 |
|
Hi all
I am installing the Airbox onto the Zodiac XL firewall. Since I don't have a Jab3300 engine yet and the installation paperwork said to line up the air exit level with the inlet to the Bing Carb I have a problem.
There are no firewall measurements in the paperwork to locate this airbox? I have the engine mount and can fit it between that on the RH side, but how far down from the horizontal stiffener? How exact does it have to be L/R up ?down from the carb? the DVD is not that clear on measurements.
Pete Is this something that could be added to the 601 FWF paperwork
Thanks
Chris.

wait until the engine gets to your place then put the air box in its proper place.

I agree with Juan. This because you want to align the intake of the Bing carb level with the outlet of the air box. That way you have no weird curves in the hose. So you need to mount the engine before the airbox. Best of luck, Bill

I just finished mounting my airbox. I had the Jab 3300 installed at the time, but I can tell you that the location is pretty well determined. Vertically, mine is as close to the horizontal stiffener as possible. Remember that the control cable has to come through just below the stiffener, keeping the cable as close to the stiffener as possible. Horizontally, the bottom right (facing the firewall) flange of the airbox overlapped the diagonal stiffener about 1/2 inch or less, which I cut off. I am using the 2-1/4" radiator 90 angle hose that was suggested a while back. Everything didn't line up perfectly between the carb an box, but really close. It was as close as I could get it. I'm very happy with the way everything looks.

do what you want, keep in mind that the airbox is not predetermined as there are two different versions of airboxes floating out there, and the distance to the carb is different on both. Keep the excitement in your pants and wait for the engine to show up , then put it on, but then again do what you want, its your kit, and your money.

No, it is a black rubber 2-1/4" 90 degree elbow. Check it out here:
www.intakehoses.com CODE: 90L225
Someone on the forum suggested this a couple of years ago to eliminate the turbulence that SCAT tube can cause. The only problem with it is that the intake on the carb is a tad smaller than 2-1/4". I solved this by rubber cementing a little strip from an old truck tire inner tube that I had laying around inside to lessen the diameter.
