I am replacing the rear cap on my 82 Eagle (6V92TA) with a new R&M cap. I and am wondering if I should move the original engine air intake scoop from the old cap or just leave it off and re-route the air intake. Are there any benefits to using this scoop? Later model Eagles were not equipped with a scoop for some reason. Thanks | ||

Bring the cooling system up to snuff, make sure you drive the DD 2 stroke correctly, and you can eliminate the "band-aid" | ||

Not having any experience with Eagle or even having touched one with my wrenches yet I will use the quotations marcs to conotate the level of my opinion "cooler intake air=denser charge=slight increase in maximum power potential and less of the smoke on full throttle conditions. More so at altitude, on long upgrades in high ambient temperatures with # 2 fuel and injectors above 55 sizes." The only drawback to keeping OEM design (besides the effort of incorporating it into your new cap)might be increased dirt for the air cleaning system to handle and heavy snow/icing potential under sever conditions if the system was not properly designed with a cyclotron air pre cleaner and some mechanism for adverse conditions bypassing" but that is just a speculation based on conjecture. On petrol powered vehicles it can be detrimental to remove the fresh air intake in millage , high output performance , engine life which is more than just messing up the Computers watched parameters as even the older carburated vehicles can suffer from disabling the OEM meticulously design fresh air intake/ram air induction plenum. | ||

Birds....... Eeeuuuuhhhh.... Suck a bird into your air intake... Just Kidding..  | ||

Boy, I missed the call of that post! I'm thinking radiator and he was asking intake. Cerebral flatulence episode. I'd check it out with a Magnahelic guage and see what pressure drop I got from ambient before any air filter. "Speculation based on conjecture" Truthhunter, are you getting paid by the word with a syllable-based degree of difficulty bonus? | ||

I am much worse in the spoken word! Just try to think of it as working out mechanical problems (as a deferment tactic) while working off sexual frustrations (via logic) This run of $pon farr$ is killing me; "anybody got a leg they ain't using". And the new Right Wing Cabinet thought they were having it rough with my demanding acquaintance. | ||

As I recall, the air scoop was high on the passenger side. I was always under the impression it was to get more air into the A/C compartment, not for engine cooling. Richard snip "I am much worse in the spoken word!". WOW, I sure would hate to listen to you all day. I think I would have a monstrous headache. LOL | ||

He makes me have migraines already so bad that I can't see the computer screen!!!Scream !!!!  he said " (as a deferment tactic) " more like a "dementia tactic" ... Just wait till he passes 50 !!! I thought I was smart from 6 to 40 but after 44 and through to 53 I am feeling that I am paying dearly for "not resting my brain enough"... It was a lovely ride being the fair haired boy, But after that wore off I found that I hated to be around them myself.. Now I try to avoid those who try to mimic "Deep Thought" wherever I can. No matter what the question the answer is still 42 ! | ||

Thanks all for the comments. Glassing that scoop into the new cap is going to be a pain so if I didn't need it I wasn't going to. Since I have the bus completely stripped to the frame now is the time to make any changes that are needed. Marc, don't feel bad. I read your reply and was trying to figure out how I was going to "Bring the (thinking engine air intake) system up to snuff"??? Richard, you are correct on the location but the scoop is connected to the inlet of the rectangular air filter housing ahead of the turbo for engine for combustion air. There was a thick pre-filter/screen ahead of the actual air filter to keep the birds out. | ||

You know those A.I.s DR.D , the new less detailed, less accurate , more simulated "shallow" 42.4 version is easily accessible my clicking on the blue bar to the left. As those interfacers concerns your report have been almost unanamously report and there is no efficient good that shall be forthcoming if there is a competitive data clash that might be allowed to arise in this fine information exchange. NO ill intent my learned comrads. | ||

Too complicated for me. I do not try to use all the words in the dictionary during simple conversations. Why, I type with two fingers and two thumbs. Works for me and I cheat by looking at the keyboard too.... A person would think that after more than 30 years pounding on keyboards I would have learned by now... Thanks for slowing down to read this, It took a long time to type and I am slow.... | ||

David, Type in the dark. Seriously, that's how I learned to touch type. Back in the day, I would chat on BBS's at night with the lights off. Everyone else in the house was asleep by the time I got on the computer, so the darkness was mostly to be polite. I guess a lot hasn't changed in the last 20 years, as I write this at 4:30am, in a darkened room. You may strain for a while to figure out which keys are what, and try to see them in the glow of the computer screen, but eventually you'll start remembering. Try to keep your pointer fingers on the alignment dots (on the F and J keys). I type about 100wpm now, which really throws people when they're watching me work. I'll switch between things so fast, they usually can't read what I just wrote, much less keep up with switching windows. I do a *LOT* of programming and systems stuff, so it's not just reading plain english, it's comprehending what I just wrote too. Truth Hunter, Ya.. I don't quite understand a lot of what you write, which is why I haven't answered your emails yet. I haven't figured out what they said. I may habitually use exorbitant verbalization, but to communicate efficiently it's frequently advantageous to use unembellished dialogue. ... and my English teachers always said I couldn't write. ha! I just never wrote much because they weren't asking me to write interesting things. | ||

We all do it our way; and take away what we may need later in our memory. I have learned that as I work on my own emancipated thinking, more as the biggest priority, that stored memory can be easily accessed when relevant. Just pleased to have us all bring what we chose too, to the table. I think it was trying to assemble all those "academia scrawlings" from the multitude of sciences over the years" that seems to have lead me to such a warped dialect of English. Which is why it is so hard for me to communicate anything beyond technical. My spoken conversation is worse. Thanks for you alls' patience & understandings, and thank the Artificial Intelligence that does the spell check for me, before I would have you thinking I was communicating in Dogonian or something far beyond Sirrus B. Just scroll over to the blue bar on that which give's headaches and think nothing of it all other than we are all trying. |
