@doc... is it a resonator to our snipey? im wondering what is the use of that part?

yup its the resonator in our snipey at the exhaust side..AIS..converted to a intake resonator...thanks to Brainier Lapid Ronquillo for sharing the info.:):cool::p:D:rolleyes::dance::hug::coffee::thumbsup: thats why dont throw away your resonator..its an expansion chamber with great use. good thing i still found mine buried it my parts bin..:oops:

good for 2 strokes to boost torque at lower rpm like the one installed in yamaha dt125/rxt135 but the effect on 4-stroke engines will be very small, owing to the fact that 4-strokes have valves to prevent intake flow reversion. Correct me if im wrong

cars are four stroke engines...

who is that Brainier Lapid Ronquillo? hahahaha
just got the idea from you pic @docgabby
i just searched some technical infos from the net,,

doc ok lng ba ung hose takpan ko lng? or me use tlga ung small box plastic?

that small box plastic is a resonator.. it is like an expansion chamber. when the intake valves are closed, air is bounced back which prevents more fresh air to enter the carb..

yup and that's the only way I could see it doing anything on 4 strokes-for equalizing a multiple cylinder engine. I think it's much better to install race cams that allows the intake valve to remain open just a fraction of a section to reduce the incoming velocity of the air/fuel mixture and have it at the ready for when you crack that throttle back open. The concept of this torque induction booster is to blow it into this bottle instead of back out the carb to stop intake reversion. If the motor is cammed correctly and jetted properly for the bore and port velocity, the motor doesn't blow the mix back out, but rather just counteracts it...and therefore no need for this. It looks cool though. Just an opinion, tnx for the sharing the idea:)
