Italjohn's Typhoon project 172

Re: My Typhoon project 172

looks like an awesome project.
Cant wait to see it finished. :tup:

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

I did try this airfilter together with the 28 black Stage 6 carb on my Runner 172 today.
What a dissapointment, it's so restrectiv that the engine could not rew up.
If I removed both spongefilters, it could be used, but with no spongefilter inside there is no use of it anymore.



I'm than back to the "drawingboard", as the open filter I can use is making to MUCH noice.
Any suggestion on what filter to use?
I'm thinking of using a Runner 125 original filterbox together with a 25mm Dellorto and Malossi redfilter.

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

you adjust the carb to work with the new filter ?

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

Oh yeah, I have a carb expert as a neighbour, so he helps me.
There is so much vacuum in the engin, that it need a BIG open airfilter
The 25mm Dellorto must also have a more open filer than the one I have used so far as well.
I have the smallest pilot jet, and it still is too rich. (which equals more air in)
The problem is only in first 1/8 of trottle. The rest is ok.

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

You'll have to play with that filter to get it on the 25 mate, nibbles told me his was a right bodge

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

Yepp thats correct, it was a very tight fit.
Got some new parts today, will post some pictures later tonight.

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

Any one have any comment to this exhaust?

The add says it add 15% more power compare to the original one.
And it's very cheap only £ 150,-

Re: My Typhoon project 172

I got my box from PM Tuning today.
It's not so much to brag about, but anyway here is some pictures of the parts.



New rear fender, same as the Hexagon


I have also got my brakedisk back, this time it's straigth
Here is the new HEL brakehose from PM.




There was also a small adapter included, so I could screw the hose straigth into the brakehandle.



I have also converted the headlight to the new halogen type.




And I have fixed the light switch as well.

Re: My Typhoon project 172

Been a while since the last update, but I'm a little short on time, as I'm redecorating a bathroom + + +.
I did find this pick on the net, and mine will be allmost identical to this one.
Give me some weeks more, and I will post some real updates.

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

Thanks for the reply Minor.
I'm paintstripping the last wheel now, and will have them both powdercoated at work in about 2 weeks. (The factory is closed for the summer) Than I'm almost finish, and it's time for a start up :cheers:

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

I think I need to change the old rear damper, and have come across this "cheap" version in Norway.
What do you think about this, does it look ok?
