, super high heat resistant stuff, nylon, ABS, all sorts.
And check out this little video of a hand assembled tool from Omega:-

#515The SD-R uses the same velocity stack as the "common" SDs displacing the the 48mm TB, because the larger type is just a "big bore" version of the same TB mold.
I checked the price for the RC8-trumpet, it was - like in our days - close to nothing, so I decided to order 10 pcs for further testing with the SD. I received 9 units - and this was the whole stock of the KTM-factory during this early period of RC8-production.
Looks like now as a bad guy has bought all the factory stock too.
Of course I have tested that short RC8-stack at several Sds and SD-Rs. In each case that 20mm shorter stacks dis not work: peak power at the top remained unchanged, but there was a lack in torque over the lower part of the range: no advantage using this stacks. So this stacks rested since 2008 in an edge of my workshop - until this January.
During this early testings the 2nd. butterfly kept in place, just the stacks have been changed. But this year I made the testings without the butterfly and suddenly - wow. The effect was really unexpected for me. And this was not a single-shot-wonder, I have installed until now that RC8 stacks to 3 SD-bikes and in each case this mod - 2nd flies out & RC8-stacks on - was good for a power increase of 6-7 HP. So I am telling here no fake stories, it really looks like as this mod could be a worthwhile one.
Well, it is not my intention to hijack this thread with my own stories, so I prefer to start a new one. Just two things:
(1) That three promising testings all have been performed with a "common" SD with 48mm-TB. The question is, what will happen at a 2008-SD-R with larger valves, larger intake duct, lager 52mm-TB and different cam timing? This question needs further investigation.
(2) Retarding air box design: The rule of thumb is that the distance of an intake trumpet to a wall upside should be at least trumpet diameter. But this rule is only valid for the "common" situation, where the bell diameter is the same as the diameter of the intake tract. In the case of the SD-engine things are different. Here the bore-diameter of the intake duct is 48mm up to primary throttle, controlled by the throttle grip. From that diameter upward the bore of the intake tract enlarges continuously up to some + 60mm at the end of the trumpet bell mouth.
Well I am the creator of this:

My cheap and simple air box lacks that rule of thumb by far.. So it was essential for me before starting production of this box to check its performance. What could be a better reference for such a test as testing the box against intake trumpets within the pure air, real "atmosphere" with nothing over them (fuel tank lifted)? The cover of this air box has just a (good) finger distance to the trumpets. But nevertheless it did not suffer and made the same performance as "nothing on" at the bells:

By at 2012-02-11
This is the last test regarding this problem I have performed this January. I hope you agree with me that the difference is neglectable since the price for filtered air is unavoidably around 15mm water and 15mbar restriction cause therefore something like a loss a loss of 1-1,5% in performance compared to real free breathing intakes.
Hey, It is not intention to hijack this thread. More information will come at a new place. But give me some time.

#526I'd rather have Mr.Z32's dual velocity stacks when they are ready to manufacture, (because the effort that has gone into them and because they appeal to me more and I think they will show a better power gain), but in the short term the SDR stacks sound like something to play with. At such a small price they must be worth a try. For me though the big issue is that I would want to remove the secondaries and shafts at the same time, (currently running the MH modified flies), and then I feel that I would want to get another custom map done. Still running the PC3 so this means a £150 dyno run). But I will do it this spring I think.
Unless the dual stacks are imminent.

#542It might be to do with the Motobox being a bit thicker than the standard airbox base but the old stacks fitted fine.
Not been out for a run yet - just started raining. HM Racing said that they wouldn't effect my fueling map so I'm just going to see what the difference feels like to ride with - if I can notice anything different.

#5632nd flies removed in RED same fuel map as BLUE run BLUE = Akra map loaded, Akra map was tweaked with Tune ECU using Dynojets Wideband commander 1 before Dyno testing.

By fitting the RC8 stacks only the A/F ratio ran leaner.
RC8 Stack in RED same fuel map as BLUE run Blue run Akra map loaded + custom PCV map, the only thing changed was the standard stacks were removed & RC8 stacks fitted.

Post 564 by bic_bicknell,
#564Just a thought though - if you fitted the RC8 stacks AND removed the secondary flies I wonder if the AF mix would be about right, ie cancel each other out? I have/ had a perfect map for the last few years but fitted the RC8 stacks just to see if I could tell a difference, (so I'm probably running a bit lean). I haven't taken out the secondaries because I believed it would really need remapping to be safe. But this makes me wonder if I'd be better off taking them out anyway - even if I don't get round to a remap for a few months.

could you post the power/torque output of those runs as well? I'd like to see what difference it makes dispite the A/F being a little off and how much this A/F being off influence the output in the end.

#689But tinkering with things and keeping up with the latest mods is something I'll always be interested in - especially if it's supporting enthusiastic forum members in what they do. I just want something to do with it when it's raining and something to occasionally get me away from work/kids/DIY.
I can't believe it's been over a year since I did anything remotely interesting with my bike to make it different or work better or look better or anything. I think I've done everything you can do now. I've got a spare subframe and engine mounting brackets that I'll get powder coated black soon and fit them. I got my eye on ordering a full-size carbon bellypan from Replicast one day but at £400+ it's very expensive, there hasn't been any second hand ones ever come up in the last six years. Ditto for carbon wheels, there was one set a few years ago but I couldn't justify the price at the time. (I bought my full-Ti system from the same guy instead).
I might be reduced to just taking the whole thing apart, cleaning it and putting it all back together again!!!

However for those who want the modified lipped rc8 stacks let me know. As the gains have been proven I'm happy to sell them... will just need to work out a price for if you want lipped sd stacks.
Will also do a deal for the guys who get these for the dvs when I'm happy to release them. I'm just not happy to release them just yet as I don't want to sell a product that I'm not entirely happy with

Post 729 by Jermo,
#729-Bike runs a lot smoother. Low revs are much easier to manage and even when the bike gets to 2K RPM it buzzes rather than bucks like it used to at 2.5K. The on/off low end throttle responds seems to be gone as well.
-Top end improved quite a bit. Somewhere around 7 to 8K the bike really keeps pulling hard where it would start to run out of steam.
-Believe it or not the sound is pretty different. The exhaust sounds the same of course but the intake doesn't sound as deep. Sounds more like a stream-lined pro super-bike than an angry street-fighter. I prefer the stock noise honestly but its not bad.
I don't really know how the power was effected. Like I said it feels like a big bump in top end but my pants dyno can't really tell a major difference as far as every day riding goes. The biggest improvement was the added smoothness, whether that gave the illusion of less torque or not I can't confirm. Over-all I'm pretty happy with the RC8 stacks and can't wait for the DVS/modded RC8 stacks.

#740The older DVS versions worked the best & have proof from other independent Dyno tests on 2 other 990's, the latest DVS version seems to shroud the lower stack to much, in theory they looked great in Dyno practice they did not work on my bike, I know James sent a pair of the latest DVS to the UK for testing & they showed the simular results to my Dyno testing, the original DVS are just to hard to make & would cost a fare bit for mass production I would think, mine took me many hours to make.
That is life not every mod works out as planed, back to the drawing board.

I had some good results and some average ones trying out his gear.
