If I had shown the fan fitted in the air duct tube you would not have been able to see it I am sure you can work the rest out

aha, so it goes into the end of the tube and pushes cold air in the general direction of the air filters ?

Hi Gents,

very interesting, I to have looking at ways of getting cool air to the air filters/intakes on my carbs.

I guess you use the fan at low speeds to induct cool air But does this not cause any problems with ram air effect? or air swirling around the filters causing fluctuations in the mixture?

To prevent the effect of ram air action on my twin carb set up using K&N filters I have blanked off the front third of the filters, this I find helps with the ram air at speed but does not solve the problem of inducting cool air at low speeds.

 

What or how do you control at what speed the fan kicks in? Where did you get the fan from?
