Air Cleaner Base Test | Holley JB Weld 600 | Flow Bench
A continuation of the JB weld Holley 600 test with air cleaner bases. The bases serve as a contoured inlet that will affect CFM. There are common air cleaner bases, 3 velocity stacks, and a special creation by @newguysgarage6802 . I test a variety of bases to give viewers an idea of would could work in application.

    The shape and position of the air cleaner lid has a lot more effect on the flow through a carb, I did this testing 10+ years ago and found you need a minimum of 3” between the top of the carb and the air cleaner lid, lower than that and you start seeing significant reduction of flow through the carb.

It’s actually in an N body running on 4t45e calibration so the shift logic should be correct. Although i do know how to change it. I changed the iss count to 39 and changed the gear ratios. Not sure if i have the pulse per mile correct thought. Mine is the 3.48 fdr. I have dhp and am fairly proficient with the bin file. The issue im having is that in “D” it will only shift 1-2. In “3” it will shift 1-2-3. In “1” it will actually still shift 1-2. Im also in Wisconsin! An help would be much appreciated. Messaging me on messenger is cool too. Gauge Dochnahl.

    I have a 1999 MXZ with 5000 miles and a 2003 MXZ with 2000 miles. I paid $1000 for the 1999 and spent about $2500 in maintenance and parts for skis, a seat, carb boots, fuel pump and carb rebuilds, Runners, windshield, plugs, brake pads, new shocks all the way around & etc. If it was a wear item it was worn out on the 1999. The 2003 had far fewer needs and was always garaged instead of an outdoor stored sled. The 2003 Was $2000 up front and cost me $1500 in repairs for new intake boots, full maintenance service for the fuel system since it sat a few years, it needed a new bumper and a new kill switch. I find that the 1999 is cheaper to run than the 2003 because repair parts for the 2003 are ridiculously expensive. Despite the 1999 and the 2003 both being 600CC engines, the 1999 is Carburated and the 2003 is Fuel Injected. You would think that would make a 2003 with only 2000 miles on it cheaper as there should be fewer attachments. But the 2003 Intake Boots were $240 each and the 1999 boots were $35 each despite looking very similar. When all was said and done after 5 or so years I have about $3500 in the 1999 and $3500 in the 2003 and both a great little sleds. I am upgrading the 1999 to precision skis to match the 2003's handling and eliminate darting this year, but other than that they ride very similar. I am looking at 2 more ZX chassis sleds. Both are renegade 600s for $500 and $550. Hopefully they don't cost me $2500 each to get them back in tip top shape, but they will need new seats and new bumpers as well as full tune up/trail ready service. If they have the EFI engines I am sure that I am looking at about $800 each just for intake boots, fuel system cleaning and chassis lubrication. When it comes down to it. It seems no matter what I buy, a ZX chassis will cost about $3000 to $4000 to put it on the trail reliably and that is if it doesn't need a rebuild.

      Its not that bad when you think about avoiding the cost of something new. The big thing is just trying to get one that doesn't need a rebuilt engine. But even if it does I done the rebuild in the past and it was typically around 1000 (precovid part prices). I enjoy the zx platform and only ride a handful of times a year. To me its worth it and easy to work on.

      @@josephnowak Agreed, that is why I buy ZX chassis too. Easy to ride, easy to work on, easy to store. No taking off multiple pannels. You just open the hood and everything is accessible right there. The parts are readily available too if you don't mind Ebay or Facebook Marketplace.

    I was just having a conversation with a buddy who worked at airaid about a cotton vs paper. I have a KN filter and lid on a 408 sprintcar engine. Filters off perfect tune on the carburetor put the Filter on runs like shit. Great video, my buddy was correct after watching your video

    That's a really old sled, it's good that you could do your own work, because labor is really expensive and even more for labor that you can trust. I'll bet it gets up and goes now

    Stub stack seem to be a win but they're $75. I had a mr. gasket air filter spacer kit ($15 now) and one of the pieces I used as a stub stack. Just had to sand a little and tape to the base.

    Saw these same results on air filter "filter" lids -- They are a performance loss every time The thinking was it causes to much turbulence - I think it was David Vizard that did the test t

    That's not all that needs to be done. It needs bigger needle and seats and air bleed change, plus take the screw in jet extensions out and change to the ones from holley that fit over the outside of the jet, the screw in ones have too small a hole and restrict the jet flow for e85.

    • @josephnowak
      @josephnowak 9 месяцев назад

      I should have mentioned the needle change. Its in the quickfuel instructions. I bought stainless needles and put them in the chrome bowls. Chrome bowls arnt necessary but they are more resistant to corrosion. The jet extensions are drilled but maybe the slip fit version would do better? The airbleed setup is really close to what it was. I did play around with it a little because i had airbleeds to try. Thanks for commenting!

    Here is a dyno test that had a tapered back plate making less power than a right angle back plate. why? ruclips.net/video/Z2y2-MQrGO8/видео.htmlsi=029nsgVzYt0zsgqI

    • @josephnowak
      @josephnowak 9 месяцев назад

      I dont have a direct answer but mainly thoughts on how much further this shouldbhave gone. This shows how finicky air flow can be but it also leaves dyno related questions unanswered. They had wideband oxygen sensor data - if you look at the setup its there. It would of been nice to see that data or at least touch base on if it was the same or different, if there was one in each bank even better. A test without the element installed would of been nice too - it would eliminate the question about the step in the base. With carbs its not just the air but also the fuel and what the air flow does for pull on the fuel circuit. There is also fuel and air distribution that is a unique ingrediant with a vtwin - one cylinder will pull hard than the other due to the uneven crank angle between firing cycles which makes the jetting a compromise. Overall i enjoyed the video.
