Morris Minor Owners Club

Ive had the bits since last year & have finally got round to fitting a decent rampipe & filter to my carb today
Ive always thought the ones available are are a bit compromised for the limited space on a mini so I Have made my own
I wanted the longest possible pipe for the space available & a decent box filter around it
I got a bare spinning & some scrap alloy for a base which I cut & drilled to match the carb face. Done some aluminium welding for the 1st time a bit messy but seems to have penetrated OK
for the filter I used a blank baseplate so I could mount it sideways to suit the car as the wiper motor is quite close. have only done a short road test so far but there is definitely a noticeable increase in power plus it sounds a little quieter than the old K&N one
Will have to get it rolling road tested now<br><br><br><br>

hey, you did it! sounded fine before, i don't know what you mean! just that wind noise you need to sot out...teehee!

It still makes the rasping induction noise at wide thottle openings its just taken the edge off it

Well that looks a good bit of ingenuity only thing I would question is does it flow as well as a K & N filter as the foam ones are often not the best, be interested in your rolling road results though.

I used this one as its the deepest of this type itg do so gives plenty of room around the rampipe inlet. The K&N one I had was ok but it was for a mini, quite shallow & the hole was offset very close to the filter element . I have had to richen the mixture slightly to compensate for a flatspot at about 5000+rpm so must be getting more air in than before, may be a few weeks before I can get a rolling road tune to get the right timing & needle sorted
will keep you posted
