QQ 102" Canister and ventilation

CarlosRC · 05-13-2007, 07:42 PM

I'm not sure if when using canisters, should I make an opening in the cowling to improve ventilation and cooling the engine. I don't have any problem so far.

Thanks

For every inch of intake opening you should have 3 inches of exit opening I am told. Good luck!

Hello Carlos;

Open the oil pan and baffle the intake. No need for extra cuts in the cowl. if you are not doing lots of 3D and you are using DA100, it is not necessary to baffle the intake.

Thank you,
Reza
