Tor*p*do SN hood mod

[tor*p*do]

I have been studying the SN hood and comparing it to my 750sx hood
that keeps out water
750sx hood intake at rear, also allows water to drain

 

[tor*p*do]

SN hood only drains to the front
so after a stab
the hood is full of water and the nose is up in the air

I dont want to destroy my hood mid season
so snorkel time!

thats what i am looking to do. I had to cut the housing for the hose that usually sits behind the carb after switching to a 62t motor swap. now that water dumps onto the carb making it bog really nice after a stab. I am looking to do the same thing your looking to do with smaller diameter pipe. Looking forward to what you come up with.

Can't wait to see a new sq. hood idea as well.

Interesting idea. I have been trying to figure out something to do with my hood mid season as well. Let us know how it works!

studied on this a little while- 1 1/2 or 2 inch?
I have a 2' hole saw which fits OD of 1.5
and ID of 1.5 = 40 mm

I found the solution! Get a roundie!

fitted up and ready for the 4200
total elapsed time under 1 hour
need to find a way to seal the 1/4 of the pipe that goes
inside the hood seal

Could be a good idea. I know one good turn sub in my SN and the engine runs like crap for the next 2-3 seconds.

Same here. I can barely get it under and it starts bogging.

This how the first squares were done for freestyle before any aftermarket hood was made for the SN or before anybody put in a new homade liner. Rick Roy was doing this to his SN in the early/mid 90's.

inside the hood seal

When I did this to my SN before a complete liner I used smaller PVC so it fit inside the hood.

 

[demolition_x]

i did mine today, this is how i did it.

every thing fitted really nicely. I could have skipped on the glue probably if I wanted to. next is to fill the holes in the front of hood instead of duct tape, and drill 2 holes for pool hose in the middle. Should end up working pretty good.

 

[FyrHazard]

I like that demolition - nice and clean with minimal interference. Where you gonna put the hoses?

 

[demolition_x]

the hose that comes down between the tank and the motor. i will probably drill 2 holes for 2 more hoses and cross them with a zip tie or something. i don't like the stock hoses or the way they made the hood breathe.

 

[sflsurfrider]

torpedo, now that you cut the liner away from where it sits on the seal, youre going to take in air right from there.... water too.

d_x, is that 2 lengths of 1" pipe? that might be a little too restrictive.
