NC35 Ram Air Setup
Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2018 8:51 am
G'day guys,
I am located in Australia and I'm looking at getting RB Racing to do some work on the carbs of my track bike to set it up with ram air, which will cost up to $600
What they are offering is:"Carbs rebuilt, rejetted, base plate is modified to function as a 'ram air box', HRC trumpets fitted, slides drilled to the spec I know works with this setup. If the engine is in good condition, 64hp+ at the rear wheel". They will also override the vacuum system on the fuel tap. This is the setup that they run on their NC35 race bikes.
The price includes an HRC style undertray and I have the Tyga 'Ram-Air' airbox lid on the way.
When I asked them about HRC needles, emulsion tubes etc. they said that that setup was suitable for leaded fuel only, and that the setup they were offering was optimised for premium 98 fuels.
Currently I am running the stock airbox with a hi-flo filter and 118 mains with a full Ethos exhaust system and it runs well with nice linear power, however I intend on getting into racing in the near future so I would like to get my bike performing as well as possible.
There's no doubt that RB racing do fantastic work and they are guru's with these 400's, however I am in two minds about spending so much money on mods to the carbs that people seem to have real difficulty with when it comes to getting the set up correct and whether it is worth it over the stock.
What are your thoughts and recommendations?
For those of you that went with ram-air, how did it go over stock? Was it worth it?
