'89 Elite LX De-restrict
Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2011 10:39 pm
I have an 89 Elite LX that I recently installed a 44mm BBK on. I am going to play withthe jetting to get it right but I have a few questions as far as derestriction. The scoot has the stock airbox, stock muffler, stock everything. I would like to get this airbox and variator handled before I dive into the trans to change the gears. SO here are my questions....
I have heard I need to modify the stock airbox by drilling some 1 inch holes? How many and where ould be the best location?
Second, I am assuming this model has a restricted ramp plate in the variator. Does someone make a non restricted version of the ramp plate that I could swap in?
Is there an OEM Honda derestricted ramp plate that I could buy, (if I knew which model) from Parts Fish, you know like a factory derestricted ramp plate?
Will a variator from a later model DIO type engine work? Lets say could I get a Keli or Polini type variator?
I am just looking for suggestions really to see what would be the best route to take to get these things dialed in.
Not sure what to do about the muffler situation, since thre are not a whole lot, basically no options for a better exhaust.
THANKS
