Quiet Down A Dual Carb Engine..It Works, Honda Goldwing 1200 Air Boxes....Sound Clips Options

As I stare at this I am seeing another possible modification for Phase 2 after I get the stock boxes installed....and i want to put my rain tray on at some point.



The stock Honda boxes with tops won't clear the rain tray....but the bottom housings with a custom flat top WILL allow a rain tray. My thought is make a top out of flat Lexan that holds down with a wing nut and seals the air filter...top of the KN Porsche filter lines up perfect and the velocity stacks clear.

Cut a 3.5" hole in the side of the housing base on the outside. Plumb a 3.5" "cold air" pipe down through the existing heater tube holes in the tin. If you have heat maybe to rear wheel well?



These modified housing would use air filters so there isn't a need to have a cone filter in the setup...just a place to pull in air.

If you're not running heat how about usin the existing heater tube holes to run the "cold air" intake pipe out in front of the engine, under the car (next to the air deflectors?) for a cold air/ram air type set up

Now that they are in. i see after an hour long drive the engine compartment is really not that hot. the boxes and the baseplates i made do not retain any heat whatsoever. i think the intake air is as cool as it can probably get without re-plumbing the car. for an LS1 yes but this engine not worth it.

this is by far the best mod i have done on the car; better than the bump steer kit!

I have been looking at options for this as well.....

1) I thought the CSP set up was perfect (not cheap). They have two on their site - one for a type 4 Beatle and one for a type 4 Bus. I contacted them and they said neither works for a 914

2) I like the Honda set up also - and much cheaper - but I can't seem to find what else I need to make them work - aka - the attachment plates?

Anyone else looked at this recently?

Thanks !

I used a set of 912 aircleaner housings on a carb'd 914-4 once. Worked nice, couldn't use the rain tray if I remember correctly.

The one for the bus fits perfect with the rain tray in place.

Ya nope. Ive installed the vers for the T4 on several cars & sold a dozen more.
They are my go to ... for carbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks very much..

Do you know which one you get? Some folks have said won't work because of the carb offset?

On any case, If you have done it I am sure it will work!
