Redneck MK. II Project
 

Okay, I made a redneck intake from PVC pipe and installed it on my 30mm pumper. I wasn't really happy with PVC as a material as the pipe wall thickness eats away at space better used for airflow. Secondly, the size of the flexible couplings was bigger than I really needed (just need airtight not pressure sealed to 3 zillion psi of water pressure). So, I realize I'm probably late to the game as far as sourcing materials, but I found a company that will custom cut metals and plastics (pipe, tube, sheet) for what I consider reasonable prices and ordered some aluminum tubes to try out.

Tube A: 2" OD x 0.035" wall x 1.93" ID 6061-T6 aluminum 6" cut

Tube B: 1.875" OD x 0.058" wall x 1.759 ID 6061-T6 aluminum 6" cut

Price: about $30 with shipping.
I'll throw the link up if anyone is interested and they have an affiliate plan if Buggymaster has any interest in that.

Oh, and i got the tubes in two days.

I was going to suggest using thin aluminum or steel tubing off ebay, and a couple silicone couplers. Thats the way I'm heading with mine. Trying to decide whether to add the crankcase vent to the intake tube or vent it through a separate filter.

Oh! silicon couplers! I didn't even think of those.. I got the tubes from onlinemetals.com. I reduced the pilot jet to a #35 and the main to a #138 and she's running nice. Although I have a 59mm BBK and 4 valve head on the way, so a re-jet is in the future..

Finished...Until the new jug and racing 4 valve head get here..and while i have the case apart, might as well throw in a Dr. Pulley full CVT upgrade.. I CAN STOP ANYTIME I WANT, I SWEAR!!!!! Oh, and Sycarms has me pondering these naughty suspension upgrades...

Looks nice. I like the outer wear. Have been debating about getting one.
It would save me bringing an exta filter on riding trips.

Thanks to Mastertoyota for the heads up on silicone couplers for the intake..much better. Mishimoto silicone couplers if anyones interested..
