Commonly done by turning it as you mention
As per title really... my airbox has more holes than should really be present so i need to come up with something else!
Has anyone turned a CBR1000RR airbox around and used it in the car? What are the issues with this likely to be? Do you usually have to turn the
throttle bodies around too or can i just rotate the plastic airbox?
I'm rubbish at this sort of stuff till i get bits in my hand... just trying to get an idea of the potential pitfalls to decide whether to go for
a purpose made box from AB performance for a fairly large amount of cash, or to have a crack at modifying the std box for £35.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Tim
If you can fit it under the bonnet Honda spent 1Trillion Yen designing it for the engine

I will try to kept an eye out on your posts..

We used the standard Fireblade airbox on our Phoenix, albeit on a 929 engine. We turned the throttle bodies upside down too. The car runs fine as far
as we can tell, although it hasn't been on a rolling road so it could have lost a little power. The only noticeable glitch is a slight flat spot
at around 6K but this could be due to the non standard exhaust system, we have no way of knowing. We are going to try to DYNOTUNE it out.
Talk to AndyB.
The airbox does stick through the bonnet by a fair amount. The CBR1000 airbox might stick out even more!

mines a fireblade I just turned mine around at 1st, gives a lower profile, but it was breathing warm air.

so we moved intakes as shown to get some cold air into it. original holes were sealed by a plate on the inside and outside of airbox and sealed with
tiger seal and pop riveted, engine certainly runs better when in cold air stream

something I've always said and ReMan has also said old man honda wouldn't have spent millions designing and developing the airbox if a 50p
bit of foam would do the job, after all it's hidden so it wasn't made for it's styling

I think everyone is missing the point, he is only interested in people who have done it with the cbr1000rr

Nice bit of thread resurrection here.. But the photos above from mad butcher show my current standard air box.
I have a bonnet bulge and am thinking of a sealed feed from the opening into the air box to get some much need cold air.
Will this ram air and pressurising have an adverse effect on the carbs? Its been jetted and in my head this will work much like the AB air box.
Thoughts?

In order to keep the injectors pointing in the correct orientation, you need to turn the throttle bodies 180 deg. Easily done, then the standard
airbox can be installed. There is a mod to do to create an intake tube, but AB Performance have a mold for that.
Equally they manufacture a low level airbox that will fit the CBR1000RR without turning the throttle bodies!
Well i already have a standard airbox, and im running carbs.
I'm just want to know if the ram air effect/pressure will cause any issues for the carbs?

Lovely looking car..
Didn't the ZX9R originally have a ram air setup anyway, i don't think the Blade did

You can increase the main jet size

Hi chap
yes you can use the original air box but you have to
Turn the throttle boddies around
replace the small plastic access hole with alloy
just remember you have to change the wireing around as the throttle bodies
would get the wrong firing signal otherwise
I am running mine at the moment with just that modification but i am going to
get the single air intake from andy at ab think he said it was £5-£10
If you like pm your email and i’ll send you some pics
