Cl350 carb

So I have a cousin that is offering to machine anything I need for my build. The first thing I thought of was some velocity stacks that have a lip on the end that would accommodate pod filters. This would allow the airflow to be smooth entering the carb and still allow the use of a real filter and not the screen that is on stacks. Does this seem like a good idea? I don't know what the benefits of this would be but it seems pretty like a pretty good idea to me. I'll try to get it draw up later and post to give a better idea of it.

Velocity stacks aren't just a tube you stick onto the end of the carb. They need to be designed appropriately in order to be more than a fashion accessory.
 
if you use large filters and not "pods" you should be able to,with considerable tuning knowledge,much time and hard work and with extensive testing using different lengths and combinations of sizes,on a dyno ,get some good results
keep us up to date
happy new year !!
 
So in order for them to work properly I would have to have the correct length, width, depth, and diameter which I assume can only be found with extensive knowledge? Wonder if I could get the specs of some stacks and copy them with an added lip. Seems like a lot more than I had initially bargained for.

Seems like I saw someone who had used a length of PVC pipe as an extension for pods that helped with airflow.

"pods" rob horsepower a stack with pods may help a little but it is still a net loss over a proper airbox or proper open stacks
or stacks with large filters
pods are for sheeple dude
 
You could scan the velocity stacks inside your stock airbox and have the new ones machined to meet the same specs. Not sure How that would work but honda designed them that way for a reason.
 
Got the rubber stack cut out of the box. Now I need to find a way to make a mold of the interior. I am thinking plaster would be the easiest and cheapest way.

Why do you need a mold? Your not going to cast them?
 
I honestly have no idea what he is going to do or if he can even do it. I would like for him to Cnc them out of aluminum or copper (if possible) mainly for the look, but that might be too difficult. Probably should ask him what he wants. The actual product or a mold.
 
If he is a decent machinist then billet won't be difficult. He should have the tools to measure the tapered ID and OD of the stacks.

They will still be a pretty high labor intensive job.

Copper would be insanely expensive.
