Built an air scoop

[gy6luver]

Lol jeff

I think i should now huh, might get better use out of the mod LOL

but aside from that should i cut it away?

It looks like the scoop is large enough that you could cut it at an angle to make it face the right direction. That might be easier than separating it and spinning it around to re-glue it, of course the scoop won't be nearly as large though.

Ooops! Those scoops look wild, but I'm pretty sure that there's increased drag going on there.

there is NO seprating it, i would have to starto ver with a brand new fan cover and scoop mod, that seal all bonded it for good, the two pieces are FUSED together as one plastic now,

The scoop cannot be cut, if i do that there will be no backing for the air to funnel through, but hey i was thinking if this thing sucks air like it does it shouldnt matter which way it is turned right (or wrong lol)

Only options is throwing the whole mess out and redoing it, or cutting the scoop away

or leave it and say its a nitro relief valve for the superjet installed LOOLLLLL

There's no need to toss it out. I see two easy options. Cut it like the pic below to make a small scoop or cut it straight across to separate the scoop from the original shroud. If you cut it off straight, there's no reason it couldn't be glued back in the proper orientation if you wanted to.



All you'd really need for either would be a hacksaw to cut and a little sandpaper to smooth the cut edges.

[gy6luver]

OHHHHH! you mean cut it ABOVE the place where it is already glued, lol and then glue it again, i didnt think of that duh, that might work tooo

[gy6luver]

Happy ending, now i need to dig that squirrel i sucked up out of the thing

:disco: :lmao:

I hope you don't forget it's there and bust it off with your leg. lol

You better put some 1/4 x 1/4 wire mesh inside there to catch the road trash, mice and small squirrels. LOL





If you need any parts for that scooter hit me up. I have some used plastics etc...

[90GTVert]

:thumb: Get that wire on there. Save the squirrels! :laugh:

[bigjeff]

that is awesome - it says "I am scooter - hear me roar".

It looks to me like the shrouds are missing on the cylinder. The air scoop will do nothing without those.

if your taking about the plastics yeah they were gone when i got the thing

I guess i could replace them, but like i said im trying to sell this scoot, so im just trying to get it back to snuff, youm entioned you had plastics, like body panels?

[Fox]

Tell me what pieces you need and I'll see if I have 'em.

That engine will burn up without the shrouds on there. $15 + shipping at PFS. You need part #1 and #3 on this page:

Thats another good reason to have it screwed on and not glued on. If I ever get a temp gauge I can always take the scoop off and see if theres a big difference or not. I'll go take pictures right now!

EDIT: pics!






The first picture also gives a good shot of my new exhaust bracket.
The 3rd pic shows off the GT5 seat that I had to custom shape the foam on so that it would fit into the regular Triton R4 plastic seat frame.

What screws did u use to mount urs looks great need to know how u attached it so my can look good have u noticed any differance since u installed it?
