VCM OTR Owners

Good pic VooDoo i dont have that clip on mine might have to see how i can get it put on but not sure what it is attached to, to keep it down

I've seen a couple of pics with that clip in it now - didn't think much of it before. Must be a running addition they're doing to prevent any issues - not all the pics were on Vic plate cars.

What i can understand is that clip is not attached to anything it must sit flush with the filter so it doesnt move forward

Yes that is correct. But when I put my hand in either side of the front vents, the filter isn't a sung fit. I can feel a bit of movement.

But if you put a little pressure on top of the OTR it seems to be a snug fit. So I assume once the bonnet is closed it pushes down on the OTR a bit and helps the filter seal properly.

If I get time tomorrow I'll pull the OTR out and have a good look.

does anyone know if dusspeed make a maf version of it? i also like there engine covers they have too

 

[WogBoyz]

Pretty sure i might get one of them vcm infill panels aswell, how big hole is left once the airbox is removed?

Hey Wogboyz just took some pics for you from my phone to see how it looks

The pic where u can see a hole to the ground is the plastic got damaged so i cut a hole in it (it was flopping)

The engine bay pic as u can see i removed the rubber just underneath the wipers gives it some air flow
out of the engine so damaging the plastic i have airflow bit of a homemade job but no one can see it.

 

[WogBoyz]

Thanks for that mate ^

The russo is the best with the std 90 t/b, nice cool air

well i just found one called "ramjet" which looks like pretty much the same thing as russo cept they have a better/easier website with more info and pics on it

I just pulled my OTR out and that centre clip is only to stop the filter coming out. It doesn't push up against the filter like I was hoping.

I might see if I can find a thin strip of neoprene to run along the top and sides of the filter, so it will seal better. I can either glue it in or use some 3m tape if it will stick.

I remember when I had my dirt bike the air filter was foam with a 3-5mm bottom strip of neoprene for sealing. It worked great and there was no need for grease.

Hopefully this will work the same.
